Actually, you can know the core count of any chip, compared to another chip, by the weight asuming you know the core count of that second chip. But only if you put the chips on your head because thats the best part of the body to calculate differences in weight.

I think he is basing it on the part that sais " *A much powerful version, producing 2000x units for now *The core is 1x times bigger than the one above,200m㎡". Apparently some people think is a November 2016 devkit update. The source is just too confusing in its wording, so who knows how the OP and everyone else interprets it.

 

At the OP. You are lucky Pemalite is not here to kick your butt for your overreliance on Terraflops to measure performance.

I know Traktor over at NeoGaf brought up a great point of this much larger devkit fitting the role of Nintendo's SCD patent perfectly. Whether we hear anymore information on if this is something they are actually pursuing is another thing all together, but it definitely brought up a lot of conversation concerning this leak.

The Foxconn worker also describes the core being much larger than the original Switch SoC and that it was a GPU core only. Which speculation started that because of the dimensions the leakers gives, it fits that of a gtx 1060 chip exactly! So it brought only more questions that if he got everything so accurate, what is the purpose of this new devkit that not only has the screen interface but the original Switch SOC, plus the much larger  gtx 1060 core... Maybe we will hear something from Nintendo down the road or maybe they are just testing ideas, not sure at this point.

So it would use the Switch cpus with the SCD gpu. Maybe the Switch GPUs too.
