Nintendo Switch 2GB or 4GB?

You don't get to read many completely one-sided and hugely biased comments like yours on this site. Frankly you are utterly clueless. Each time you answer with some ridiculous belief that the Switch will perform well above its specification. You need to step back and try to get a grip on reality, Nintendo isn't your friend its a commercial business its doesn't need such ridiculous loyalty and bias.  

Oh giggity. Personal attacks. Here is an idea, have an intellectual discussion first (If you can), leave the drama at the gate.

I constantly ridicule Nintendo's anemic hardware, I also haven't owned a Nintendo device in years, so there is certainly zero loyalty or bias, if anything I am more Xbox Leaning with a primary preference for the PC. Master Race and all that.
I also will not be buying the Switch because it is underpowered, overpriced and I dislike the form factor.

And when I am comparing the Switch, I am comparing it to Graphics Core Next 1.0 and AMD's older Very-Long-Instruction-Word based architectures, it's common knowledge nVidia's Maxwell and Pascal beats AMD around in efficiency. - That difference in efficiency is almost embarassing when compared to older Architectures like what is found in the Wii U (Which is VLIW).

Even before the performance downgrades, the Switch was between the Wii U and Xbox One in terms of performance, with the downclocks, it's still in between the Wii U and Xbox One, it's just a little closer to the Wii U, this is something I have stated multiple times. - If that is being "Loyal" and that I need to "Get a grip on reality". - Then I simply don't care about your opinion.

You have gone totally over the top with the claim effiiciency improvements and we are already getting a good idea of the Switch performance level by what we have seen. There are compromises made with mobility chipsets. It certainly looks like the docked performance boost for the gpu is just going to be resolution and the core game is just going to be based on portable performance rather than any effort to make 2 distinct modes and perhaps cartridge sizes will dictate this.

I've a feeling once the hype dies down we may see that indeed the humble wii u actually can perform to a higher level than Switch in some areas. That 70GB/s 32MB of edram memory which gave the wii u a significant performance boost graphically may actually help deliver some surprises against the shared memory of Switch with more minimal cache memory. 

It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds again. Most people are saying how much better Zelda looks on Switch but as some detailed comparisons have shown its not all one way there are advantages on the wii u too some big advantages with lighting effects and shadows. Whether this continues to the final retail games is uncertain.

I still believe in the Eurogamer spec based on the speech to developers rather than the Foxconn leak that could be stress tests etc while manufacturing. Certainly looking at the performance of many games it almost feels like the eurogamer spec is too high and perhaps the max mhz of the gpu while docked will be lower at retail.

Surely its in Nintendo's interest to impress us with the games on a technical level but most look so poor and are struggling to show distance between the wii u. It really feels like there is a bad surprise coming with regard performance with the Switch. Worse even than are current already low expectations.
