ARM "leaks" that the Switch is using 4x A57 cores on FB, but removes the post to avoid confusion

Its got a weaker CPU than the PS4 or XB1, does it matter by how much?

It would have a weaker CPU than the PS4 but not by a lot if it used a quad core combination of A57s, the CPU wouldn't be a serious issue or bottleneck to developers. But check post update, A72's are back on the table.

IPC (instructions pr clock) are in the same neighborhood performance wise (supposedly).

With half the cores, and half the clock speeds, your looking at something like 1/4th the CPU power.

Maybe its more than that? closer to half the performance of the PS4/XB1 in terms of CPU.

Its still weak though.
