Only if it's LPDDR4. If it's not the low power version, DDR4 2133 is basically the base model - and thus the cheapest one When the Switch was conceived, the RAM prices where still falling and lower than nowadays, so it's possible they choose faster RAM than they would do today. LPDDR4 1600 would be too slow, as I can't see any eDRAM - the console would even choke on the bandwith in handheld mode, let alone console mode. At closer inspection, I can only see 64 lanes, which would give the switch with LPDDR4 1600 only 25.6 GB/s, way too low for graphic intensive applications like games. Even Smartphones have a higher bandwith nowadays, and not only the high-end chips. |
I'm trying to keep people's expectations low so there would be no disappointments in case it's the lowest denominator, keep it all super low, just assume it's a TX1 with fucked clock and slow ram for now and wait for the teardown, speculation helps nobody lol.
