| Green098 said: I'm more certain that the X2 or possibly an even newer chip will used in Nintendo's next gen system with a Switch 2, the X2 would be too expensive and is too powerful in comparison to be a New 3DS upgrade, also they use two different architectures making game development a pain as one wouldn't just simply run on the other without any effort. |
I'm pretty sure the X2 can run anything the X1 can, it specifically has a mode that lets you run X1 stuff just at half the electrical draw.
I don't think it's all that expensive either, the Jetson X1 launched at the same price as the Jetson X2 that Nvidia sells (keep in mind these are *not* mass produced items, they are for a small community of developers).
The X2 is simply the newer version, time progresses, new chips come out, the Tegra X1 is a 2015 chip, we're not in 2015 anymore.
I think "Switch 2" will be the Tegra X3 or X4 (or whatever the equivalent is). That chip probably won't be here until 2019 or so.
