Faster on MGz, but not on architecture, in real performance the NS cpu is better. |
What are you on? Switch is about 13,000 mips after 1 cpu is taken for the operating system. PS4 is something like 33,000 after 1 cpu is taken by operating system and the architecture is better too with many CISC optimisations possible. It's about 3-4 times more powerful but then it has to drive a gpu about 8-12x more powerful as the Switch gpu when portable. PS4 absolutely slaughters the Switch for cpu performance and the xbox one goes even further which is slighter faster in cpu terms. PS4 pro takes it even further again. PS3 slaughters it in cpu terms too and xbox 360 is just ahead, about 17,000 after one thread is taken for OS. Most modern mid range to high end android tablets have higher cpu resources than Switch, as do many smart phones. The Switch is faster than wii u but that was only about 9,000 mips. What would be the point of the Switch being any faster anyway it only has 25.6GB/s of memory bandwidth it would just end up bottlenecked if they pushed the cpu and gpu any more. Don't forget its 3 ARM A57 chips at 1ghz nothing more and that 25.6GB/s memory bandwidth has to be shared between games and the operating system. It has limited memory bandwidth so it simply cannot move data around in anywhere near the same level as ps4 or xbox one, its memory bandwidth is actually less than ps3 and xbox 360 and some would make the case less than wii u which had 12.8GB/s for main memory but something like 60GB/s for its 32MB of high speed memory used for the frame buffer so the wii u had 2 pools of memory compared to only one with the Switch.
The top performing pc cpu's now are well over 300,000 mips.
