| taus90 said: Oh Nintendo always rip off, but its understandable why they are doing it, as the hardware they have is in partnership with Nvidia. Switch is basically a Nvidia Shield with x1 which is a 20nm chip from 2014. Also why do u need better battery and cooling solution when the heat and power output is as same as a switch, And this is not even on 10nm, even a mass produced snapdragon 835 is outputting 500+ GF at 2k resolution, bring that too 1080p it goes even higher. far better than Switch in docked mode.The only issue I could think of is LPDDR rams bandwidth but again with a closed platform and a fast SDXC card or an onboard nvme solution those can be easily offset. Again apple with its A11 chip has showcased that very same thing which you are skeptical about, infact A11 is derived from the PSvita hardware successors which i mentioned in my previous post.. an in house custom design 3 core GPU, based on PowerVR cores and for CPU 4 high power cores and 2 low power cores and that think is outperforming a 2017 mac pro with i5. I am an iOS and Android Developer and the things A11 can do really makes me wish sony should consider a vita2. And if u talk about the price of iphone 8, remember we are talking about apple here. Also if Sony and MS can redesign a far worse Jaguar APU and produce the result which we have on PS4... u think they cant redesign a far better and more enegy efficient ryzen apu to fit onto a tablet size device?? Bottom line is a system designed around close platform and ability to code directly to hardware will always be better than general purpose device based on the same hardware. |
So to clarify: Sony can make a handheld almost a generation jump ahead of a handheld Switch, including enough memory to allow for a collection of portable PS4 games, and it'll cost about the same as a Switch (which costs the high end of 'cheap' for a handheld)?
