Casing size doesn't make a Gigabyte of RAM count for less, 3GB is 3GB. And fabrication size shrunk massively from 2005 to 2015, allowing the same number of transistors or even considerably more to fit into a vastly smaller space.

You're free to remain skeptical, and it is clear at this point this discussion is at a dead end, so yeah, no point continuing this.

No, but it does decrease airflow, and is coupled with the smaller fan and portable form factor. Just another round of circumstances surrounding this that makes it significantly more involved that just "what has more RAM and hertz?"

 

I'll be back after I give Dark Souls a go on Switch.

You seem to have a massively skewed memory. Obsession with comparing everything to God of War 3 is disingenuous. Switch is still in its first year, and when we compare equivalent launch titles on PS3, the difference between the two systems becomes profound:

The moment you realize one system was the size of a small fridge, whereas the other is smaller or at least equivalent to a 7" tablet you have to be very impressed with how Switch performs. It's a handheld, after all.

 

Can it surpass PS3 in all circumstances? No. Cell could still do some nifty things that are impressive even today.
