OG Xbox One is more than twice as powerfull..... its atleast 3.3 times in terms of compute. However look at stuff like Memory Bandwidth. A more heavy compute switch would be memory bandwidth starved, and adding better memory bandwidth would drive up such a Switch 2.0 power consumption. Also lets keep it fair: Xbox One X is the cloested xbox released to the Switch. So if you want to talk power effiency lets use that. Switch is 393 Gflops and ~18watts. ergo the Xbox One X is more power effecient than the Switch is, dispite the switch going for low power low memory bandwidth ram, not haveing a HDD ect.
There is no way a future Switch, in the near future (even by 2027) is able to do what the Xbox One X does now. |
On the CPU side its much closer. But my main point is that 10 years is a long time. In the past 2 years for example Galaxy phone have gone up in power be 3 times. That's just in two years.
So by 2019 based on this standard the Switch could be on par with xbox one. In 4 years. 4.5 terraflops. in 6 years 13.5 terraflos. In 8 years about 40 terraflops and in 10 years about 120 terraflops.
I'm not saying it will grow this fast in power. I'm just showing you have power in mobile phones and in console grows exponentially. Typically when they come out with the new process they cut the die size in half which doubles the performance per watt plus they add new efficiencies on top of that.
No doubt the technology will exist in 9 years to come out with a mobile device that beats the xbox one x. It remains to be seen if Nintendo creates one.
