Note: I pulled these numbers off the dome, so I can't imagine they are perfectly accurate, but the point I was trying to make should make sense. |
I didn't think about that before, but that totally make sense. Next gen PS5/XB2 will most likely push native 4K resolution for games, so that's good chance that Switch could run same games just at much lower resolution, for instance 1080p in portable mode and if thats not enough than at 720p. In docked mode same games at 1080p or in less demanding games 1440p with upscale to 4k.

The next home consoles are featuring 8 AMD Zen 2 cores which is slated to have somewhat higher IPC than Intel's Skylake cores which was roughly ~3x (?) faster per clock compared to jaguar/cortex-A57 and will have full rate AVX/AVX2 compared to current home consoles ? CPU is arguably going to be more troublesome for the Switch 2 rather than it's GPU ... |
Actually current CPU is biggest bottleneck of Switch. Of Course that PS5/XB2 will have stronger CPUs but Switch will also have much stronger CPU, I mean we already have announced ARM A76 CPU thats miles better than A57 (after A57 we have A72, A73, A75 and now A76), who knows what we will have in around 5 years period.
