| fatslob-:O said: IMO, Xavier if ported to 5nm and with a lower clockspeed as well would be perfect for a Switch successor so long as Nintendo doesn't worry about backwards compatibility (incompatible ISA) ... I don't know if Nvidia likes the idea of tailoring to the specific needs of a big customer because so far all Nvidia has done recently is use off the shelf available silicon so they might actually refuse to design/build a truly semi-custom chip unique to a customer ... |
nVidia tailoring chips to specific customers is probably exactly what they need to do. AMD has been stupidly successful with that approach... And nVidia might be just taking that exact approach with Mariko... Which doesn't have any equivalent released chip currently.

Orin would be a more impressive fit though.
