How did I miss this post yesterday?
You start by ignoring that xavier is probably already around 40-50% more powerful than the ps4's gpu. And while it isn't something made for a switch form factor, IF a switch like device were to release in 2019 using a downclocked xavier, it would be a little above ps4 when docked and switch in portable mode. And that's what could be done now. Nvidea's next set of mobile gpus should come out in 2021, benefiting from years of technology advancements and a die shrink to 7-8nm (maybe even 6).
1.5 years then, as the switch was schedule to release in late 2016 with 2015 tech. This is no different than ps4 and x1 releasing in 2013 with 2012 tech and ps5/xsx coming in 2020 with 2019 tech. Each using what's apropriate for their for factor.

Your saying that the Xavier T194 is 1,4 Tflops of FP32 compute.... those are your own words, from a earlier post.
Then you go on to say:
"your ignoreing that xavier is already 40-50% more powerfull than the PS4's Gpu" -Nu-13
Do you know how stupid that sounds? or not realise how much FP32 compute performance the base PS4 model has?
Its sitting at 1840 Gflops of FP32 compute (aka 1,84 Tflops).
Ei. Xavier is still weaker than the base PS4 model's GPU (~30watts).

That xavier model is the 30watt one. The 10watt one is closer to 0.8 TFLOPs
Yes I agree with him that TFLOPS can't be compared 1 to 1 with nvidia v amd, however that is still a big bloody difference.
Can developers port their games? sure. we seen some game ports form PS4 now, but they are blurry.
What a lot of people do not understand is developers are not going to put in a lot of effort into porting when porting between PS5/XBSX/PC is easy.
Hence why it is pointless releasing a switch 2 in 2021 as it won't help get ports anyway. The mobile technology needs to evolve further, or Nintendo if they want chances at ports need to take another direction.
If anything Nintendo need to be forward thinking with Nvidia and say ok we want to release a console in 202X, what chips are due then let us create something around those. Not what come out in 2021 for 2023 release. If Sony and Microsoft can work with latest hardware coming, I don't see how Nintendo cannot plan ahead either.
