| shikamaru317 said: I’m really hoping that Switch 2 is fairly impressive technologically when it releases in a couple of years. Something like: Screen: 6.5 inch 1080p with HDR CPU: 8 core ARM Cortex-A77 at 2.2ghz GPU: Turing or Ampere cores, 1.4 tflop handheld, 2.6 tflop docked RAM: 10 GB of LPDDR5 Internal Storage: 256 GB with 1000 MB/s read/write speed Expandable Storage: Support for SDXC cards with SD Express speed standard of 985 MB/s Game cards: Capable of about 1000 MB/s read speed DLSS support If they can pull that off for $350-400 by Holiday 2022 or Q1 2023 I will be quite happy. |
