| Hiku said: I'm not sure how the next gen consoles will be comparable to other hardware. Series S was rumored to be 4 tflops. Yet it will run circles around the 6 tflops Xbox One. But if Switch 2 could come close to Series S, then that would be one big hurdle removed. I think another is the cost of cartridges. |
How would you do that with a 20-30watt device though?
Mobile is more power effecient at lower performance ranges, but they cant scale up, while keeping the same effeciency.
They are designed for low power, and work best at that range.
Once you start scaleing up some of these Arm CPUs and mobile GPU they turn no better than current x86 CPUs.
Could Nintendo magically make a Switch 2 thats 15 times more powerfull than the current Switch? while still being a switch?
I dont think so... they at the very least would need to make it bigger though (more cooling, ect), add bigger batteries (more weight) ect.
The problem is you then run into the issue of size, handhelds are expected to be a certain size to make the portable aspect real world usable.
You could have a laptop sized Switch 2, that would be as powerfull as a Xbox Series S without much issue.
Is that still a switch though?
