If I am not mistaken, Bloomberg also said that they are halting the production of regular switch (makito) chips.
It means that this newer chip is also coming to switch lite and regular switch, and they have to keep them at the same price.
So, it seems that this chip will not have a big leap from regular. Maybe is just the newer regular chip with an extra tensor core module for DLSS.
Some easy predictions:
-I cant expect any price drops, considering the high demand for the switch and chips in general, it is also in good momentum. Not seeing any price drops until 2023. Then they could experiment 180/250/300$, but considering Nintendo, still unlikely.
-Also, seems that the battery life of the 3 devices will be higher. Better chips for old models and less battery intensive oled screen (and DLSS disabled when on portable mode) for the newer.
-The differential seems to be the DLSS, so, no exclusives. Not even in the future. Regular switch just renders in low res, the newer works in the same way, but use AI to increase the resolution to 4k when docked. So old switches could also receive the games. They will not distinguish the regular switch based on the version of the chip, so, every game that is on newer chips should as well be on old chips.
