| numberwang said: PS4 Pro and XBOX were still using Jaguar CPUs and GCN GPUs so the same design generation as their base units (XBOX did get a generational RAM upgrade to GDDR5 from DDR3). The Switch X1 was outdated when it hit the market and the late 2021 chip set should be multiple hardware generations ahead. If Nintendo stays with their idea of a "NX family" we might get many new deices under the Switch label. |
Xbox One X's GPU may have been of the same line but it was still a new and more modern design well ahead of the 2013 base model, and doesn't use on-chip ESRAM like the base and S models so it was significantly different, in addition to the new RAM and the addition of HDR and 4K upscaling on both the S and X models.
Switch Pro will likely be of the same Tegra/ARM chip line as well in order to maintain full compatibility, and the addition of tensor cores is much like X's addition of GDDR5 RAM.
