That's not true. You cannot just slap a new chipset into a "Switch Pro" and expect all games to run, run well without glitches, and run substantially better than the stock Switch. They'd have to customize an all new chipset that is still X1 based and even then heating issues would still be a barrier. Not to mention the fact that most games have capped frame rates and resolutions (even when dynamic), so most games would have to be patched. It's simply not going to happen, not with a revision. |
Sure you can.
You see... Nintendo choose Tegra Maxwell, which eventually got ported to 16nm TSMC's process.
Nintendo could absolutely grab Tegra X2, which is feature-identical to Maxwell because it's based on Pascal, port it to 12nm... And enjoy 50% more performance straight out of the box.
Remember, Nintendo isn't using custom propriety hardware, it's off the shelf... And that comes with a plethora of benefits in regards to performance and backwards compatibility.
As for what Nintendo will/won't do... Nintendo tends to operate in it's own bubble... And will often buck market trends/demands... All I am indicating is what is possible, not what Nintendo will/won't do... That I don't care about.
