Yea that's true. Alex from DF did do some interesting theorizing to see whether or not a "Switch Pro" would be able to do DLSS. The video overall is interesting if you have some time to kill:

The results are quite insane!

Thanks for the video with very interesting results. The bigest problem in this whole theory, tho, is Nintendo actually going with an SoC that's so new that it hasn't even launched yet (only been announced as far as I know).

That said, I've been looking at Orin and found the article that WCCFTech did about it and found this excerpt:

"In a slide shared by Dylan522P over at his Twitter feed, various DRIVE configurations for the Orin SOC are listed. It seems like Orin will have a few TDP / workload-optimized variants with the base 1-Camera variant offering 36 TOPs at 15W, the 4-Camera variant offering 100 TOPs at 40W, a 2 chip variant offering 400 TOPs at 130W and the top-end 2 Orin + 2 discrete GPU variant offering up to 2000 TOPs at 750W. It looks like the TDP of the 200 TOPs, single-SOC lies somewhere around 60-70 Watts."

With the 1-Camera variant as the base of the console, Nvidia will work to do to turn those 36 TOPs at 15W to 20 TOPs for 5W, and using a more advanced process node isn't feasable as Orin is supposed to use Samsung's 8nm.

Also, back in June when everybody assumed Nintendo would reveal the Switch Pro, Kopite posted this:

If we trust him when it comes to Nvidia GPU, we should also give him the same level of trust when it comes to this, right?

Yea it will certainly be interesting to see how it turns out. Nintendo could also increase the battery capacity and increase the tdp by making it slightly more bulkier if they need to. The switch has a 4300sh Mah battery while phones these days that are smaller and slimmer than it has over 6000 Mah. So there are certainly things they can do to make it more powerful. It could increase the price but the Switch was also "expensive" when it originally launched.

But hopefully they make the right moves at the end as the Switch 2 really could be revolutionary.
