Nah I reckon 2-3 years time now that NVIDIA owns ARM. They will throw more money at it to make it happen quicker.  The way Sony and Microsoft are pumping out the consoles so slowly (for obvious reasons out of their control) I think they will be around a bit longer than normal

Sorry to tell you, but the ARM purchase stopped last month.

Well damn that does make things a little bit more different and interesting to see where it all goes from here. Would have been nice to have that NVIDIA money thrown at the next development.

I guess it will now come down to how much Nintendo will want to customise something like the Orin NX. Do they need more RT and Tensor cores added to get DLSS running better? does it have enough to get it to 4K?
