Nintendo would be buying the same chip on contract, several years at a time. People should keep that in mind, Nintendo pays the average 3 year price for a SoC, not the buy one in 2022 price. The price from nVidia is cheap. They could easily sell a Super Switch with 1700 GPU cores for $400 if they wanted to. I'm just trying to get ready to be disappointed with only 1000 cores. But anything is better than what we have now. Just a ram speed and capacity upgrade to 16GB and 4x faster RAM because of the wider bus the Tegra X2 uses, for example, would make a huge difference even without many cores. Even just 700 of them.
I want Nintendo to adopt 16GB of ram like the Steam Deck, that would make me happy, even if the GPU is weaker.
