| Alistair said: 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. |
Just to steer the conversation back to the Switch succ, I'd be pretty happy with just a standard full generational leap.
PS4 visuals are still impressive and if you have DLSS so you can you can render natively at lower resolutions (like 480p portable, 900p docked) but have the image look like it's 720p docked, 1440p or even 4K docked, that'll be quite a machine for Nintendo. Hopefully they keep the OLED display too.
I mean the Zelda or Mario game they're going to be able to make for a chip that powerful is going to be wowza.
