| JRPGfan said: AMD resently announced AMD Ryzen Z1 + Z1 extreme, which are 15w-30w APUs (for thin laptops), that can reach upwards of 8.6 Tflops of grafical compute capabilities (for the Z1 extreme at abit under 30watts). (Switch is around 0.4 Tflops (400 Gflops)). (granted this is the newest new, likely on 4nm nodes ect, and not even out yet) |
The Z1 are just rebadged 7040U series.
It may have 8.6 Teraflops of FP32... But it can't use it in any meaningful way.
| JRPGfan said: So Spec wise, I'm expecting a Switch 2, to do something around that (if nintendo wanted to). |
There is one big issue with that.
...Bandwidth. The achilles heel of all mobile processors.
| JRPGfan said: Yes, Im expecting more than a x10 performance uplife in terms of the GPU inside the Switch 2. |
FSR is a given regardless if it's nVidia or not. It's hardware agnostic.
| Soundwave said: DLSS 2.0 can hit 4K resolution even from as low as 720p actual native resolution, so "4K machine" is not that big of a deal with Nvidia's DLSS tech. The first 1:30 of this video shows how passable even extremely low resolutions can be with DLSS 2.0 enabled, you could definitely have like 360p for undocked (DLSS-ed to 720p) on a small screen and even 720p for docked mode (DLSS-ed to 4K) and it'll be passable. |
I am of the opinion that 4k is a waste of energy in a mobile device, reconstructed/upscaled/A.I enhanced or otherwise.
1080P is a great middle ground on a 7" panel, provided it's a quality panel and not a TN/VA panel with muddy contrast ratios.
