Yes. Per rumors these magical chips will give the switch 2 ps5 visuals in the palm of the hand at a low price point and with amazing battery. One might wonder why Steam, Asus, Lenova and many others aren't using this world altering revolutionary chipset with their portable systems.... The answer is simple. Nvidia only wants to sell it to Nintendo. (Yes people actually believe this nonsense) |
Except you realize the Switch 2 is probably running this Matrix demo at maybe 1/9th the resolution? Maybe even less than that?
Asus can make a console with a Tegra processor in it ... but who's going to make games for it? Asus? You?
Steam Deck type devices are using AMD CPU + GPU x86 chips because 1) AMD is desperate for cash and willing to sell those chips cheap 2) they have an x86 CPU which means it's a PC, which means no game development is required as it'll run hundreds/thousands of games from the word go. The downside is the battery performance and efficiency of these devices is going to be a bit assy.
CVG has a good track record and there's good precident for this, when Nvidia showed the Tegra X1 in 2015, they used the Unreal Engine 4 Elemental Demo to show off the chip ... using The Matrix Awakens, it lines up exactly as something Nvidia would probably do.
I also wonder if there are some "off the books" features DLSS 3.0+ has that they don't advertise or want known for the PC. Like as in it can resolve images from even lower resolutions than what Super Performance Mode DLSS 2.2 did. If it could do something like take 360p and go to 1440p or even 4K ... because DLSS 1.0 to 2.2 made massive improvements here and AI models tend to get better.
Though if that was possible I can see why Nvidia wouldn't advertise it or make it officially available (because why buy like a 40 series card if you the DLSS feature is getting that good).
