| Bofferbrauer2 said: If the console were that powerful, it wouldn't fit into a handheld format anymore. There's no hardware currently in existence that could concievably deliver that kind of performance while being able to be used as a handheld. On the other hand, the most logical choice has roughly the raw power of the base PS4 - though with modern optimizations should be a good deal more performant in the end. |
On a 5nm manufacturing node @ 15W, which makes the most sense for reasons mentioned here, one should expect something on the order of performance of a GTX 1650 desktop, assuming (for good reason) Nintendo is sticking with Nvidia.
A GTX 1650 is decent bit (about 60%) more powerful than the PS4's GPU and more like the GPU in the PS4 Pro (of course without being bottlenecked by a crap CPU.)
In hand-held mode, roughly PS4 level makes sense though.
The Switch 2 is also expected to have a lot more ram and a much, much better CPU than the PS4.
