He says The Matrix Awakens was running with ray tracing and uses no ray reconstruction. I don't really know how this is possible, but that's what he's saying. If that's the case, then I almost wonder if this has to be Lovelace architecture and not Ampere. Kopite when he first leaked the Tegra T239 said it was Lovelace but I dunno I think we just assumed Ampere? If it's Lovelace I think that means it has to be a 4nm chip because Lovelace is 4nm or lower only from what I understand.

Ray Reconstruction is available on all RTX GPU's.
No Ray reconstruction was the defacto model prior to DLSS 3.5.
It doesn't confirm what architecture or chip it's using.

The Tegra X1 was the best mobile chip period when it released in 2015, it was a monster chip.

Before the Switch even launched, there was a better chip, higher performing, more efficient chip.
The Tegra X2.
Could have offered 50% more performance at the same TDP.

On a 8 inch display? 1080p is more than fine, even 720p is fine so long as the image quality itself is good.

I generally like higher density displays.
However for the sake of battery life, lower is better.
But there is a middleground between 720P and 1080P like 768P, 800P, 900P... There are options.
But it also throws a spanner in the works when you can't do integer scaling to other displays on a successive device.

And the PS5/XBox Series X could have used the 6000 series AMD cards which were launching in fall 2020 ... but no one says those are badly outdated at launch (definitely were behind the Nvidia 30 series).
I also think Nintendo was targeting holiday 2016 for Switch they just barely missed it. They had nothing for holiday 2016 and were forced to release the NES Classic to kind of fill in the lack of product they had to sell, they just couldn't release Switch at that time probably because the software would not have been ready.
The bottom line is the Tegra X1 was still on the very high end of mobile chips for late 2016/2017. It was a better chip that the Apple A10 that was in expensive iPhones and about on par with an Apple A9X which a monster of a chip for an $800 iPad Pro.
