It was only a matter of time till Nvidia got on the chiplet train. Likely won't come to Consumer space for a while though.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 rumors: 2.9 GHz boost clock, 1.5 TB/s bandwidth and 128MB of L2 cache

Considering the rumours of no high end Radeon GPUs next generation, the price would likely be crazy high. Still should be brutally fast.

Funny how we have rumors regarding the specs of the 5000 series but we still don't know what architecture it will use.

Next-Gen Nintendo Switch is close to PS4/Xbox One performance, Activision internal emails claim

https://videocardz.com/newz/next-gen-nintendo-switch-is-close-to-ps4-xbox-one-performance-activision-internal-emails-claim

Endless amounts of rumours flying everywhere so take them all with some salt. But PS4/One level performance is about where I'd expect.

While that mail doesn't tell us anything regarding the tech details of the console, it does reveal us some info.

1. They have the education to refer Nintendo's Furukawa with the -san term even in internal documents.
2. It tells us the expected performance of the console.
3. It shows that Nintendo shared its plans with third party publishers almost a year ago, and likely at least 18 months before the launch of the console, more than enough time to prepare some ports for it
4. Last, but quite important, it shows that Activision is actually interested in developing good games for the console, a change from past launches.

But well, that likely means that there will be a CoD port at launch.

One thing to keep in mind is that MS did sign a 10 year call of duty deal with Nintendo so they will be making games for the Switch 2 regardless of what it's power profile will be. But if Nintendo is able to get a nice power profile for the switch 2 that makes it easy for third party game devs to port it over, we may be able to finally break the curse of Nintendo consoles failing "every other generation." The price will be the big question though.
