The 8nm Nintendo Deck ladies and gents. 90 whole minutes of battery life when clocked like a Wii U! 

Also as an aside that ransomware attack on Nvidia was crazier than I thought. It basically exposed their entire product pipeline for like the next half decade. T239 is the only chip that has the NVN2 graphics API (Switch 2 API) so basically that has to be the chip. 

Seeing as how the Steam Deck litteraly chunks over the WiiU Gamepad ... Tells me how much portability the Deck has in practice. Which is almost none.

Why you can barely notice it in a pocket. 

The funny thing is the Switch 2 chip at 8nm that's being talked about would be a way bigger chip than then Steam Deck. The Steam Deck APU is a 162mm2, which is big, but the Switch 2 would be around 220mm2, lol. And likely it would have to be smaller than the Steam Deck just to be the same size as the Steam Deck ... what I mean by that is as we know the left and right sides of a Switch are not the actual hardware itself, they are removable joycons, so all the actual system hardware has to fit inside the behind the screen portion only.

So we're talking about a chip way bigger than the Steam Deck chip, with way less room inside to dissipate heat and presumably it's going to be some how thinner too? And *then* you can add the right and left Joycons ... so how big is this thing going to be exactly? Good luck with the engineering on this thing.
