If it is a T239, I am almost certain it is going to be something other than 8nm. 

For the very good reasons presented by those with the computer engineering knowledge. 

It comes down to this: why would Nintendo and Nvidia go with 12SM if 6SM or 4SM would be cheaper and provide better performance? 

But we know the T239 is 12SM from the leak. 

So either the Switch 2 will consume a lot more power than we think, or they are using a different node. 

I'd give it an 80% chance it is the latter and a 20% chance it is the prior.

The fact that you are 99% certain about something you have very little domain knowledge of should give you pause. 

Not really just not common sense. I been hearing people like you with domain knowledge be dead wrong about Nintendo hardware for generations. always over hyping the hardware by magnitudes and ignoring common sense. i can almost guarantee you were one of those that kept hyping fp16 saying ti would match xbox one and ignoring that it was a moile device that had to be down clocked. what about when wii u  had inferior ports well common sense would tell you if the GPU was 2x more powerful then 360 on newer architecture it would run games better nope they kept on arguing   till a developer leaked the specs.

"Common sense" does not supersede domain knowledge on this topic. You're delusional if you think so. You obviously have no idea what you're talking about. You've shown this again and again in this thread (and on Neogaf.)  So there isn't much more to say. 

The person I sourced on 12SM vs. 6SM vs. 4SM was called a detractor by Nintendo fans when he was suggesting that 12SM was a stretch on 8nm and they should contain their hype. That's the opposite of "over-hyping." He remained consistent that 12SM and 8nm don't make sense at Switch power levels regardless of whether or not that means better performance or worse. 

But of course you never even knew what 12SM or 8nm meant until this discussion started. It doesn't even seem the case that you know what they mean now. Your whole post history on this topic was to accept whatever confirmed your bias. 

And no, I wasn't talking about Switch hardware in 2015/2016, because at the time I didn't have the technical knowledge I have now, and I was modest enough to consider the fact that I just didn't know something enough to comment on it, let alone suggest I was 99% certain about it.
