Lol i don't care what some Nintendo fans on a Nintendo board with wishful thinking have to say. To me 8 inch screen plus koplite sayingits 8nm and df saying it's the most likely scenario plus the leaked documents saying saying 8nm means it mostly likely will be a 8nm but hey if I'm wrong I'll eat crow and  but I hope you are prepared to the same.

It would quite literally be easier to use 8 sms at higher clocks to achieve the same or BETTER results as 12sm on 8nm.

That's the thing, it doesn't even make sense from the "Nintendo uses cheap parts!" ... OK so why use a much larger, more complex 12SM chip with more graphics cores on it when you could have gotten the same result from 8SMs and fewer graphics cores. 

It's added cost for no real benefit. 

Now tell me again how this fits in to how Nintendo works? 

The other problem with Samsung's 8nm process is I believe it's a dead end process. From what I've read it's not compatible with their 4nm/5nm processes, so how is Nintendo supposed to make a Switch 2 with better battery or Switch 2 Lite? I'm not sure they could. Beyond that, Nvidia has purchased no other Samsung process lines either. They have purchased TSMC 3nm, which would naturally scale well from TSMC 5nm (4N), so there you would have a clear cut blue print for Switch 2 + later on Switch 2 Lite and Switch 2 Better Battery Life model.
