Both of the following statements can be true, they are not mutually exclusive: A) Nintendo went high end for a portable B) S2 will have a memory bandwidth bottleneck compared to home electronics |
C) ROG Ally runs pretty much all current gen games with slower LPDDR5 RAM.
This is more bandwidth than a $700 ROG Ally (the higher end model). Significantly more actually.
D) This likely also indicates a GPU that requires that extra bandwidth. A ROG Ally crushes a PS4 by being able to run many games a PS4 couldn't dream of running, so it should be asked why Nintendo needs even more bandwidth than a ROG Ally. Well it probably points to a Tegra T239 that is fairly performant. If Nintendo just wanted PS4 tier performance, you don't need LPDDR5X for that, not with even a 2022 era chip.
