Rumor/Leak for specific RAM and storage capacity of the Switch sucessor (Centro Leak)

I do think people are misunderstanding vram.  The size is how much can be stored and bandwidth is how fast data can be loaded and unloaded from the vram.  The ps4 was 176 gb/s and the ps5 is 448 gb/s.  That was a massive jump.  Don't get me wrong the switch to S2 is an absurd jump.  But I think people are focused way, way, way too much on size of the ram and are ignoring bandwidth.  

One of the reasons the Ally and Deck are limited in resolution and fps is because both of those require high memory bandwidths.  

Granted we don't know the exact bandwidth of Switch 2 yet, but given the Switch 1 had just 25GB/s, there's definitely the potential for enormous gains in speed as well as capacity. We'll have to wait and see, but it's definitely encouraging in the meantime that Nintendo seems not to have cut corners.

No doubt the S2 is a massive jump, as it should be, given the Switch is decade old technology.  The S2 will max out at 120 gb/s, maybe less. 

My only point was don't rate the ps4 to ps5 just on amount, bandwidth is a huge player.  

In simple terms a still 5 gb image quality at:

30 fps needs 150 gb/s

60 fps needs 300 gb/s

120 fps needs 600 gb/s

Crank the resolution and image quality to 10 gb:

30 fps needs 300 gb/s

60 fps needs 600 gb/s

120 fps needs 1200 gb/s

This why only PC can do ultra settings, 4k at 100+ fps.

But yes, the S2 will be a powerful mobile device.
