| zeldaring said: We were expecting t239 in switch pro almost 3 years ago, sure it doesn't look very dated when compared to the competition but the reality is no one is selling over 100 million units with a handheld gaming device but the tech in switch 2 if it indeed is a t239 is very dated at this point. |
I don't see why it matters that it is using an Ampere-Lovelace hybrid chip if it is going to perform roughly on par with other mid-ranged gaming handhelds at the point in which it releases. Especially if it has a process-node shrink (either to TSMC N7 or N5 from Sammy 8LPP.)
Orin chips themselves were announced in 2019 and weren't commercially available until last year.
If there were a gaming handheld with a full Lovelace or Blackwell GPU releasing in the near-future you'd have a point, but there isn't.
So basically it is a distinction without a difference.
