I could be wrong but won't clock speeds determine the memory bandwidth? 122 gb/s is the max and if the chipset is underclocked it could be a good amount less. The switch was underclocked by a good amount. I guess basically I'm waiting for confirmation via Nintendo before making too many assumptions. |
From what I'm understanding, it seems like the Switch 2 will be getting some heavy cooling in docked mode, and they will clock it. Once in portable mode they will throttle down the clock and features. I think bandwidth and clock speed ultimately combine to get throughput, but are not necessarily where one determines the other. But I'd assume that when a manufacturer designs an architecture, they will consider both one factored against the other. Take it with a grain of salt I'm not that good in hardware.
Given the Switch 2's hybrid nature, and with the speculated fans, I would say it will have high bandwidth and high clock speed when docked, and high bandwidth and lower clock speed when portable in a more significant way than with the Switch 1. It gives hope that the docked mode will be satisfying when displayed on a large screen at high resolution.
