Admittance you don't care about evidence? Fair enough. Your prerogative.

Indeed.
I am feeling things are a little calmer this time around, we aren't getting a new thread with a new rumor every day going around asserting that it's going to be AMD powered or IBM powered device with 32GB of Ram, so that's a plus.
| Chrkeller said: Really depends on clock speed and amount of ram. One of the reasons I want an announcement is to know for sure what the device will be. I would expect 112 gb/s with 12 gb of ram to be significantly different than 88 gb/s (underlocked) at 8 gb ram. Same is true if by chance Nintendo goes 16 gb ram. Lots of unknowns so it is really hard to tell. I think porting is relatively easy (at least easier) if the S2 is 16 gb, but 8 gb could be problematic. Don't get me wrong, ports are possible either way, but 8 gb likely would need more customization (time/money). To be clear I think the 12 gb rumors are fair and that doesn't strike me as unrealistic, but with Nintendo you never know. At the end of the day, really depends on the price point Nintendo is trying to hit. Nintendo doesn't typically take a loss on hardware. And Steam Deck and Rog Ally are all $550+. Personally, I don't see Nintendo going above $400 for the S2, but that is speculation. Others disagree and expect $500. |
Ram capacity -will- be stupidly important.
Frame Generation, DLSS, Ray Tracing need oodles of memory space to all competently operate.
I would personally like to see 16GB as the minimum, but it depends on the type of memory bus they go with.
