Likely 3d printed/fake.
| IcaroRibeiro said: Exactly that thanks! I was expecting a bit more from storage, with the size of current gen games I doubt we could save more than 4 or 5 AAA games. RAM is REALLY great, Series S has 10 GB No idea of how strong is the SoCl though |
Keep in mind that Nintendo's OS's tend to be less efficient than Xbox's, so Nintendo may reserve more ram for smoother online systems... Which is sorely needed.
Paper specs only tell part of a story... For example the Xbox Series S does have 10GB of Ram, but not all of that is available to run Games, the OS takes 1.5GB-1.8GB of Ram for itself... Which is actually on the low amount all things considered.
The Xbox One X for example has 12GB of Ram, but only has 9GB available for games, which is partly why the Series S isn't at a massive disadvantage when compared against that console, the available Ram for gaming is less than 1GB difference.

Whilst the CPU is a terrible generic ARM core cluster that leaves much to be desired... (Even Snapdragon 8cx Gen 3 has it beat!) It's hard to argue with nVidia's GPU proficiency.
However... T239 has lots of cuts. I.E. No camera ISP and IO for example and very reduced 4x PCIe Gen 4 lanes, but does include some additional highlights like the File Decompression Engine which is a boon for gaming.
The GPU should beat Apple's silicon and is able to leverage DLSS which is the best in the business.
But let's not kid ourselves. It's not a high-end chip, it's a cost-optimized chip with a focus on the GPU, Nintendo should get some excellent mileage for their dollar out of it.
