Medien-Posts von NextHandheld (@NextHandheld) / X When I read through the speculation about the hardware here, many people seem to have forgotten what it was like with the Switch 1. It has the Tregra X1 chip but in a customized form. And adjusted downwards. The Switch version is less than half as fast as the original chip. The same will happen with the Switch 2. The dock could have a fan because maybe the power supply is in the dock or it has a fast charging function or something like that. And with Mario Kart, Nintendo also started writing numbers in the names at some point. Why not do the same with the consoles? |
The Tegra X1 wasn't really a customized chip at all, it was just (well) a Tegra X1 which was running on a poor design node (20nm) that ran hot.
The T239 in the Switch 2 is a different story, that is a chip made for the Switch 2 primarily. It doesn't really make sense to downclock a custom chip because you're just paying for graphics cores on the chip you're basically not using. You could get the same result using fewer graphic cores and just clocking up and have a cheaper chip.
The dock in the fan probably allows for the T239 to full clock.
