If DF are correct and we've ended up with an 8nm Ampere when we could have got a 5nm Lovelace setup you can maybe understand my slight deflation as that would have been a serious step up.

Fun fact - 4050 mobile vs 3050 mobile (2560 version, so both with same 2560:80:32:80:20 config) is some 30% faster on average for same power draw.

That's what 4nm for 4050 vs 8nm for 3050 does, basically allowing for much higher clocks in 4050. So yeah, it would be really nice if Nintendo went with smaller node, which is not very likely.

Exactly. If the OG Switch had been 30% stronger then perhaps I and others wouldn't have held off on purchasing TOTK & other software and Nintendo would have had more money on the back-end to offset the higher initial investment (not saying that they had an option to achieve this with OG Switch, just pointing out S2 could suffer a similar fate).

My fear is that DLSS may be too expensive in a lot of situations for S2 (this was touched on by DF in their Cyberpunk analysis), which would be a major bummer...

30% more grunt would have given them the extra headroom and then some.
