So similar to the Switch 2 mario kart bundle with an extra controller and software title. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-rtx-2050-mobile.c3859 The Nvidia T239 appears to be an inferior version of the RTX 2050 with about half the performance (according to that recent Switch 2 PCB analysis), it has much lower memory bandwidth on Switch 2 and also shared memory rather than the dedicated memory of the RTX2050 mobile chip. As you can see the RTX 2050 is about 5 Teraflops of performance. Similar to a RX 480-580. |
The problem with the RTX 2050 is that it is memory capacity starved. Sure it has system ram to swap from, but that comes with its own problems. Especially with these entry level laptops that tend to come with only one relatively low-clocked (4800Mhz) 8GB SODIMM ( in single-channel.)
So while a Switch 2 docked mode is about 60% the performance of a top TDP RTX 2050 and 80% of the performance of a low-end TDP RTX 2050 I suspect it will be able to achieve a bit more and have longer longevity.
The build quality of these entry level gaming laptops are pretty lackluster too, whereas the Switch 2's build quality has been described as "premium."
