Is there a full interview? He mentions that one core was somehow lost and that was a challenge. I wonder if S2 had originally 7 of 8 core for games unlocked. |
Yes I think they had 6.5 cores to use initially and made heavy use of that 0.5 core but then Nintendo took it away and gave them the 6 cores only. So they had to move code back into the main 6 cores. So all launch games are 6 cores but if Nintendo optimises teh firmware and gets it onto 1 core later games will be able to make use of 7 cores. I think this is what happened with PS4, launched with 2 cores used but went to 1 core.
