| Kyuu said: Series S is technically garbage. You only had to pay an extra $100 (25%) for a console multiple times more powerful in 2020. Ampere's RT and ML hardware is far superior to RDNA2, giving the Switch 2 a real efficiency advantage. It's been obvious from day 1 that there would be scenarios where the Switch 2 comes close to Series S and even beats it in some aspects. RT per horsepower and RAM capacity favor Switch 2. |
We've gone from "I doubt FF7 Remake Integrade is coming to Switch 2! I doubt the Switch 2 can run that"
To "well Switch 2 topping the XBox Series S in some areas in a big ticket 9th gen exclusive is no big deal".
lol, a little 8nm portable that's half the thickness of a Steam Deck and substantially smaller outperforming a 70-80 watt walled, stationary current gen console in a modern gen open world blockbuster game in areas like lighting, reflections, and even frame pacing is BONKERS. Watt for watt this is probably easily the most powerful piece of hardware on the consumer market.
I said all along architecture matters but even this result, this early in the Switch 2's life too is beyond my expectations.
