Quick question, how are these specs compared to the ps4/vita?


Roughly 3x as powerful as a PS4 for the "home console"

The console is using a weakened R9 290x level GPU with DDR4 memory? Sounds like it's gonna be expensive, then. I'm not convinced.


Hell no, a 290X would drain the battery in minutes. It'd be something else from AMDs new line, quite probably a mobile 'M' variant which I don't think we've seen anything of yet.

As for the people screaming fake, well... it might be, but let us have our fun

Even so, I highly doubt they can make a low-power GPU with that much power that could fit into an affordable console. Not until the PS5 and X-2 are on the way, at least.

Isn't it suspicious that the specs of the "next" Nintendo console are so detailed when no one knows all the specs of the Wii U?


What are you talking about, we knew the Wii U specs inside and out months ago.

That is no where near as detailed like the so called successor hybrid.

And thats just on paper. The differences between what a 1.84TF GPU (PS4) and what a 4.6 TF GPU (This rumor) can do is massive.

 

Dont get me wrong I would love to see Nintendo titles with those kinds of graphics but the jump in power from the Wii U to this would be perhaps the biggest jump in raw power between consoles ever.

oh just looked at the codemanes BRILLIANCE!!!

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Well I believe that a GTX 780M, which is the most powerful mobile card on the market is at something like half the card mentioned in the specs at ~2.3TFLOPS. Give it 3 or 4 years, plus the ability to push the card faster than in a laptop due to superior cooling of the console form factor and I think it would be doable, but I agree that it would be expensive. It would still be viable, but far more expensive than recent Nintendo consoles and I don't know if they want to abandon their place as the cheapest option in the market

It's difficult to speculate on price though as the 780M doesn't seem to be available for purchase on its own

EDIT: Also, it could well be that Nintendo ditch their focus on small form factors and power consumption next gen and go all out on power - A small box I can understand the appeal of, but it doesn't seem to hurt Xbone and does anyone really think about power consumption when buying a console? Of course you still need a big PSU and good fans to get away with it which can be expensive but who knows? It's probably fake anyway, why not speculate?

While that is rather impressive the rest had me wondering is that it?

Exactly. Within the next 3 - 4 years a 4.6 TF GPU in consoles is feasible but the cost would be enormous. PS4 and X1 GPUs arent even anywhere near that. If Nintendo sticks with their general strategy of cheaper parts I would think a 2 - 2.5 TF GPU would be much more likely in their next console. More powerful than the "last gen" but not a huge jump either

That's just it, though. In terms of raw performance, the upper limits on what we see at the absolute highest bleeding edge of gaming laptops is still around 660Ti levels. Given how much performance lags behind on mobile GPUs compared to full sized graphics cards, I suspect that the level of performance stated here will expensive even 4 years from now. 

I can't see Nintendo being the ones to push that when they've been so hellbent on undercutting their competitors on price since the N64 days. MAYBE Sony and MS, but not Nintendo.
