......and my amiibo are coded with hexadecimal algorithms. Take that science!

It's very hard to say until we see an actual game running on it. We'll have to wait till January's briefing. Just on paper, my expectation is the Switch is to the WiiU what the Wii was to the Gamecube. 

It's sad that these kind of threads need to be made.

Thanks for doing it, viv.

But, I need a graphics card for my PC that has 10TFlops!

Although the above statement is true (I hate frame drops) As long as everything operates as it should, I see no issue. Not everything can be played on a PC, and the Wii U just hit dreamcast status. Looking forward to the switch. We'll see how everything runs and operates. Honestly, today, I just use consoles for exclusives.

Really hope the switch doesn't fail.

That assumes the Parker chip in Switch is vanilla X2. But being a "custom" Tegra it could be more powerful. Or less powerful. I hope nVidia distinguishes it as something like "Tegra N" rather than "Tegra X1"/ "Tegra X2"

I don't think nVidia and Nintendo would both decide to use the exact same chip in cars in the Switch. A gaming device has more use of extra GPU than a car.

Different use-cases. Different products.

If you're expecting/require Mass Effect Andromeda,  Final Fantasy XV and Red Dead Redemption wait (but also prepare for disappointment).

If you simply require a abundance of good games you should know by the end of January.

Do you mean Jaguar vs ARM Cortex-A57(rumor) or GCN 2.0 vs Pascal(still a rumor?)?

It doesn't really matter, Jaguars proccessors weren't known for being particulary decent at floating-point performance or anything else really.

Notes for fairness: 

- This article was written in 2013. (Jaguar is an old ass cpu architechture.)

- Quacomm Snapdragon is a custom design based of ARM Cortex-A15.

- All ARM cores featured here are 32-bit proccessors. 64-bit ARM was introduced in 2014.

- I cherry picked this chart because is the only one I seen that shows floating-point performance.

- Jaguar performed slightly better on certain tasks, like physics. (Against these old ass 32-bit ARM cores.)

That said, if you have any evidence that can back up your claim, kindly show it to me. I like learning new things.

The problem is we do not have real world examples and probably won't get until it releases. So FLOPS is the closest we can get for guesstimates.

I know Tegra is mostly used for cars with smartphones and tablets being more of a fringe case but that doesn't mean it's just made for it. The X2 (or P1) has the most powerful Tegra graphics yet. Honestly I would be surprised If Nintendo's device will have anything above the specifications beside a higher clock in dock mode.

I'm no expert on graphics or game programming, but I'm under the impression that there's quite a limited range of situations where half-precision FP numbers are usable. Any experts capable of shedding some light on this? How much of a boost does FP16 give over FP32 without too much noticeable degradation in image quality (or other areas) in a typical modern game?
