With that logic, Nintendo will never get full AAA third party support. 

am I the only that thinks the OP makes no sense?
Hes pulling numbers out of his arse without explaining where he gets them from.

Somehow 471 gflops becomes 707 gflops.
but maybe it has extra cores and then with its gpu speed it could be 921 gflops!
but then no, thats to much, it wouldnt run full speed, so that 921 is actually just 710 gflops.


what?

Op doesnt explain anything.
I still think the most likely situation is the one Eurogamer gave us.
150 gflops (portable) and 397 gflops (docked).

They atleast explain why they believe its has 256 cores, and what speed those run at ect ect.

Op just pulls numbers outta his butt :p

The more practical version of that is looking at GPU usage (%) (how stressed your gpu is).

Fraps, msi afterburner, and alot such programs have just that.

Usually games dont have such in them.... closest they normally come is a frames pr sec, counter.

The problem with some of this "info", is that they're basing how a port of a Wii U game runs on the hardware.

Perhaps they should wait until we have ground-up Switch games that really push the hardware, before people speculate.

let's forget about
-the weaker CPU
-the Ram being slower and half what the one has
-the fact that a game needs to be able to run in portable mode first, meaning that the real bottlenecks are in the handheld mode. So all we can expect, is a difference in resolution or FPS, but that won't bring the power needed to run for example ME andromeda at 720p 30fps, not without some serious downgrades


I would add that if the dock mode was that much powerful, Splatoon 2 or Zelda would run at 1080p easily. But they aren't.

The Foxconn leak had details that are impossible to guess like the orange and blue Joycons and the exact type of battery the Switch is using, the leak also had performance higher than what EG had, the Switch event pretty much confirmed it as a legit leak, Eurogamer may have had correct information that was outdated as they admitted sitting on it for months while the Foxconn leak was most likely from up to date units.

I was thinking the same thing, lol, the OP just randomly says its 384 or 512 Cuda cores, the leaker never said that. 

It's likely a 256 Cuda Core part (just as the Tegra X1 is), but hopefully die shrunk to 16nm which would allow if to be more power efficient. 

I get that... but did that same leaker say "its 70% of a xbox one" ?  (if he did why did OP even bother with those nrs? just say leaker said 70% of xb1)

Also someone that works at a factory might know those sort of things, but have no idea about performance.

Except Splatoon 2 was only a demo and BoTW is a launch game, games don't magically upscale to 1080p because the console has more power, with Zelda probably Nintendo didn't had enough time and/or they didn't though it was so relevant, the artstyle makes it look almost like a 1080p game, MK8 is one of the very best WiiU games in the graphic department and that one is coming at 1080p with perfect 60fps.
