Well once there is proof then that is great.

Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

Something I've not seen mentioned is that game with variable resolutions should maintain higher resolutions with this boost.

According to someone on NeoGAF it also improves loadtimes: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=229674113&postcount=2786

I want to now if I can install and run games from the external not just applications.The wording in their statement seems fishy.Anyone who is in the beta please let me know.

Just like launching from system. Once you plug the HDD in the system recognizes it and you load your games up that are on the external.
