Oh yes.



They didn't lie.... the cut down the case clocks. Dunno why people think whenever they hear custom it means they made it better. They had to customize it to make it work as they needed it to work.



Ofc they customized the price.

Anyway, this explains why botw is struggling at 900p. The power is simply not enough.

Not really that bad honestly, the Xbox 360 had 240 GFlops, and it remains to be seen if the X1 on the Switch is really stock. 

No it doesnt.

Thats what this thread is about.  PROOF that the switch is a normal Tegra X1.

Someone cut open the chip and took a photo, and looked at it, and it looks to be identical to the Tegra X1.

I don't know how someone could be sure by looking at that photo as there are many areas either damaged or uncovered...

Switch die shot vs Tegra X1 die shot:

 

Theres a much much larger version of both avalible if you want.

Anyways Id take the word of those that took the photo and studied it, they probably better judges of it than I am anyways.

Too me they look like a match however.



Didn't Nvidia say there's no money to be made in consoles? They must have a sweet deal.

Case clocks?

So being stock X1 is a good thing, or were we expecting a custom to be better than stock?

It gives plenty of room for improvement, the New Switch is going to have fantastic battery life.

It's about what most have expected for a while, but it falls below what many initially hoped for. The end result is about the same though; well specced handheld, poorly specced home console.
