Evidence growing that new Switch models will use die shrunk Tegra X1 variant, same as new Shield TV models.

Imagine 1080p screen with lots of sub native games and awful battery XD
if that's all you want sure, but there are people hoping for MORE than that, they will be disappointed if Switch pro won't come out with a beautiful 1080p screen and many ports of Xbox One games
As for the resolution, Switch was the most powerful thing released at launch some people have trouble adjusting to the sacrifices necessary to port current gen games to a little tablet device , New model should help with that just lets not expect miracles until Switch 2
Possibly a post for a different thread, but assuming this is real, is the system transfer process as mind bending as the 3DS?
Say I sell my launch month Switch for this pro model. Do I just log in with my Nintendo account, and all's good (minus the few games that don't do cloud saves)?

ooh, hopefully 7nm. Should give a nice boost to battery life and if the clocks are the same as before it may not even need a fan anymore
I sold my Switch in early June for $200 in anticipation of a E3 Switch pro announcement. I regret it, I wish I would have waited a bit even if I would have gotten $150 as a trade/sell price.
People expecting a 1080p screen are living in cloud cuckoo land. The battery would barely last two hours lol.
I definitely prefer a 720p screen because it's the best for scaling pixel art and retro games. If you have a 240p game (e.g. NES*, SNES*, Genesis*, arcade archives), it's a simple 3x scale, and everything lines up perfectly with the pixel grid of the screen. Shovel Knight and Sonic Mania look absolutely perfect on the portable screen, for example.
If the Switch had a 1080p screen, 240p content would need a 4.5x zoom, and nobody seems to implement that properly. Even watching Nintendo's own Super Mario Maker 2, I spotted some shimmering while the screen was scrolling due to the uneven pixel grid.
(*Yes I know about the 8x7 stretched to 4x3 thing, but even just having one axis correct is great.)

7nm seems unlikely, and is there any question nvidia isn't sticking with TSMC? They're the ones manufacturing it, not Nintendo.
You have to deactivate the old Switch amd activate the new one, but the deactivation can happen from the website. Not 100% sure if it automatically downloads cloud saves or if you have to tell it to.
That said, if you do have both systems present, you can move data between systems locally, even if cloud saves aren't supported. Can either be done with the full account or individual saves. Just keep in mind it's a move, not a copy.
I don't have first hand experience, but it seems possible. The non-primary system probably can't venture too far from an Internet connection, and you'll have to manually move data back and forth for non cloud save games, but it looks mostly fine outside of those on paper.
Nvidia will be moving to Samsung's 7nm rather than TSMC's . but that's for Ampere. Mariko might still be with TSMC since it's to be made this year
I would hope the Pro variant is more beefy. Why release it if its mostly the same? To replace the normal Switch?
yes. they can't stay on the current node because it prevents cost reductions
Guess ill wait then. I think if this isnt the "pro" model it will probably get made later instead.
the pro model you're thinking of is the Switch 2 then, with the move to 7nm (will probably be called 5nm by then) and a new cpu/gpu setup
If it's on a smaller process, that means they can, and most likely will, crank up the clocks.
I hope the Pro model is a console only version, with the lighter model being handheld. Surely there is a market for both? I would just love to see Zelda,, Metroid etc in much better fidelity for once.
All reports suggest the pro is a hybrid with a similar form factor to the original.
It really makes no sense for Nintendo to drop the proven, highly successful hybrid model in favor of two separate devices again.
I'm dead ass buying an orange mohawk sticker and putting it on a Switch Pro if I get one haha.
They might make one of those eventually, but it's probably not happening this year.
given how bright Nintendo's games are, I don't think OLED would be that beneficial for battery life
Thanks! And yes I am very much. Just a tiny bit bummed there's only 4 boards.
They could do that on handheld. I imagine if the handheld ends up getting OG docked switch clock speeds, it will also have the lower power OG swithc portable clock speeds.. and we'll at least get 1.5x as much battery life. 1080p screen likely won't happen, and as you said, waste of battery and resources.
It's likely 12nm, but could be 16nm for all we know. 7nm isn't happening if its coming out this year. Nvidia won't have 7nmmass produced till next year
Like 4 of them, New 3DS did not split anything, it was like the DSi, which had more support for exclusive games than New 3DS did
