Agreed. Have we even seen RT-cores used in a mobile/handheld device that needs at least 3+ hours of battery life? Probably not.
Those are midrange expectations lol
They will not put Nvidia in the spotlight, just as MS and Sony rarely talk about AMD.
Samsung's chip crunch might affect the Switch revision too, not just the Galaxy Note. Their Austin fab has been shut down since the Texas freeze. One of the fab's products is Samsung's OLED DDIC (display driver IC):
It's sounding more and more likely that any talk of a successor, whether it be a refresh or a revision, would happen next year at the earliest. There are just too many supply constraints and it's unlikely they could release anything and still be able to keep it in line the quarter estimates they made in the Bloomberg article.
Yes, Nintendo probably locked in the OLED panel price with Samsung, but the driver IC shortage is still going to affect them.
Depends on what "low power mobile architecture" means, but in a sense yes
This sounds worthy of a seperate thread to me; but what article are you talking about?
It is not a public article so no need to put too much spotlight on it ^^
Haha...okay, sounds about right.
Is it locked behind the terminal? I tried to search on the website but found nothing. Anyhow it's a matter of time until it is public so we only neee to wait lol.
They saying a strong slate of launch games already shows that BotW 2 wont make or break the launch and they are gonna be able to launch even if they delay BotW 2.
Assuming it's locked on the terminal then? Wonder when it'll go public...
Yes locked on the terminal for now
Yeah, this seems like the best way Nintendo could do it. Making a revision with an OLED screen and basic upscaling for the dock would only make sense if it takes the place of the current Switch. Otherwise, why release it and then a few months later a Switch pro?
I wonder how people will spin this into Aula. Liquid Metal?
I guess (and hope) that these 4K remasters will be all third parties, maybe games that are not available in Switch yet? Because otherwise is going to look bad
4K remasters of existing Switch games? First party included? I'd hope we just get free upgrades...
I mean, if MPT releases it would be a 4K remaster. It would still run on the current Switch but not in 4K obviously.
See above. I am expecting legacy titles remastered in 4K (like MPT or TWW) not current Switch titles.
Well, if they are cases like these is fine, as long as they don't release 4K ports/remasters of games that already exist on Switch
I think he is just giving a range of performance.
I don't think you should be afraid of this.
Yes I know, I'm just scared that such level of power won't be used totally by Nintendo due the fact that games have to run also on OG Switch.
Worst case scenario would be higher fps/resolution - regardless of how you approach it there will always be use for more horse power.
Modern first party games run perfect on Switch and Nintendo will focus on that platform for the coming period of time. Then, they can enhance it for the Pro.
That's promising. Zelda being the focus title is what we were expecting. Affirms my hopes it'll be a holiday title. Hopefully since they're now explicitly referring to a "pro" this'll put the Aula talk to bed.
I hope they also focus on 1080p/60fps performance patches as I don't have a 4K TV.
Uhh, of Switch games or more like Metroid Prime games? 🤔
