What do you think of the article saying that this is a new flagship model? I think at worst, we will see a minor upgrade to 472GFLOPs, and it runs that way when docked too, but I don't see why Nintendo would limit the chip to not run faster when docked, since that is the idea behind the Switch and the timing isn't that far off from PS4 pro, with a 36 month to 33 month, if this device launches November 2019.
Three exclusive games: XC, Binding of Isaac, and Minecraft
A portable only Switch could run on a shrunk Tegra X1 (this could be Mariko) I believe they will still tweak the clocks, as Nintendo is now using dynamic resolutions, so they could give it a 20% increase in performance to 921mhz like in the foxconn leak (without increase the cuda cores, like I believe they would do, as the double everything else) this would give you 472GFLOPs, it would also have the chance to double the memory bandwidth and increase CPU clocks still, this would allow it to handle ports much better than the current Switch. I do believe this is an option, I just don't know why they wouldn't allow it to use a higher clock like the current Switch when docked.
This seems to be a sensible option as well, guess I'll go for it and happily play with my Switch for a whole year. I should be better off next year since I'm finishing uni in a couple of months.
Ummmm.........no. Just, no.
Everyone treats console designs like a fast food order. If Nintendo thought PS5 and Xbnext were coming in 2019, they couldn't wait much longer than that, the end of 2014 saw cross gen for a lot of multiplats titles, that would mean Switch should have a new Switch out before 2021, thing is, without a market share for that switch and only giving 4 years to the current Switch before they would have to abandon it for much stronger hardware. What makes sense is a gradual replacement like phones, every 5 to 6 years, your model is phased out, meaning the switch beyond this pro is in 2022.
And while that might apply to his sources, it doesn't reach everyone, I'll make it pretty obvious that he is wrong in general. Panic Button and other port companies exist because Switch needs special attention for porting, resources and time, enough to employee dozens of developers to bring games to the Switch without a doubt exists.
If you want to PM me I can tell you exactly how I know. And yes...it is insider knowledge. But from the way I see forum users engage with others, I'm decidedly staying anonymous. But I can easily prove my job to you in a PM without giving away my identity.
It's plainly obvious that you are right. IMO
Look at this. And people keep telling me power is a low concern.
These posts, all of them. Are basically nonsense, you ignore any context, discussion and state a couple options without any knowledge. It's boarderline trolling imo.
Referring to someone as "a casual" leaves out that they're people. Call them a "casual gamer" instead.
Too bad we can't play them into tabletop mode. They should update that
