(SciresM) Switch revision "Aula" has been datamined from the Switch firmware - 4K support, OLED screen, potentially a new dock for added power

Come on..lol
You are not getting a 4K screen a Switch revision.
OLED screen for a Premium Switch is something i could see.
The other Mariko stuff is too general and could be said about the 2019 Switch - i doubt if they were using a new SoC that it would be mentioned in the fw already.
OLED screen? Yes please.
The screen on the Switch isn't awful. But having the LG C9 has really spoiled me on any screen that's not an OLED.

It's not 4Chan though, the source is SciresM, probably the most known hacker/reverse-engineer person from the scene.
That "4k multimedia" realtek chip could also just mean 4k multimedia (Netflix) playback/output on TV, not necessarily ingame resolution.
Way too vague information to make any claim in either direction.
how do we even know if it was actually SciresM and not someone else?
He made those posts on 4chan using his tripcode, that you can find on his twitter profile.
Fair enough, but how far could an overclocked Mariko go in terms of a performance jump compared to the existing versions of the Switch (I'm genuinely asking here)?

The linked posts have his tripcode. Tripcodes can be faked in screenshots but the link is there for you to see the tripcode for yourself.
If it's Mariko the 4K chip would be used for 4K video and maybe an AI upscaler for games
A Pro model is a Pro model, not a new Hw that would even create issues to the existing one
Better screen, battery and resolution in portable, better resolution docked is what reasonable people should expect
As for DSi or New 3DS
Why would it be unlikely?
Why would he post this information on 4chan and not on Twitter?
Chip being 4K capable =/= Console having 4K screens / being ready for 4K gaming. They're just assuming.
I still have my doubts that a Switch Pro is even real. We've been through this song and dance before. Remember everyone being so sure of it in 2019? And then it just turned out to be the original Switch, but with a better battery?
Joking? An oled screen would be massive. I've always thought Nintendo would never do it due to burn in risks. The mere fact a Switch pro exists would also be "big if true"
It's kinda sad but I'd probably buy a current Switch with an OLED as its only new feature

Yeah, the 4K chip is probably for streaming apps like YouTube & (if it comes to the Switch at some point) Netflix.
I don't really have much of an issue with any of the Switch hardware currently, only that I wish docked performance was a bit better and I wish they'd target maybe a more premium segment of the market… thinner bezels, thinner device (not uncomfortable thin though), metal enclosure, OLED display, larger screen to body ratio, more built in storage, bluetooth audio support etc.
I don't love how the joy cons can flex a bit when attached– I wish the unit itself felt more solid (similar to how the Light feels) when the joy cons are attached.

TSMC 20nm->16FF+ is claimed to be -60% power@iso-perf. If I calculate it right, that power saving can be converted into raising clock rate by ~30%.
(naturally, the reason that the 2019 Switch has better battery life is that those power savings stayed as power savings. So, a model that clocks up Mariko wipes out 2019's battery life gains)
Because he lurks the homebrew general, regardless of where he posts the info on 4chan or twitter or reddit or where ever the fuck, SciresM KNOWS his shit
Not to mention, he keeps his twitter related to Atmosphere and the occasional Pokemon
I think that's what most people who know Nintendo's hardware history (and have been disappointed several times before) have been expecting. Nintendo love to push battery life first and foremost when it comes to handheld systems too.
The big next gen Switch leap with a brand new SoC including DLSS support will be late 2023 / Spring 2024 imo.
There's absolutely no reason that an updated console couldn't output in 4k and HDR even if the internals aren't powerful enough to render games at that.
People expecting something like Orin (When it's a SoC for AI and self-driving), or a new architecture were just overexpecting stuff. It was always going to be a Maxwell refresh, and that counts out DLSS and most of the stuff people were expecting. You won't get this stuff until the next-generation console Nintendo releases, and god knows if they'll keep working with Nvidia.
ironically that actually makes it more believable to me.
I'm of the opinion that the screen gets a replacement in terms of quality but not necessarily in terms of resolution (could go to 1080p though if they want, but focus is more on colours and contrast etc) but 4K functionality is going to be reserved for output from a new dock.
Then you can re-use the existing perf profiles, but with the old docked modes being used for 1080p on new Switch's portable mode, plus a new profile for 4K and HDR while docked.

Well he's commenting on potential chip specs so would have no way of ascertaining screen size
