Didn't it tuen out that it was literally just the same architecture? Doesn't really mean shit

Source? There's no way nintendo is doing this.

Exactly, same architecture means nothing if it only draws a fraction of the power, eg from a battery and not mains. Not only that, but size and cooling constraints mean with our current tech, it’s impossible to have a small handheld as powerful as current gen consoles

Honestly the biggest barrier is nintendo's policy of making profit on hardware. Microsoft loses $100-$200 per console and the XSX still costs $500. Is nintendo really ready to charge $600 or $700 for their device?

The biggest barrier is that Nvidia has shown no capability to make a CPU that isn't unconditional dogshit for gaming, and the CPU is the Switch's problem.
The only company that's made an ARM CPU remotely interesting is Apple.

Nintendo has sold underpowered hardware for profit since the GC. It’s not just a recent Nvidia/switch issue.

@Alto @Fubarberry @spiderkle @BolexForSoup on the same lever as a PS5??? Dang. You had curiosity but now you have my attention

It's not going to be, it's (from what I've seen) simply the same architecture. It'll probably be what's essentially a very cut down and underpowered (as in literally uses less power) version of it. Still a massive step up from the switch, which was already well outdated when it launched, but it's not going to touch PS5 performance

I want to believe. Will huffing paint help?
BolexForSoup@kbin.social 11 months ago
Can’t hurt!

I’ve either huffed too much paint or not enough, and since I can’t huff less theres only one option left.

I always go by the wisdom of Airplane:
I picked the wrong day to stop huffing paint.
