To be fair, If we count DLSS, i think we'll get closer to a 8-10x GPU performance boost vs original switch. CPU of course will be a generation apart. Bandwidth will be bigger than Wii u --> Switch, which is probably the worst/lowest increase between consoles (only 2x). Hopefully 102 GB/s with Orion cache.
393?
Who is talking about a 2-year revision?
Why does Dane being a revision before a new non-Switch console launching in like 2027-2028 somehow make it a stop-gap? It would still be their primary product for 4-5 years, which is what most of their console gens usually do.
The entire topic has become too toxic for people to feel safe and comfortable reporting on it I think. Outside of some brave souls like Nate.
Xcom runs with an unlocked framerate on the switch?
I was thinking the same thing. Although less unnerving and more just I’m starved for info because I’m so excited for this thing, so I really hope the floodgates open next year.
That is precisely what is still up in the air. The relation between power consumption, base rez and output rez is still a mystery. But going by Nate's comment that is been linked to in the OP, the result is not satisfactory (yet).
Do you have a concrete post to point at? If yes, I would recommend you report the author.
Oh no I'm not talking about this thread, I'm talking about the entire subject overall. So many leaks and reports have been wrong or partially incorrect over time and people are generally just done hearing about it.
I'm stupid. Of course you were talking in general.
A mixture. Has it been worth discussing the topic? Not at all. Sharing info? Not one damn bit. When I see Nikkie and Bloomberg get attacked for their reporting, it becomes clear that the enthusiast community are nothing more than petulant children that have no understanding of the industry or its inner workings, nor are they mature enough to handle a discussion on that matter.
I am sorry that you are confirming what we were thinking. I can only thank you for having had the generosity to quench our thirst for information, even in the face of mockery and bad behaviour from some of us. I have nothing else to say except thank you.
I was very surprised people were seeing proof in that everything was made up when Nintendo came with their denying answer. I mean clearly Bloomberg and others don‘t have the full picture, but that people trust more in a Corporation interested to share as little information as possible anyway than in journalists that are without any visible agenda (at least when we aren’t believing in some conspiracy) is really something.
I do wonder why Bloomberg and Nikkei gets attacked for reporting on a new Switch. I understand there's a subset of users who just aren't read to upgrade yet , I also understand some people are salty with a reporter over at Bloomberg over their reporting on Sony, but there is definately a sense that some people really do not want to see a Switch successor come out, and I can only guess its down to console warring and not wanting attention shifted from their next-gen consoles or more importantly, not wanting Nintendo to release something that can get the same games they want.
Along the line: It isn’t what I want from Nintendo and isn‘t gonna work according to my own truth so it has to be objectively wrong.
I had to check your post history to see if this was sarcasm or not.
I'm very interested in the industry and its inner workings (even though I'll be first to admit I don't understand it per se), so I appreciate the peeks behind the curtain, the info and discussion points.. It's just too damn bad that a percentage of very loud keyboard warriors make it such a colossal headache for you (and the others). And I've seen some of the twitters, I know the word "headache" is a bit of an understatement. I've had to deal in my personal life with people who just decide things are the way they want them to be and if I present opposing evidence or personal experience then I'm a liar. It's exhausting, and I can't imagine what it's like catching that online. Either way, figured I'd take the chance to voice my appreciation for what you do in the face of those twerps.
Nintendo put out the statements they did because the info was hitting too close to home. They had to debunk it for their shareholders. Then Bloomberg countered with dozens of sources and the only counter in return was a single company (the one named) to claim they had no kits, which they had do to since they couldn't publicly confirm possession.
there are japanese blogs that would post that 100%
For those not in the know, WUST stands for "WiiU speculation/specs topic" and refers to an infamous thread on Neogaf in which even the lowest expected specs for the console were not met when said specs were finally revealed.
I mean, who could have predicted Nintendo would fuse 3 Wii cpus together and set the TDP to 33W? hell, even hitting 75W would have made for a much more interesting machine
There’s a Japanese person I’m acquainted with on Twitter and he didn’t trust any of his recent rumors.
People who understand that Nintendo is a TOY COMPANY not a tech company.
Especially after all the money they splashed in R&D expenses the years before. I remember being devastated after the official announcement.
that really doesn't mean anything
PowerPC was a dead arch. IBM would never had done this themselves if Nintendo didn't open the wallet. and the protocol for the tablet, which, IMO was worth it and should have been used somehow in the Switch
What was different back then? Were Bloomberg and other reputable leakers not reporting on the Wii U? Or did they just have incorrect information?
Correction: WAS a toy company. There are now an integrated hardware and software company.
straight up lack of info. the most info I remember was insiders preparing us to be disappointed. that's why we got those low end AMD APU ideas. but even those would have been a better and more cost efficient choice
That’s crazy to think that very few people were trying to get inside info on the successor to the Wii. Was it the same for XB1 and PS4 or was the rumor mill just focused on the HD twins?
I honestly think a big part of it is fanboys who just want Nintendo to have the best selling console of all time or something.
They always were that.
Solid bait. I like it.
Yeah, Nintendo really put retrocompatibility too high on its priority list.
No, posters were making realistic predictions based on the tech available during those years.
Nintendo is a integrated toy hardware and toy software company
