Probably around August 2022 at the latest, considering that Bloomberg mentioned that Nintendo planned to start mass production of the OLED model at around July 2021, which was around 5 months before the OLED model's launch, assuming Nintendo still plans to launch the DLSS model* on November 2022 at the latest for holiday 2022.
I don’t really think reading into that as a direct correlation is going to net you anything. It’s just implied.
It's not insignificant. The Switch in handheld can be a bit aggressive with FSR thanks to the screen's size, but even docked you could see a sizeable jump similar to watch was being expected out of Mariko overclock (~40%) there is no true number, as the quality of the visuals are subjective, but Nintendo doesn't always use AA anyways, and FSR is a great AA tech with a performance upgrade and in portable it will save battery life. The big deal with it is that switch games will look strikingly better than they have, any FSR from 720p to 1080p youtube video can show off a decent uplift for some games.
Automotobiles, Robots, AI-Computers, ARM Based Game consoles
It does upscale though and add AA. For the 7inch screen, the benefits would be pretty big, offers more battery life and can bring 540p to 720p on the small screen without noticeable degradation.
Yeah, although BOTW2 could still get pushed to March 2023, so it still falls in that window atm
The non-OLED hybrid will most likely be discontinued very soon.
Switch Lite: 200$
Nintendo are not going to make a $400 console, wake up!
People said the same thing many times
What’s with the exclamation point?
They're selling a Tegra X1 with a 720p OLED display for $350.
Bruh, they’re literally selling a console that is only $50 short of $400 lol.
ORIN is a family of SoCs that are low powered super computers for ML and AI, Automotive, Medical, autonomous machines, workstations, etc.
But the person you folks quoted is correct, they won’t release a 400 dollar product, it’ll be 399.99 which is 1 penny under 400!
Isnt that where dlss comes in? Why would an AI focused architecture be useful for gaming? You make DLSS a core feature of your console.ORIN is a family of SoCs that are low powered super computers for ML and AI, Automotive, Medical, autonomous machines, workstations, etc.
This is the main/primary use for the ORIN family of SoCs.
A game console is not one of those.
That is why, if Dane exists, it is derived from a thing meant for/designed something else. So expect Nikki to come back from spotpass and when you hold the home button on the switch controller she speaks and does AI assistant things.
No but seriously, ORIN isn’t meant for gaming at all, if it exists for Nintendo then it’s moving heaven and earth to make it worth for a gaming console. It’s not quite the same as what the Tegra X1 was which was designed first and foremost for smartphones and tablets, but was repurposed for AI after it bombed and later a game console used it but this was still something meant for low powered phones and tablets. It was pretty poor in the AI part due to poor performance of it, which NV later improved with successors that had better cpu performance and better AI and ML capabilities from other hardware blocks. One of NVidia’s reason for their high value is the AI business they have.
That's the thing. If tensor cores are only going to be primarily used just AI upscaling, then the added cost might not be worth it.
Its not just 4k, its a gpu performance multiplier. Use less power for high resolution visuals, have more power leftover for other applications.
If they are using AI for applications, then it might be something worth looking into, especially if it involves AR.
can help with water physics for one, but so can the RT hardware in theory as it is really good for physics calculations.
Truthfully my expectations/hopes and dreams are just to get an announcement of a Switch Pro/revision/successor/model with updated hardware by March 2023, and go from there.
Yes expectations will be much higher going in, but all Nintendo needs to do is to iterate and give us a stronger Switch.
You think so given the supply of the OLED? Seems like there’d have to be a massive ramp up to hit their forecasts. Anecdotal but I still can’t easily find an OLED in the US.
Here's some interesting tidbits from the Q&A session for Nvidia's Q4 2021 earnings report courtesy of TheStreet.
On this particular quote, the increase in inventory is probably Hopper. That's due to launch soon, and it's unlikely they'd be building inventory for Nintendo unless the new model is to launch in the next few months, which seems extremely unlikely. Supply obligations would also be to TSMC for the 5nm allocation for Hopper and Lovelace, and these are also probably the "major product launches" he's talking about. I'd say Orin is mentioned because it's the only 2022 product they've actually announced.
Nvidia's probably going to also prioritise capacity for TSMC's N5 process node for Grace, alongside Hopper GPUs, and at least high end Lovelace GPUs, since Grace's expected to be available at the beginning of 2023.
Some of the component upgrades in the Switch OLED and its dock seem likely targeted at transitioning away from older chips that are becoming less available. It's also just a very similar product that doesn't seem designed to coexist with the LCD hybrid long term.
That... really seems to be overthinking it. I think the FSR is just a free, computationally cheap solution that they like better than the system's default scaler, so why not start throwing it in?
Hopefully playing A Nintendo game in 4K is a new experience lol

Oh , HAHA
Hmm, the slides first mention foundry customers with Intel 18A, not Intel 3 or 20A. IIRC, when IFS was first mentioned last year, Intel 3 and 20A were the two nodes cited to be offered to foundry customers. Is it a case of plans changed, or a case of 'nothing new to note aside from emphasizing that the nodes themselves are still on track'?
I’m referring to their patents and the mention of running on Tensor core or equivalent technology for ML to have a super sampler. If the successor, not this Dane, goes to something else it can execute the Super sampler but be based off Nintendo’s proprietary MLSS instead of needing DLSS to execute the similar technique.
I think the latter, considering that Intel seems to reiterate Intel 3 being available to Intel Foundry Services (IFS) customers in 2023 during the keynote for the 2022 Intel Investor Meeting.
