For the record, 1080p at best to 4K/2160p sounds pretty damn big to me, bigger than the jump from 480i (GameCube) to 480p (Wii) to 720p (Wii U) to 1080p at best (Switch). "SD" to "HD" is so vague, but looking at average resolution numbers of actual released first-party titles, this is the first time since the N64 to GameCube that screen resolution has doubled across hardware cycles. It may not get there in absolute raw performance, but I don't consider it relevant whether this achievement is by raw performance or a "trick" performed by hardware acceleration, because weird hardware trickery has been part of hardware development broadly for decades (and will undoubtedly figure into the development of the next consoles from Microsoft and SIE).
And that's without mentioning the CPU gains (from 3 cores usable for games to allegedly 7), how Tensor cores can assist those CPU cores with AI calculations if there's any headroom there after DLSS (both of which
should mean universally-applied and highly effective rollback netcode in future games, for one thing, since you wanted an example of gameplay improvements
@karmitt ), significant ray tracing acceleration for minimized GPU hit on a portable device... it all kinda adds up to one of the biggest performance jumps on Nintendo hardware in 2 decades.
Well, 2 separate SKUs at retail don't sound like a good idea to me, but we'll see how things go.
