I know you just said you'll be sharing more soon so if this is stuff you'd rather share later I understand, but:
You mean tomorrow
These words are very clear, and I understand what they say, I’m saying for you to be for real with me right now. Like be so for real with me right now.
The confusing bit here is that there is some information out there suggesting that Drake itself is currently being produced.
So are you saying that Nintendo was planning on releasing a budget Switch alternative using Mariko (or a tweaked variation) alongside Drake?
I so badly want to believe that this year will end on a W, but maybe the sake of my sanity I cut my losses in expecting better for the NSOYou mean tomorrow
We were discussing the Drake powered Switch, you chimed in with "the heavy news I was talking about is the revision is shelved". Nobody here was speculating in earnest about a revision that isn't Drake. In future, I would appreciate it if you clarified things up front. Clearly you've come across as obtuse to some people here, and it's caused some upset. I know that wasn't your intent, of course.
It's better than untrue, it's not news about Drake at all.
Revision is dead; Drake is only going to be marketed as a successor(?)
this would be a clever way to offset the development costs associated with the delay
This is an exceptionally... Exceptional time to be arriving here.
Nate just said it wasn't the Drake Switch that was shelved, so I doubt that's relevant personally.
how come you have so much money with no posts??? did you put it in the bank, get interest, and now pull some back out?
That's what we've been trying to find answers for, haha.
I'm not sure how much offsetting it would do since it's not a high volume product.
I've probably said this countless times before but I am for real so fucking over leaks
Now I realise I'm not innocent when it comes to getting emotional here, but please calm down. There seems to have been some sort of miscommunication along the way, best we don't get too worked up over it. The bottom line is the Drake isn't the device that got shelved, and evidence suggests it has entered production. This doesn't change our timeline.
Same
I Just read this thread daily. I guess the interest rate is good LOL
While I'm not...quite as intense about this, I'm just moreso confused and feel something got mixed up in communication or is missing about this.
That much is obvious at this point in time, like come on now it’s going to be six years old in March, who does the revision at age 6 for an aging and (slowly) dying platform?
I already told him that I apologize for being confrontational, but this is absolute making zero sense and I’d like a clarification because otherwise, we’re just gonna be like a bunch of birds on a train track, waiting for the train to hit us because the conductor told us there’s food there.
Bummed about what? A revision we knew nothing about no longer being released? Things have been pretty explicit that whatever got delayed isn't the Drake Switch we've been talking about.
specifically, they weren't happy with the battery life with RT enabled.So I'm not knowledgeable about hardware stuff but I am a hell of a lurker and I'm starting to wonder..
IIRC Nate said a ways back that Nintendo wasn't happy with the battery life of the new hardware, and that was during the time we were still using the Dane name. Then the Nvidia leak showed off Drake, which was far stronger hardware than we expected (especially the higher SM count), and IIRC Dane's name was somewhere in the leak (suggesting it might've existed) but Drake was definitely what they're building for Nintendo now. And now DF says there was a refresh model that was canned.
Is it possible that Dane was going to be the new model, but being dissatisfied with the power to battery ratio Nintendo and Nvidia ditched it for a more advanced node with a higher SM count and that's the Drake?
Sorry if I'm a bit over my head here.
Revision/ successor call it whatever you want to call it. The 2023 dlls hardware is shelved/ delayed. And that's perfectly understandable to be bummed about.
That's not what he said though. He at the very least has heavily implied that this shelved revision was not using Drake.
I understand your frustration. As I said I think he's been obtuse, or misinterpreted us. Either way, it doesn't seem to be anything that has a baring on the release schedule of the Nintendo Switch with Drake processor.
That isn't what he said. Some sort of device in 2023, not the Drake one, was shelved. Nobody has said the Drake device has been shelved.
Er, no. Again, Nate nor John are saying Drake, the chip we know exists physically which is explicitly tied to Nintendo, has been cancelled or shelved.
Bro what did this even MEAN:
HELLO???
Many argued that Drake specifically being cancelled was unlikely due to the extent of work done on the chip. Otherwise a lot of us acknowledged that some other product, like Mariko Pro, could have been planned and cancelled.
But that isn't what he said. Nor what they said.
No, that's not what he's saying (What he saying makes not much sense as some others and I are pointing out)
Information changes over time. This isn't that confusing.Bro what did this even MEAN:
Like hello??? Uhm????
Again, I apologize, but like…. ??????
In the same way a nuclear reactor is active when it's melting down.Well at least this thread is active
