2 6GB LPDDR5 modules won't cost as much more than 2 4GB modules, specially given economy of scale. For the storage part, 128GB UFS 2.2 is extremely common, with even low-end phones coming with this amount and type of storage.
Focussed, not set!
Ya I know people have written it off and it’s true that it’s likely fake… but it might not be!
Maybe you are right. I just have never seen a mid range phone with more than 10GB of ram.
We had folks 3D printing a mock-up controller based on patents and even staging a photo to be like it was taken from a game development studio just to troll people who were speculating about NX. You really underestimate what folks with too much free-time can do.
You're right. But perhaps mid-range phones aren't the most fair comparison regarding RAM, as Switch had equivalent amount of RAM to 2017 Android flagships. Switch with 12GB or more, specially given next-year flagship phones (S24 series from Samsung, as they're the biggest) will start to have 12GB+ RAM, wouldn't be uncommon. But not only that, you can also look at SteamDeck, which is a device sold at $399 and has 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, the same type which will be used for Switch 2. Not only that, but while Valve uses 4 RAM modules on the SteamDeck, Nintendo will only use 2 RAM Modules. That makes things even cheaper, as with the same amount of modules Valve use for a single SteamDeck, Nintendo will be able to supply/manufacture 2 consoles.
Not underestimating it, like said I think it is well done for what it is, not that it has to be real because of that.
I was thinking about this, but if Nintendo is worried about the swapnote situation and wants to potentially prevent it from happening again, perhaps they can employ some messaging system that only functions with preselected phrases.
That’s what I think my expectations are. Everything struck through is not happening for one reason or another. Underlined will probably happen given time. And, messaging may just be integrated with Discord if that ever becomes a thing.
I mean Dark Souls did more or less that and we still wound up with "try tongue but hole" or whatever.
Basically the gist is that Ampere needs to be well feed with data, otherwise it ends being sub-utilized and stall. More cache means more bandwidth available. But @Alovon11 can explain this more in-depth.
There’s nothing really wrong with Ampere and its cache. i think the conversation is about the comparison of Ampere and it’s caches vs RDNA2 and it’s robust and large cache system.
In fairness, you cannot expect to be successful and not have a legendary meme come out of it. Nintendo cannot avoid this if they want to be successful, if they do they can kiss their business goodbye
Didn't we already get this on the Wii?
will be interesting to see more games that demand ssds on SD
well, phones are literally built different. we moved away from phones having a separate die for ram. now ram is stacked on top of the SoC, so the fabrication of the chip and memory happen at the same time. Drake won't be like this since it has room to spare. it's gonna more resemble a laptop, which can have 10GB of LPDDR5 (not that they do though)
Second Gen GDDR6X as seen in Lovelace has actually been documented to draw half the energy of the original, bringing it more in line with regular GDDR6 in power draw, so power draw really isn't the issue. The reason Nvidia simply doesn't spam more bus-width is due to the fustercluck of engineering that would be implementing a bigger than 384-bit bus on a modern substrate (which I don't really see being a thing until say Blackwell, where it will desperately need whatever bandwidth it can get), hence why we see AD102 with an 384-bit + 96MB L2 config. This of course translated in Lovelace having a smaller memory controller per die (AD103 -> 256-bit, AD104 -> 192-bit, AD106 -> 128-bit) as Nvidia deemed the increase in L2 enough to mitigate bandwidth requirements.
its unfortunate, but i remember a similar kind of circus atmosphere around NX reveal 8 years ago.
Unless they are someone with access to the current Nintendo Switch Dev Kit. Then it is the easiest thing to fake. Literally copying menu item and changing the text. Done in 10 seconds. Not saying there is not a tiny tiny chance, but when you consider that devs of such great games as "Calculator for Nintendo Switch" have access to it, it‘s very possible that it was some random person with a dev kit who dosen‘t give a fuck.
That’s true, I forgot about the space issue and it was staring me right in the face! This also, funnily enough, should reduce the cost of creating the silicon as it doesn’t have to be big or as complex to have say, 512b interface. AMD had a card with 512b interface before and that was a flop…. I think it was the Vega cards, but can’t remember off the top of my head.
That anyway. If it was a real leak then "NX 2" would definitely be visible only to some specific publishers. Or do you really think they would just give it just like this to 1000s of people? Like said, if it was a Switch Publisher/Dev it would have been super easy to fake for them.
Though it would almost impossible to know who it was for Nintendo with how little that screenshot is showing. It could have been some random guy at Micros - Let‘s just say it: It was Phil Spencer.
The last consumer 512-bit card to my recollection was Grenada in the form of GCN2, which itself was a refresh of Tonga. Tonga itself held up pretty well considering how badly time has treated Kepler alongside of the huge 8GB framebuffer (as seen in its later refresh in the form of Grenada), but Kepler is kind of notorious as one of the worst aging architectures in general, soooooooo not really saying much is it?

Actually? Yes!
My Tik Tok gets more views than he does anyway, so that's a small comfort
. What a jackass.
This is the worst written article I have ever read. How did you even find this?if it doesn't arrive soon it will be a failure
Needless to say, the weariness that wakes up now, not the snake but the summer soap opera in which the signing of the French player by Real Madrid has become.
oh that was Other Angst
This is why certain things are never worth sharing. I share select info I have with a select few on here in private, knowing full-well they'll never repeat it elsewhere (plus, they have no YT or outlets to report the info on). What they share with me stays private and if they want to cross-check their own info against mine, we can do so in a professional manner. If either side wanted to share a bit of the info discussed, we discuss what can/should be shared and how it can be conveyed. Otherwise, none is mentioned.
Please don't tell me it's all feet.....My Tik Tok gets more views than he does anyway, so that's a small comfort
I appreciate that. Like I said, I've gone out of my way to avoid topics of conversation here where I didn't have inside info, but it was close enough to a colleague's work that someone might (wrongly) think I did and get them in trouble. So I'm mostly consequence free on that part.
