In short they have a half-assed understanding of the specs of gaming consoles, and have been accused of rebellion caused by Nintendo fans on multiple occasions, and they're not exactly a competent digital blogger, which is why I'm disgusted to see people quoting their articles all the time in that thread.
No the stock price started to rise late last year with ahead of new console announcements expectations. That then reversed once the delay became known, and then dropped further after the recent earnings release essentially confirmed no release in the current FY(from the investor perspective). Now the bad news and negative outlook is priced in and people are buying again. I think there's still going to be downward pressure on the stock for a while though.
Seems pretty good. Wattage doesn’t scale linearly with clocks, but even if it would, it’d draw 4 Watt with 500 mhz, which is what‘s expected and since wattage doesn’t scale linearly it probably‘ll be even lower.
Yes, I've been waiting to know what kind of new gameplay is involved with the addition of the three new buttons.
I don't think Nintendo's stock qualifies as "meme"-y enough to really be affected in the same light. This is only really from my understanding of the WSB situation back in Feb 2021, but meme stocks are generally low value stocks where the only real value come from shorting them into the ground but are from recognizable modern companies. While there's a lot of meme factor with people holding Nintendo stocks out of a vested interest in the company (we've seen that a few times), it's not really a similar situation nor do I think they'll be affected by GME and AMC suddenly appearing out of the woodwork again. They're just generally a decent well valued stock that casual participants in stock trading are reasonably into compared to the usual.
And in fact it wouldn't even make sense with a 16Wh battery. My Erista at least fluctuates between 2~3 hours of gameplay until today.
I’m sure a hard mod will happen eventually but Fusée Gelée being so early because the TX1’s security was not the best is a major factor in why Switch homebrew is so good so early. I’d imagine it’ll be a a lot longer until something similar happens for Switch 2
Two months personally, while Nintendo and Nvidia are going to make sure people can't hard mod their successors, there's going to be enough overlap in the code of the OSS for people to be able to Homebrew fairly quickly.
how would it look on SEC8N presumably that totally blows the budget unless they use much lower clocks?
ARM announced the A78 as using 1W for 3GHz on TSMC 5nm. The number could change for gaming workload or for 8 cores in a cluster or whatever they changed to grant that "C".
But assuming it's accurate, even if the OS is clocked lower, that's over 7W. With napkin math with power growing squarely, your power budget would get you ~2.6GHz (OS core underclocked as well).
Keep in mind that OG Switch CPU used ~1.8W, so 5.5W is more than 3x that.
Thraktor did some tests on Orin and calculated it's power consumption for GPU and CPU for 12SM/8CPU. As always, there are caveats, like A78AE instead of A78C, but it's likely the best we will ever get.
My projected launch window for Switch 2
my main 3rd party hope is elden ring I feel like that'd be in the announcement trailer like skyrim was for switch 1 (inshAllah)

It’s Mario Kart tour
I would trade MP4 with 3d Mario. Prime 4 is this holiday imo.
Mario Kart Tour is regarded as Mario Kart 9 especially since many tracks were added to the MK8D DLC
I think the most likely purpose of the three buttons is for the one on the front of the controller to mute the microphone, and for the two on the back disengage the magnetic connection to the screen.
If you mean the system software...
The "magnet" button being separate to the existing "release" button honestly makes no sense at all. The two rear buttons are additional; the "release" button already exists. I think pack paddle style buttons are probably the play we'll see, but I don't discount the possibility of rear trackpads.
I thought Toyota was pushing 2030 for their solid state batteries to be mass produced? Are there other makers as well that have mentioned 2027/2028?
I don't understand this. Why is a node shrink not possible? TSMC 20nm was introduced in Nov 2014, Switch released with TX1 in March 2017 - that's a 2.5 year gap. TSMC 16nm was introduced in Q3 2015, Switch Lite released with TX1 "Mariko" in Q3 2019, 4 year gap.
I think a simple "groups" button on the home screen would be nice, along with moving "All Software" to the leftmost slot (rather than the rightmost). Perhaps these could be two rectangles. A large "All Software" button with a smaller one on top of it for "Groups", together they form one home screen icon square. Juuust to the left of the first icon.
Yet 4N is somehow cheap enough to be used in a Nintendo console? Hello?
Node shrinks are getting harder, more expensive and producing diminishing returns for that huge investment.
Elden Ring could definitely be the big third party game like Skyrim was in the Original teaser.
