Battery life, storage capacity and screen technology (all to some extent) are the best things to sacrifice for a new generation model by a long shot. They can (and will) launch models after the fact with prettier screens, more storage and more battery life, but the screen's resolution, SoC and RAMs performance and storage speed will stablish the baseline and possible support for all of your generation.

ziebert, não sei se vc ja pode falar, mas as placas 30 e 20 vão perder desempenho com o transformer?

Sim, ele é um pouco mais pesado, mas a perda deve ser pequena, menos de 5%

I dont know if this is posted allready but moore's law is dead said that he hear from a few developers that the switch 2 will perform like a series s with better raytracing and the cpu isn't holding it much back. He said it will be still 8nm. So the switch 2 can truly handle AAA games.



He will talk about it at 1:38:08

If his sources are right that’s super exciting!
 
I suppose it's basically possible Nintendo just said "fuck it, it's 2025 and it's easy to increase battery for the user via a top USB slot" and let the chip go to work.

They could make a very nice thin profile little case for the Switch 2 that just has two bumps on the backside of each Joycon (thus making the system more comfortable to hold too) with say a 3000 MaH battery on each side and double the battery life through a cheap accessory like that for people who really for whatever reason need to play 3 hours+ a day away from wall power.

You don't have to keep posting the same external battery theory over and over

Ziebert is Geforce PR manager in Brazil.

Ziebert, I don't know if you can already talk about it, but will the 20 and 30 series GPUs lose peeformance with the new transformer model?

Yes, he's a bit more expensive/heavy. But the performance loss should be small, below 5%.

I'm guessing the loss will be greater the fewer tensor cores you're working with. Which is why I'm curious to see how it works on, say, a 2050.

Hmm, so potentially not a large hit for 40 series

We likely won't actually know much about stuff like the node or clocks even with the reveal trailer right?

Node/Processor talk isn't really needed for a mass audience event. It would be more superficial level checklist (design, controls, how games look on screen, etc.)

Nintendo would probably release the spec sheet eventually that would detail it maybe afterwards, depending if they are holding it for another event later in a month or two. May just have to wait until teardowns of the Switch 2 happen.

Switch V1 OC guide recommends 921/998mhz at most WITH undervolting as "safe" limits. 1007mhz number is also not likely a new Switch 1 docked mode clock.

(My believe that it's a Switch 2 GPU clock is slightly higher again).
 
With the Switch 2 being even bigger than the previous OG Switch, I long for the days when Nintendo made small portables. Would Nintendo ever make their own retro handheld? Could they squeeze the Switch down even smaller?

I hope miniaturisation is at the forefront of the next generation Lite, I'd welcome the return of a clamshell design, too, though with touch I understand why they might not want to do that.

Do you think people would be willing to accept a Lite that's actually THICKER than the standard console in order to achieve adequate battery life in an overall smaller footprint? Say the size of the screen alone on the new device?
 
What's the FLOPs estimate for 561 MHz mobile and 1.0073 GHz docked?
I'm also curious if there would be GPU boost clocks in either mode for devs to access.

If 561Mhz is considered the middle ground for portable mode, then wouldn't docked make sense to be double that? If it's the max for portable mode, then the middle ground is even less.

There is literally no basis to discuss battery life since clearly basing it off Orin's calculator is not the right way.

If Orin's calculator was reliable, Nintendo could maybe give us 470mhz with 1h30-2h of battery life or they could downclock it to give us V1 battery life. But they would not give us sub one hour of battery life giving us truly high clocks.

So either Nvidia found a way to make Drake extremely power efficient on 8nm or it is a different node, that we don't even know exactly which one. Either way, we simply don't have enough information to have this debate right now.

But at the rate that the leaks and datamining are going, we will soon be able to get that last piece of the puzzle.
