I remember, it was a Tweet, but I thought we came to the conclusion that the person knew just as much as we did about the new model.
Thanks.
The penultimate quote you highlighted is interesting, it tracks with what Nate and others said but this individual makes it seem like there's been no talk of it for years which immediately makes me think of the Mariko over clock experiments we know Nintendo did.
No. Desktop ram consumes a lot more power. And you'd lose performance trying to stay in the same power window
Then limit the amount of ram used in handheld mode or downclock it. If that's possible.
That's what @ILikeFeet is referring to. In order to get battery life in the place you want it to be, you'd wind up underclocking all your performance wins away. There is a reason that LPDDR exists - it keeps the performance up at lower power usage.
There aren't a lot of A78C benchmarks that I can find, and the ones that I can are all from Snapdragon 8cx, which has (I think) a 6 Big/2 little cluster, which makes the numbers hard to interpret. But my best guess is as much as 50% perf improvement from A78 for single core. The wide variety of cache configurations that are available on the more recent Big cores makes me wonder how much of variation is hidden in what the vendor chooses for cache size.
Apart from this reality which seems obvious on the need to learn the lessons of the launch of the Wii u in terms of software, it seems to me that a year where we will have a new 3D Zelda, and hypothetically the first new Mario for 10 years in 2D, the first Metroid Prime in ages waiting for the 4 even if it's a remaster, or possibly a Pokémon spin off but can only be called very weak in the bubble of an enthusiast forum. It's not the line-up of the century but for an end of life it would a pretty good potential year in the eyes of the general public, in my opinion.

Porting the port xDRetos de llevar Hogwarts Legacy al Switch | Atomix
Platicamos con Jose Villeta, director de Ingeniería de Software de Hogwarts Legacy, y nos reveló cuáles fueron los retos de llevar el juego al Switch.
It seems that the Avalanche developers have been doing interviews and have talked about how they have managed to make a native port to Switch, as it is a more or less technical topic I think it would be of interest.
“The challenges are several. One of them is the graphics, we had to reduce the complexity of the polygons and animations. We had to figure out how to make the effects slower or faster, depending on what we need. Obviously, between the programming, the change of art, they are two different recipes to build the version of the Switch.
The same recipes also apply to the PS4 and Xbox One, the good thing is that if you get to run the game on these consoles, it becomes easier for you to go to the Switch. There are people who don't do that. Going from PS5 directly to Switch is a very big change. We can take everything we've done on the PS4 and Xbox One, and move it to the Switch."

I think it's going to get some kind of expansion, so it's probably going to have post-launch support, including possible improvements for Drake if they match in time.
Having twice the buswidth of RAM is actually quite impressive as it is (coming from Switch). But since the SD has it, it's expected. I wonder if a 256 bit buswidth is possible to fit in a handheld device, and j wonder what the power draw would be
Not gonna lie, but 1.8 tflops is disappointing. I thought we were already there for a few years. Unless they're talking about 8 watts for the whole SOC and not the GPU alone, then I'd say that's pretty damn power efficient. Especially compared to 1050 pascal from 2016 (75 watts TDP).
So in other words.. it's a cross gen game built for xbone/PS4.
I hope the Drake version is a port of the PS4 (or x series s) version and not switch. I don't want a DQ 11 scenario where we get a port of a game with reduced polygons and other effects of weaker hardware, but only just higher resolutions.
Adreno has been on par with Apple's gpus for a while now. so Apple shouldn't be far off aside from the lack of RT, but that's allegedly coming next genI wonder how they compare to Apple though

SK hynix Develops World’s Fastest Mobile DRAM LPDDR5T
SK hynix announced today that it has developed the world’s fastest mobile DRAM ‘LPDDR5T’ and provided sample products to customers.news.skhynix.com
At least not yet. SK Hynix mentioned working with JEDEC to make a proper JEDEC standard out of LPDDR5T.
The source is the same video @Dakhil posted earlier. It's 8W for the SOC, but while running a graphics benchmark, so level of CPU utilization is low. There are also Apple comparisons there.Not gonna lie, but 1.8 tflops is disappointing. I thought we were already there for a few years.

Lovelace has giant cache increases - Infinity Cache sized, if not entirely in design - and still has higher bandwidth than AMD. Orin also used a cache increase over base Ampere, but less than Lovelace. It'll be interesting to see where Drake winds up on both.
GPU clocks can be boosted when docket because it scales well with resolution. Nothing else scales the same way.
So although the Cortex-A715 is at least noticeably more power efficient than the Cortex-A710, the Cortex-A715 is still slightly less power efficient compared to the Cortex-A78 (although the Cortex-A715 has a noticeably higher single core score than the Cortex-A78 at ~1.7 W).
So as ILikeFeet mentioned, it's a loss in perf/watt. Because regular DDR needs more energy to push each bit, so it'll always lose in that regard. (energy per bit-wise, LPDDR should beat GDDR, then GDDR should beat regular DDR)
the problem right now is the input latency that comes with low frame rates. they could definitely do 30>60, just see the cyberpunk rt overdrive trailer
Just to add to that - the latency problem is unsolvable. DLSS 3 requires that you buffer a frame, DLSS 3 always adds a frame's worth of latency. As the original frame rate goes down, the latency added goes up. So 30->60 gives you an extra 33.3ms of latency.
That's yet to happen even for the home consoles. I give it until the PS6 for real time raytracing rendering with proper hardware, that's about as next gen as we can go.
Possibly, but from what we saw of Forza Motorsport for Xbox Series X|S today, maybe it's just a matter of devs optimising for the current consoles.
sorry backtracking a bit. I thought Series S was doing well due to wider availability. I know MS doesn't like to announce hardware sales and haven't done so in a long time. Do you have a source on this claim that they've had the worst Xbox hardware sales since 2005?
That's a racing game, i'm saying real time raytracing for everything. That's definitely PS6's matter.
That wasn't true for the Switch, exactly. It really depends on the game, but Nintendo is going to prioritize low resolutions and 30 FPS as long as it'll run, we're yet to know how many Nintendo franchises will deserve the massive budget to squeeze Drake as well. Zelda and 3D Mario are easy guesses.
what do you think the percentage to see the new Switch in 2023 - 2024 - 2025 ?
DLSS is another question altogether, though. The thing with 1080p in the successor is that you might actually struggle to notice games will be running in 540/720p internally, so... Yes, having to heavily leverage DLSS at first place literally means pushing the system hard for eye candy, which Nintendo has always cared about as much as they say otherwise.
2021: 0.1%
Smash and MK8DX are 1080p, Splatoon is dynamic 1080p.
My MK8DX copy looks blurrier than my 1080p footage on Cemu (same TV), which tells me it's actually 900p (there were articles about it on release). Splatoon is dynamic and uses FSR upscaling on top of it, which looks quite blurry as it's the 1.0 version. Switch is barely running anything at the targets Nintendo intended, I have no reasons to expect Drake to actually run games in native 1080/1440p later down the line. Luckily, DLSS will save us.
I'm going with Digital Foundry's analyses.
Same, but unless the Switch upscaler is crappier than that of a modern PC GPU... Not buying it with my gear, at least. Splatoon 3 was said to use FSR and dynamic sub-1080p on release still, reported to go into the 540s sometimes. Xenoblade 3 is 540p and unstable 30s on docked mode, which is pretty crazy for the "Nintendo performance>fidelity" narrative out there.
