The leak was just a few weeks ago and investigations might take time. Patience is key
Thats not true, what happend is that ppl stop making IR patches because almost nobody has a homebrew mariko switches, thats why ReverseNX is more than enough for Erista switches. But there are some resolution patches and also they are posible to make with some knowlage.
Nope. Even though it would be completely baffling to us with that gpu size, maybe they found a way to make 8 nm work with 12 sm. Everything about node is speculation.Interesting, but are we totally sure that Nvidia will use this node for next switch? that will be awesome
Nobody's totally sure. But I do think there's a non-zero chance any process node from TSMC's N5 process node family, including TSMC's 4N process node, could be used. And I do think TSMC's N6 process node can't be discounted as an option as well.Interesting, but are we totally sure that Nvidia will use this node for next switch? that will be awesome
why, you won't get this performance without physically modifying your system
Nintendo doesn't care about the tech enthusiast market
Every Switch sold since 2019 can do what the OLED does, possibly even lites.
There’s no technical reason in the sense that it is limited, you can only conclude: they just didn’t think it was worth it or they didn’t want to do it on that device.
This has nothing to do with the tech enthusiast market.
When Nintendo introduced the Mariko SoC, they made an explicit choice not to segment it at all from Erista Switches. Why they made this decision is unknown, but it likely comes down to them either somehow not being satisfied with the chip's performance or having some different ideas about where they wanted to go with their product strategy. There is some highly circumstantial evidence that the Mariko hybrid may not have been their first choice, but even that's a little shaky.
A bit more work maybe, I doubt Nightmare. Every game that uses dynamic res would take care of themselves, as they do on home-brewed switches.
How dare you make sense!The leak was just a few weeks ago and investigations might take time. Patience is key
This doesn’t apply to Mariko though, that’s what we are referring to.
I’m not so sure, i feel like if they intended it they would have also offered more RAM like say 6GB.
If Nintendo was going to boost Mariko's clocks, they would have done so back when they originally introduced it. It's much too messy to do anything like that now that the systems are out there with insufficient differentiation between Erista and Mariko.
Indeed,
There is alot of little details in the config file, here I post the diferences in a pastebin link so you can interprate the diferences.
Another profile means a lot more QA and potential bugs to fix and create expectations about optimization for the profile, in other words, it cost them (and 3rd parties) money. They probably concluded it wouldn't make enough extra money to compensate that.
Ofcourse they wouldn't have a mode like that unless they were sure the hardware could handle it, but I don't think Sony lost any marketing power by giving the ps4 pro a toggle with a warning.
One possibility that's crossed my mind is that regular LPDDR4 may have stopped being produced either in 2019 or not too long later. The reason that I have that idea is that in the present, the only LPDDR4 that Samsung and Micron list in their catalogs are actually 4X, going by their speeds. So clearly at some point in the past, regular 4 stopped being offered. Tricky part is that I don't have the wayback machine skills to determine when.
That one time someone asked a non-question of "I only have Nintendo stocks because they share my birth month and I don't understand video games" really got a good chuckle out of me
It's not that the toggle itself loses them marketing power, it's them not QAing, fixing and optimizing their games for the new profile which does.
The ps4 pro was new hardware with devs expected to optimize their games for 4k panels using checkerboard and other techniques.
It’s more of waiting for their hardware forecast to shed some light on whether a new Switch model will release this fiscal year. I think that’s the closest we’ll get to official ‘news’ in May.
Nintendo won’t confirm or deny hardware in such a meeting.
"We are about halfway through the Switch's lifespan and have nothing to say regarding new hardware at this time."
Do we happen to know when LPDDR4X will reach EoL?
It doesn't means that it can't happen. Here's a game which crashes with clock increase, for example. There are other issues that enthusiasts may ignore like getting too hot or too loud or small glitches.
It's not about being too much work, it's about the returns.
That would just be classic
As far as I'm aware, nope.
