I wonder when we're going to see that, though, since Samsung's announced cards only go up to 800 MB/s.
I know it's probably not IN any released product but SD announced Express 9.1 last year
Doubling to 2GB/s
I also joined the forums for the same reason and even though I don't understand most of the tech talk I've always found it interesting. Huge thank you to oldpuck and all the others who sometimes take time out of their day to explain it!Joined the forums to read the hidden content but I'm too dumb to understand it. I only understand this stuff in terms of Gamecubes duct taped together
Capcom just needs to put in the work tbh, and I think they will. After Rise sold like 8 million copies on Switch iirc, they'd be stupid to leave that market out to dry. It won't be an easy port, but the Series S version has to exist, so there's a base version to work off.
They can allocate 2 gigs to the OS and still have 2 more gigs of RAM usable than the Series S. They don't need another 2 gigs to add themes. Unless Nintendo wants to be ultra stingy and give devs like 11 gigs to work with, I'm sure the console will have a bit more personality.
But I think Capcom will aim to replicate MHW/MHR success.
I think they will make it happen. Though the CPU demands of Dragons Dogma 2 do have me concerned that open world RE Engine games might be to much for the Switch 2 to handle.
I've been under the impression that the Switch 2's CPU will at the very least be on par with the Xbox Series' and PS5's CPUs since they're pretty terrible. Not sure if I'm right about that, but I know for a fact their CPUs are bad.
The CPU cores will have slightly higher IPC but will no doubt run at a lower clock speed. I just don't see the Switch 2 matching 8 3.5-3.8Ghz Zen 2 cores.
Question.
It’s most likely gonna be the same with just smaller differences, since the Wii U OS was eating the ram and I think Nintendo doesn’t want that to happen again.
This is exaggerating what the device is, I feel like the plot is being lost (again) and being taken and stretching architectural changes beyond what it should be viewed as. There’s “it’ll have an easier time performing X, Y, Z by 20% or so” and “there’s it’s basically a lot more powerful and does it all in 12W (not including the CPU or RAM)”
I’m confused by this line of thinking, you could A) get an NVMe drive in the system, clock it down significantly and reduce the overall performance or B) you can clock it down slightly and get most of the performance.
If the Wii U’s UI with all its flashiness used up 1GB, 2GB will be plenty for a UI that can be a bit better than basic but also quick.
With the hardware available, it can literally look like this:
(PS4 Pro screenshots)
Obviously Zelda will have a different art style, but yeah it has the potential to look damn good.
hopefully switch next speeds up adoption
Even on 4N you aren’t getting a 12 core GPU outclassing a 36 core GPU that easily, or a newer generation 20 core GPU.
Using "lost plot" to describe a disagreement over something like this is a little extreme. I don't feel comfortable engaging with that rhetoric, sorry.
The presence of LPDDR5X has more folks leaning towards 4N, Thraktor mentions one possible reason.
And from my understanding the higher bandwidth provided by the RAM would serve a 4N system better as you could clock the SoC at higher speeds and avoid a bottleneck. On 8nm you wouldn't opt to clock as high and the higher bandwidth isn't as necessary.
Girl you always do this.
Switch 2 will have enough GPU horsepower to run Monster Hunter Wilds. What we don't know if it will have enough CPU power. We have learned with Dragons Dogma 2 that open world RE Engine games are very hard on the CPU.
Kena reminds me a bit of Zelda as well.
I've got steam. I don't need a ton of useless bells and whistles, I just want themes and a more unique layout beyond the quick menu the Switch has.
I thought the Wii U was 2 GBs, though tbh I didn't much care for the Wii Us UI, as it always looked lifeless imo.
Wii U had 2GBs total. One for games, one for the OS.
... I am often made to feel uncomfortable by you, leading me to disengage, yes.
I definitely agree people should temper their expectations in comparison to the series S, but are you saying docked switch 2 won't even be able to match PS4 Pro just from a raw horsepower perspective?
Looking at the post you quoted, and looking at the post it linked to, and then looking at the post it quoted (confusing enough for you?),
This was quite prescient.So... should the clocks end up such that they nail a balance of both energy and silicon cost efficiency, how are you feeling about the odds of 7500 MT/s LPDDR5X to properly feed the thing?
Not to that kind of detail, no. But in general, we know there's a L and R controller still yes. Tablet, joycons, and all. Magnet on side of each joycon, and 2 magnets on the tablet, one for each side.
When casuals ask me about the Switch 2 I will now refer to it as a "PS5 mini".
Ah, I see, so there is no information about the details of each joycon (like trigger button, A/B/X/Y buttons etc) but rather only information that there will be joycons regardless its specifications?
This is still an optimistic statement, by 9th gen standards, while switch2 has a separate ray tracing core and NVIDIA's custom graphics features, the significant gap in shader count will make switch2 not have enough polygons to compare to 9th gen consoles, and even though it is stretched to a higher resolution via dlss, the resolution is the resolution, it still doesn't change the shaderThe number lags behind resulting in actual visuals that are inferior to 9th gen consoles.
yes, if they attempt to bump up the quality to meet the specs
Most likely. With better hardware developers will no doubt be a more ambitious when it comes to game scope and graphics.
