These are speed holes, They make the console go faster.
Whatcha doing to your XBox neighboreeno?

Can someone please explain this gif to me, perhaps it's because English is not my native language but I don't get it
Yeah, the GFLOPS numbers doesn't make any sense.800 Gflops sounds like what a Pascal Tegra would be capable of reaching at maximum performance.
But the clocks shown in that picture don't make too much sense.
GPU at 275Mhz => 375 GFLOPS and at 1005Mhz => 875 GFLOPS?
How would this calculation work?
Enough for what

Not sure if anyone else has pointed this out, but the re-translated Foxconn leak said this:
Now, take a look at the heatsink, fan, and fins:
In addition to everything else the Foxconn leak had correct, I just can't see any way that this observation in particular was a wild guess. I'm now fully convinced that the Foxconn leak was 100% correct, which means we're currently looking at a Pascal chip X1 chip, likely using 4 A72 cores, and will be seeing a more powerful dock for 4K gaming later on.
So in the last day in this thread the very best from switch (based on it's form factor) that I said I could realistic expect hardwarewise has all been hinted at.
6GB of RAM
128bit bus
800 gflops single precision.
None of it is probably true however outside of maybe the bus. We'll see.
If this is really the July dev kit, none of this is true.So in the last day in this thread the very best from switch (based on it's form factor) that I said I could realistic expect hardwarewise has all been hinted at.

The constant attempts at talking it up beyond this is spectacularly amusing though, why the need to inflate into fanfiction what are already good specs for a portable mystify me.

So does that battery size mean there was no way they could have made it charge faster? Or could there be a Switch revision with fast charge down the line?
Didn't Nintendo themselfes told us we get 4GB of Ram? And I thought we will end with about 400 gflops?
Okay so now can someone summarize what, if anything, we've learned from these pictures?
Nothing, right?
I saw Thraktor's post but I don't speak technese.
It's all about the letter L today. But discussion has been rather lacking.
Fantasy, it's going to be 4GB, 64bit bus and gflops pretty much close to DF's reported clocks.

Are you honestly basing your theory on already proven old information? e.g. DF info is based on the not July devkit.
Eurogamer said:Documentation supplied to developers along with the table above ends with this stark message: "The information in this table is the final specification for the combinations of performance configurations and performance modes that applications will be able to use at launch."
if it was cpu limited then running at 1080p would not make the frame rate worse - and as mentioned, running at 30fps flawless in portable mode suggests gpu limitation as eurogamer reported that the cpu runs at full clocks while in portable mode.
The resolution limitation suggests a GPU bottleneck rather than a CPU one.
But don't higher resolutions work the CPU harder? I've gotten better framerates on my PC in modern engines by lowering the rendering resolution even though the game wasn't GPU limited.

I think that's more on memory bandwidth... which is increased in docked mode according to reports.
I guess if the CPU is doing stuff directly with framebuffers that could have an effect, but that should really be done on the GPU in modern games.
The two aren't completely orthogonal, but the impact of resolution on the CPU is much smaller than that of the GPU.
And a great detective.
Definitely explains the resolution and frame rate differences between PS4 and Xbone for multi plat ports, despite Xbone having a slightly stronger CPU. That being said, the PS4 the lead multiplat console and the other consoles are just ports..The two aren't completely orthogonal, but the impact of resolution on the CPU is much smaller than that of the GPU.
Also limitations on USB type c not supporting turbo/quick chargeBig batteries like this do take longer to charge
800 GFLOPs would have this thing nipping at the heels of XBox One. Numbers are off math wise too, going to say team fake on that one. Nothing we've seen indicates that to be the case. 4-500 GFLOPs docked jives with the software we've seen so far. And that's in no way a bad thing.
There is... But nowhere near efficient in production due to the way it is made.Makes me realize that we really, really need innovations in batteries to reduce that size. Imagine what would be possible with some other kind of battery that could pack the same juice at even 75% of the size (and 0% the explosiveness).
This very well could the production prototype the FCC received in August.
The question is: if any of the specifications changed in the final revision, wouldn't they needed to resubmit for final approval? Dunno how the FCC works.
Well, that degenerate quickly..
The more i read these threads, the more I think that the Switch will be even more powerful than a ps4 pro! The Switch is not even out and people are already talking about the Switch Pro in the other thread...
I'll be happy as long as the Switch has good games and can run Zelda without framedrops...
Real of fake? You decide:

4 sm = 128 x 4 = 512 cuda core maybe

Look. One can complain about the battery even if it's the best they can possibly do. Yes, they can. To take it to extremes, if they made a console that was 12TF in portable mode with a 3D 4K screen and 4G LTE at the same size as the Switch, and then by some miracle they got it to last 15 minutes on a charge, that would be insane, sure. But it would still be worthless as a handheld because what the fuck are you going to do in 15 minutes?Everyone complaining about the battery time and I'm just here being impressed that they were even able to get 2.5-6 hours for it.
I thought each SM had 64 cuda cores. 4 SM = 256 cuda cores.
Nvidia won't have 512 cuda cores in a mobile chip until Xavier, which is still roughly a year away from production (Nvidia said Xavier would be sampling at the end of the year).
Where do you see number of SMs?

I'm wondering something, do these kind of tests include also CPU GFLOPs ? They typically don't count for much but it would fuck up the math for just GPU.
We're slowly encroaching on a new hardware fanfic thread
