How many man hours did the nvidia techs burn on reddit to 'customize' the Switch chip. lol
Why are the a53s still in there?

Oh...ok.
I would have gladly taken a 200 dollar switch without joycons or any of the other stuff lol. That would be a no brainer day one.
But do you realize that being between those is actually pretty crazy for a tablet sized device
So a touchscreen?

Sure, 200 dollar box plugged into the tv with a pro controller would work for me.
With Nail for docked mode. Without nail for handheld modeWith or without Nail?
But do you realize that is meaningless for those that won't take advantage of its portability? especially when it's advertised as a home console as well

Because there's more to the price than the processor? It is a tablet after all..
HD rumble bruh
So I guess Nvidia has to confirm where those 5 man centuries of work come in.
???
Because us early adopters will pay for it.
I bet you'll see holiday Switch bundles for $249.
Why?

Nah, it's just cheaper/easier to leave them there.
If there isnt that could make a fairly chunky difference to its CPU power

The Shield is $200 and doesn't come with Joy-Cons or anything else that Nintendo has included with the Switch so I guess the $300 price tag makes some sense.
Yeah why can't Nintendo just force a chip that's not ready for production to exist and for the amount of money that makes it's competitive.Absolutely disgusting. Nintendo really couldn't go for the TX2 to make the Switch not an underpowered piece of trash?
And I'm saying this as a Switch owner. I hope this bombs like the WiiU all over again. Nintendo just can't learn their lesson.
Someone explain this to me in terms of DBZ power levels.

There must be something they could do with them though. Is there any reason the OS couldn't run on them instead of reserving a core (or whatever) of the main CPU?
Not really. The point is they're not 'chunky' when it comes to CPU power.
I'm hard pressed to think Nintendo going with the TX1 instead of the TX2 was a financial decision rather than a timing issue.
Nintendo has generally stuck with the concept of not losing money on hardware sold. Keeping the the cost of the Switch at $300, while maintaining profitability, probably influenced the selection of the TX1. I think Nintendo wanting a fast turnaround on the switch pushed them to go with Nvidia for a chip.
To be fair, it does come with two controllers (IR and standard controller).
A better thing to point to is the screen, internal battery, and the larger internal memory.

Based on the Dragon Ball console power level chart I made, XB1 is Cell Games SSJ1 Gohan, PS4 is Perfect Cell, and Switch is Super Vegeta (aka ultra SSJ)
Looks like it. :0So , i have 2 switch in my home with my Nvidia Shield TV .
I was more thinking of offloading the OS from one of the a57 cores meaning 33% more CPU for games but seems they cant be used

It's the same story with a lot of things "why did they not use the latest X or Y" it's because they saved money going with the slightly older chipset, ouya did the same thing going with an OC tegra 3 instead of the current at the time newer tegra 4.
Also remember that the Switch is not using the full power of the X1 for what ever reasons, heat, battery, customization? either way the switch could push more if allowed.
I'm happy that we have a X1 portable, I always wanted a shield tv because of how powerful they can be but then nintendo came along.

Ehh... I would feel the same. Nvidia said themselves its a customized Tegra, which is not the case and this is revealed after launch day so some people didn't even knew what they bought. This is misleading advertising. It is no joke. My question: How can you NOT be outrageous about this?!
You folks know that the Tegra X2 isn't so much "more powerful" as it is "differently focused on automotive workloads", right?
