As I predicted when that statement was made, they are probably simply counting all their man-hours that went into Tegra X1, not specifically into Switch.So how did Nvidia spend all those reported man hours designing the chips in this thing ??????
That wasn't Eurogamer lol
That's according to a couple of sources close to Nintendo, who have shared the word via Twitter and Reddit.
Separately, Eurogamer has heard the same thing.
Vita was a leap over PS2, Xbox and Gamecube. A Vita 2 would be over PS3 and 360. This isn't(when undocked).

Separately, Eurogamer has heard the same thing. I was told the release is finally happening - via Wii U Virtual Console - to celebrate Mother 3's 10th anniversary of release in Japan.
Stronger than vita and Wii U.
5.5 times as powerful undocked, 14 times docked.
Edit: assuming it has the exact same innards as a Tegra X1 chip.
Exactly what i said, Nintendo would be targeting Wii U level of graphics and that's why all the games they've shown are almost identical to the Wii U versions.
Digital Foundry is a solid source.
I see a lot of lazy developers utilizing the mobile mode for games and not even bothering with the higher clock speeds of docked mode.
Rock solid...oh yeah that´s right! Brb playing the localized mother 3...
Isn't the iPhone still a 750p screen?
It's a custom chip why are we assuming gflop counts of the standard tx1?
Have you never seen a Nvidia press conference? They're good at hyping things and talking man hours.So how did Nvidia spend all those reported man hours designing the chips in this thing ??????
Laura said she was probably wrong on that. There is no aditional fan in the dock, at least not in the patent for switch.
*giggles* Someone is really salty and on top of that not really paying attention to the Nintendo releases. ;3

It takes 500 man years to downlock a chip didn't you know?
It's probably featuring several customization we don't know what any of them are though. I'm still not convinced its using 256 CUDA cores.
You can spend all kinds of dumb time on making crap.

Have you seen the device unit size? Also it's extremely thin, have a fan inside, probably won't run hot and have space to fit a nice battery, and consume low electricity. It's notable in the way that Nintendo is heading the system.So how did Nvidia spend all those reported man hours designing the chips in this thing ??????
The 3DS was being compared to the Vita in terms of power and look what did better? As with everything the games matter.
Hmmm.Ayup.
This is why I think anything above 300gflops on whatever nvidia part in the thing should be applauded.
If it's above 600gflops? Nintendo isn't fucking around.
We'll see, but even my meager WiiU expectation of a 640gflop gpu was about 500gflops over what they went with. So... expect the worse. This is Nintendo we're talking about.

Wtf is wrong with y'all. 199 is where this needs to be! This is great news. I think it needs to even be lower, honestly. A portable Wii U isn't so bad and this is probably more modern than that.

I hope they do because I can't see myself buying this at $199 with these specs and in Australian that's ~AU$350. Considering I cant get an Xbox One S with games for less than AU$300, Ugh.
Please have G-Sync at least in portable mode please have G-Sync please have G-Sync please have G-Sync please have G-Sync please have G-Sync please have G-Sync please have G-Sync.
And the sources that say the Switch is going to be around XBone power have been right about every single detail of the Switch.
So I'll wait till January to decide if it's too weak or not. Almost everyone in this thread is freaking out about a rumor that probably isn't even true.
People talking about price are not getting it. Clock speed has almost nothing to do with price. The impact it makes on price is much more due to the size of the battery needed, so if anything this could mean we have a smaller battery and a slightly lower price, but just because it is far weaker than we thought doesn't mean it will be cheaper.
The 3ds launched at 250. You expect this thing, with its tech, a dock, and Joycon controller thing to sell for 50 less?
Right.....
Which is annoying enough, but 750p on 4.7" is a far higher pixel per inch ratio than 720p on 6.2"
(also remember viewable area is squared, far larger difference than 6.2-4.7 inches)
Because though the SoC is custom, the GPU architecture will lead to the same Gflop count on paper.
Clock speed x shader cores x 2 operations per core per cycle.
Something is off here, then.
If non-docked mode is running at 307 mhz, and that's supposed to more powerful than Wii-U, then wouldn't docked mode, running at 768 mhz be several times more powerful than Wii-U?
IIRC, Nvidia flops are "stronger" than AMD ones (at least, I remember it appeared as such in several comparisons). Not that this alone makes it on par with One, but still
Wait, I'm even more confused.
Xbone's GPU is 800 mhz, and PS4's is 853 mhz.
I know clock speeds aren't everything, but a custom Nvidia chip at 768 mhz should be pretty close to those consoles performance, shouldn't it?
Makes me curious about 3rd party ports thiugh they were probably never in the cards anyway. As long as 1st party support is amazing the Switch will be worth it for me.
