In fp32 this is still over 50% faster than wii u, that isn't including features like checkerboard rendering or fp16 that should put it around 2.5times when taken advantage of.
When docked it is about 4 times faster than wii u, and with the above features mentioned put it over 6times faster. The only real worry to me is the cpu, it is capable of ports but there will be some trimming required in places.
One thing to realize about this design though is that technically the thing is capable of running the docked clocks on the go, all of the cooling is inside the tablet and even docked, it is conservative with clocks. Battery life is the only thing stopping them from doing this but it might only be the difference of a watt, which could mean that like the psp, we see an increase later on. Personally I think 400mhz when portable is perfect.
These are all estimates BTW, because it's all on an average, but it is conservative, it should be slightly greater than this.
Thanks. How much of a performance difference from VLIW to GCN have you experienced?
GCN GPUs with 128gflops can roughly match wii u, so xb1 is 10times faster as hard as that might be to accept, it does mean that switch docked is 40% of xb1's performance in fp32 without the added features and between 60 and 70 percent of xb1 with said features (at best)
