How would that compare to other consoles, like the PS4/PS4 Pro?
- Dansvidania 2y agoI would guess much weaker, but IMO the switch's point is not raw performance but rather innovative gameplay and style
- jitl 2y agopc vs cell phone
- mirsadm 2y agoThe iPhone is faster than most PCs
- jitl 2y agobut quite different architectures
- ac29 2y agoMaybe on short duration single threaded CPU benchmarks. But its not true if you are talking about sustained gaming performance compared to an equally priced new PC. Even for $800 (entry level iPhone) a PC will be a much better performer for gaming.
- evujumenuk 2y agoGPU performance should be somewhere between PS4 and PS4 Pro. More memory is a good sign that Nintendo's machine will allow a larger software catalogue than that of the Xbox Series S, where 10 GB has been a severe impediment to porting.
- ErneX 2y agoJust based on teraflops it sits between a PS4 and a PS4 Pro. But teraflops isn’t the whole picture though, it has other modern features like AI upscaling (DLSS) plus others. For a portable it’s pretty nice.
- rjzzleep 2y agoThe biggest problem is the memory bandwidth. PS4 memory bandwidth is 176 GB/s. These specs are quite bad, It's supposed to be Ampere based, so RTX 30 series. It was released in Sep 2020. That's over 4 years ago. Part of the problem with NVIDIA is that they have been milking their architectures. For comparison, the Steamdeck was released in Feb 2022, and RDNA2 was released in Nov 2020. So the architecture gap was 1.5 years for Steamdeck, but 4.5 years for the Switch 2. I guess there might be a chance that they enable DLSS4 for this device, but it's still sad to watch this unfold.
