[Digital Foundry] 'Too Big' For Steam Deck? TLOU Part 1, Hogwarts Legacy, Resident Evil 4 + More Tested!

[Nhomnhom]

240p internal res for dead space and tlou...
And people say steam deck is easily beating ps4 ?!

Well, PS4 doesn't even run TLoU Part I.

 

[ethomaz]

Well, PS4 doesn't even run TLoU Part I.

Well you can play TLOU on PS4.
Plus TLOU2.

 

[Satoru]

Plus it will be way smaller than Steam Deck.

For 2024 I hope something better happens and Nintendo can reach at least something around PS4 level with similar Switch size.

They'll do better. We know what the APUZ for it will be.

We don’t know. Maybe it could

 

[Nhomnhom]

We don’t know. Maybe it could

I said it doesn't, I was not especulating if it could.

Really?

 

[Satoru]

Really?

Yes, it leaked almost 2 years ago. Its on the Orin SOC family.

So we have nothing... and that leak was fake btw.
And the guy that leaked tried to say it was cancelled to cover faces

No, it wasn't fake, there's literally an nvidia commit on this



That's more than likely the switch. The only thing we don't know is the degree of customisation, since it could be based on the AGX Orin or the Orin NX. My bet is that this is based on the 8-core Orin NX but downscaled to 8GB ram and with lower clocks for a lower TDP (they don't need to scale back too much).

It won't.
Probably it was the Switch Pro not Switch sucessor but got canned by Nintendo & Nvidia.
Nobody knows what Switch sucessor will use.

 

[Satoru]

It won't but I will not even discuss.

That proves fuck all since the commit is real.

Atlan was cancelled, Thor is not even out yet, Grace is an AI focused SoC. Nintendo has been working on the follow up to the Switch for years, and assuming early access to Orin, they'd have the schematics as soon as late 2018 / 2019.

I'll be here to say "I told you so".

Sure
You continue the same.... I won't even bother to say "I told you so".

Cool

Edit - what do you suggest the SoC will be?

I don't know like I said before... there is nothing that actually can gas a Switch sucessor imo.
I'm waiting what nVidia show what they have in the plans.
I guess it will be in lower process than 5nm from Samsung but who knows.

IMO Switch's sucessor was not launched yet because there is no option for Nintendo... I doubt they didn't want to release it (or at least a Pro model) years before but had to accept to launch an OLED model wihtout APU upgrade.

So basically you have fuck all idea yet you try and argue with basic logic, established leaks, and NVidias own roadmap.

If you think that Nintendo has no option and that nothing can power a successor...

Switch - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_X1
Switch 2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Orin

It's not even a contest, it's got double the cores on a more efficient node, 3x the memory bandwidth, and if you believe in tittyflops, over 3x as many tittyflops on a similar form factor (and probably resolution).

Yeah, nothing.
