Thts fine. But this was a rumor way before Nikkei.
They're the first publication to put their reputation at risk by putting a release month though, so there's at least some more meat.

Definitely. And a definitive month is interesting.They're the first publication to put their reputation at risk by putting a release month though, so there's at least some more meat.
Perhaps we'll have more than one non-windows handheld console. It was stupid enough of Sony and Microsoft to leave Nintendo completely alone in that market.
same purchase also works on 4k tv at the highest quality.Throws up Emoji
You are not playing PS5 games like PS5 plays them with that.same purchase also works on 4k tv at the highest quality.
no, I have a deck, laptop with 3060 and desktop with 6700 XT connected to the tv. helldiving for any occasion.You are not playing PS5 games like PS5 plays them with that.
Im interested in Steam Deck 2Steam deck is basically the endgame of portables. Valve should improve distribution. though. I wonder however how much can AMD improve it's offerings for a steam deck 2 in say... 3 years.
The switch 2 might be the most powerful portable for a while.
Ampere will be, what? 5 years old by the time Switch 2 comes out?.. And 7/8 nm as expected. Also, I’m assuming it’s T239 and not T329.
This sounds very Nintendo.

Not too sure about the specs, but if Nintendo is to continue their partnership with Nvidia, they could use something like the Jetson Orin NX APU which is to be released this year, afaik. This would allow them for a machine that could support up to 16GB Ram with an 8-Core CPU and up to 4TFlop GPU (not that that matters much). The TDP is between 10 to 25w on the stock version, which is in the same ballpark as the original switch.
As for additional specs, I think at least 64GB of expandable storage are required, and they should keep the OLED display at 7-inch, but bump it to 1080p. It should have at the very least 8GB of RAM, with 16GB being ideal.
It's imperative to include backwards compatibility - if it can run previous gen games at full 1080p + 1440p in docked mode it would be perfect.
The X1 has a TDP of 15w, the X1+ on the switch uses about half. The Orin scales from 5w all the way up to 60w TDP. The new console is probably a custom 8 core SOC, so we can safely bet it will be powered by the Orin NX 16GB which scales between 10 to 25w. With their customisation they can have it at or below the 10w TDP.
They can also go with the hexacore Orin Nano whose TDP scales between 7 and 15 watts, but my bet is that they'll downclock the 16GB Orin NX and remove half the ram pool, which should lower TDP as well.
My guess for the Switch 2 specs is something of a hybrid between the Orin NX 16GB and the Orin NX 8GB
I could see them going with the Orin NX 8GB configuration with 6 cores, but I don't think that will give them a big enough boost.
- Cortex-A78C [the 78C is used for laptops, I doubt they would go with the 78AE] with 8-cores
- 8GB LPDDR5
- Ampere GPU 1024:8:32
Yeah, honestly I rarely used my Switch at all but I'd rather it be a powerful console but we shall see.I really wish it wasn't a hybrid but with that being said it's the only hybrid that matters to me.
