>architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Switch is more powerful than what’s inside of PS4/Xbox One and even most PCs What the fucking moron wrote this? Denver 2.0 even if got 1000% improvement, it still is going to be worse than Intel M-Core.
also it's RISC, while PS4/Xbone is CISC, you need to rewrite actual code in some instances for it to work and optimization is crucial, This article was written by a retard.

Most PCs sold today have Atom processors and are sold in China and 3rd world countries.
Reading comprehension is important.
Austin Martin
By retards, for retards. Sup Forums is the audience.
Benjamin Campbell
The m core igpu is super trash though.

It may be correct depending on how you look at it. Take steem stats for example: most PCs use the CPUs integrated graphics. Are RX 480s better? sure, but "most" PCs don't have those and "most" don't have core i7s.
Carter Cook
Memory bandwidth will be the limiting factor if it's just plain LPDDR4.
Colton Sullivan
Shame it doesn't have the power nor will have the userbase to make it worthwhile, no matter how easy it is.
How can you be this deluded given the current generation?
Evan Parker
OP carefully 'edited' the original text to benefit nvidia, it actually says:
>Nvidia confirmed that the architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Nintendo Switch is similar to what’s inside of the Sony and Microsoft consoles as well as most gaming PCs
and it's talking about architecturally, not in terms of performance.
Alexander Scott
>architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Switch is more powerful than what’s inside of PS4/Xbox One and even most PCs lol
Jose Torres
I, too, like videogames.

Nathaniel Davis
It's okay when Apple does it.
Jacob Rodriguez
Is Nintendo the Apple of videogames?
Michael Foster
Even apple doesn't have the audacity to make a screen over 5 inches 720p
Jonathan Martin
Yes
Dominic Rogers
They want to be like Apple but have been failing at it ever since the the WiiU.
The fact that they make fucking iPhone exclusive shit should make that obvious enough.
Charles Russell
If they could convince people they should use it further away from their faces they would.

Yeah, that happened to the guy.
His clearly fake thing turned out to be real even though it's horribly made and doesn't look anything like the real thing/.

Wtf are you talking about?

Steam survey takes into account all the GPUs you have in your PC, including once that are not used for video game rendering.
This mean everyone iGPU is counted as well weather you have dedicated GPU or not.
Noah Sullivan
A bunch of it is scaled completely wrong, stuff like the shoulder buttons being too short, the buttons are scaled wrong and using the wrong font on the buttons, the colours are wrong and the way the bits fit doesn't look the same either.
Jonathan Richardson
>How can you be this deluded given the current generation? Pretty sure the current generation confirms his opinion.
Hunter Torres
>wrong font on buttons are you honestly this fucking autistic?
John Moore
Why wait for handheld Skyrim when this can do it already
>- architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Switch is more powerful than what’s inside of PS4/Xbox One and even most PCs The article says nothing of the sort... All it talks about are similarities, but the WiiU is just as similar to the PS4. XB1 and gaming PCs as the Switch.
In the end it seems like the Switch is basically just a Tegra-based tablet with physical controls as standard. Any talk about similarities to the PS4, XB1 and gaming PCs is just garbage as Nintendo doesn't really take any steps forward in this category. Their move to Tegra-based tablet hardware will probably help porting over tablet games, but not PS4, XB1 and PC titles. Any steps forward in that arena are more or less completely reliant on software.

Gabriel Bennett
How so?
Blake Baker
It's a great improvement by nintendo standarts. Their latest 3DS has lower resolution than a psp from 2005.
Eli Russell
The real question is:
Will there be another 2D Super Mario sidescroller?
Parker Bennett
>That huge thing >Not just a GPD Win
Lower spec but not that far behind in some ways and a hell of a lot more portable.
Landon Hill
This guy's an absolute madman for leaking it.
Isaac Long
Could it look any faker and less shit?
Brody Wilson
Why? Because the last generation lasted an exceptionally long amount of time allowing 3 to 4 years worth of teenaged migration to the 'master race' because their parents simply ran out of presents to buy them?
Portable gaming may be dead, sure, but console gaming is not. The PS4 alone is creeping up to 50 million sales after just 3 years. That's a massive industry.
Now whether console gaming becomes a service with a small box under the TV? That's another matter.
Jace Bennett
Quite easily, yes.
Juan Brooks
Retina is ppi + viewing distance. It all depends on the distance at which they claim you should be viewing it at whether it comes under Retina or not.
Just claim you should be using it further away than an iPhone and you can slap the Retina name on it.
Josiah Jackson
I don't get the butthurt. It's the only shooter released in the past 8 years that's actually good.
Gabriel Roberts
Ah gotcha, cheers
Colton Morales
Atom has nothing on this thing, it has actual R7 GPU.
Jayden Hill
>PS4/Xbone is CISC I don't think you understand how modern x64 CPUs work
John Turner
Do illuminate us all, on how x86_64 is not CISC.
Bentley Hughes
The x86 instruction set remains CISC. This is translated into RISC microcode and executed.
Mason Rivera
Interesting, have any note on when microcode is translated into RISC style?
Last time I checked most of microcode was hardwires and only very complex code was still stored in registry, something RISC is shit at.
Jace Williams
My knowledge isn't that deep. But x86 CPUs haven't been pure CISC since Pentiums came out and possibly even before that.
Nathaniel Hill
dont have a note but my hardware design prof did mention something too last year they practically have a x86 compatible wrapper and internal translate into RISC
Logan Baker
...
Colton Martinez
Translation is done at runtime and you're wondering x86 has always used microcode, hell even Intel's first CPU, the i4004 was a microcode CPU.
One old school optimization technique is to only use a subset of x86 assembly to improve performance by reducing the time spent on binary-to-microcode translation.
Gabriel Ramirez
Don't pay attention to that other guy, he is retarded man. Young people are actually just ignorant and they cant help it. Shit, 10 years ago when I was in the Marines, I was a fking retard.
Nathaniel Butler
Thing is, it is more powerful than most PCs. Probably 80% (which is most past 51%) are sold between the $100-$300 range.
Connor Morales
The hideous bold font on those buttons and the cheap looking plastic of the controller is a dead giveaway.
Lincoln Young
it may come as a surprise to you but shit font and shitty build have been staple of nintendo since day 1
Chase Perez
That would come as a surprise to me, because it isn't true.
Gavin Butler
The controller bits might not be production line models, they could be from months back. The rest looks final though.
Lincoln Lopez
its probably a beta design. I assume it will get some refinements in the coming months before release.
