Just an adjustment for accuracy.

The T234 is not an soc, it's a scalable Arch, and covers a range of soc configurations from The Orin AGX, at 12 cpu cores and 2048 Cuda Cores, to the Orin Nano at 4 CPU cores and 1024 Cuda cores.

They also removed the rtx series ray trace cores and have repurposed the die space within the sm to double sized tensor cores, and also have a Deep Learning Acceleratorfor even more ai training tensor acceleration power.

The t239 has 12 SM's, almost undoubtedly on a single 12sm GPC like ad102, to reduce complexity and power draw from a multi gpc arch, cause it's portable.

That means 1536 Cuda cores, 48 Tensor cores, 48 TMUs and 16 ROPs (these two are by far the weakest point of this system, although im not sure how much rops really matter for this system, particularly if its using dlss, but 48 tmus definitely hurts for texture rate) and 12 RT cores.

Not really future proof. Appreciate that's not the Nintendo market, but to wait to 2032 for a Mario in 4k is 10 years too late :)

It will still sell by the truck load though

4K isn't really the "norm" on Xbox Series X and PS5. They are often using upscaling from 1800p, or 4K at 30 FPS.

The bottom line is that gaming is now anchored to what the Xbox Series S with 10 GB of RAM can do through around 2031, because it will take a couple of years for games to actually target the capabilities of a new Xbox or PS6.

If a Switch 2 has most of the performance and RAM of an XSS, then it will do just fine for its entire lifespan. It might even do better than XSS if they equip it with 12 GB of RAM.

Anyone wanting to play Nintendo games in 4K already has a solution: emulators.

This statement in the article is not entirely true 'The graphics component was downclocked to 750 MHz and featured an Ampere-based GA107 chip (desktop GeForce 20-series cards were Turing based; the laptop series advanced to Ampere).'

Most of the laptop 20 series chips were also Turing based, the 2050 is an exception - it was released with Ampere, and is a cut down 3050 with a gimped memory system. Nvidia realized that the MX series chips weren't cutting it since both Intel and AMD iGPUs have offered comparable performance in the last couple of years and released this.

^{Thanks for pointing out. Fixed. (Ed.)}

The Nintendo Switch 2 and Nvidia Tegra T239 chip have come under considerable scrutiny during a rigorous performance projection involving an RTX 2050-powered Dell Vostro being used as a substitute for the Switch successor. Despite the heavy speculation involved, potential Switch 2 gaming performance should satisfy fans waiting for the console.
