Quote from: Dante.F on October 20, 2023, 23:10:33I imagine they think people are stupid enough to think a 5-8w soc will match the performance of modern consoles with hundreds of watts of TDP headroom.

I imagine it will be more powerful than 5-8 watts. It could be between 15 and 45 watts.

Quote from: Fxbit on October 22, 2023, 15:42:24Yes but the "modern" consoles are 4 years old, zen 2 designs. If you compare the current zen 4 with zen 2 you have already 30% better performance and nvidia is going to use ARM that in general is having  better power efficiency.
Moreover in the last 4 years you have much better GPU cores that they can use.

Here's 2 of these people. Yes guys, the new Switch will be a 45W handheld that will use Nvidia's latest and greatest Ada cores instead of the Orin derived chip that was leaked years ago. Totally not a fairytale for the Switch to compete with devices that consume 40x more power and store similarly dated hardware.

I am not sayings that they are not stretching the reality!!! But only in marketing way and not in fairytale way 😉

The nintendo wii had the ATI logo, so I don't see why not.

Nothing weird about this. The Nintendo Gamecube had a NEC ATI logo on it.

Indeed most of these rumors of possible performance surely require a large dump truck of salt!! LOL!

However it is believable that Nvidia might convince Nintendo to put some 'team Green' branding on the box.

What's next? Epic dragons, monsters, and anime waifus on the Switch box?

Honestly, I might be down for that hit of nostalgia.
