Think I've given up on this idea. Nintendo seems to be delaying switch 2 release so far that by the time it launches, will it even be competitive?
As for why Nvidia themselves don't build one. It wouldn't surprise me if under console contract ndas with Nintendo they're not allowed to release a chip for portable pc market at least until until a certain period of time.
Even if they did. Handheld windows OS still seems a mess. Don't think valve is interested in working steamOS with tegra anytime soon.
Nvidia seems more interested in launching a SoC for AI laptops first. Probably due to higher cost / bigger margins? But they seem to be taking their sweet time. Maybe they just trying to get it really tight first time.
But they announced that mediatek geforce Chromebook initiative years back and since then haven't heard anything like it's gone vaporware. So not exactly holding my breath anymore for anything until I physically see it.
I agree with your overall sentiment tho. Most of these current x86 handhelds simply suck from a performance per watt standpoint and just not worth it. :/
