that’s supposed to be at least as powerful a PS5/XBS.

I think anyone who truly believes that is huffing paint lol

[-] Ketchup@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago

I want to believe. Will huffing paint help?

[-] BolexForSoup@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Can’t hurt! And if it does, just huff some more!

[-] YIj54yALOJxEsY20eU@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I've either huffed too much paint or not enough, and since I can't huff less theres only one option left.

Didn't it tuen out that it was literally just the same architecture? Doesn't really mean shit

[-] Lord_Wunderfrog@lemmy.fmhy.net 10 points 1 year ago

Exactly, same architecture means nothing if it only draws a fraction of the power, eg from a battery and not mains. Not only that, but size and cooling constraints mean with our current tech, it's impossible to have a small handheld as powerful as current gen consoles

Honestly the biggest barrier is nintendo's policy of making profit on hardware. Microsoft loses $100-$200 per console and the XSX still costs $500. Is nintendo really ready to charge $600 or even $700 for a console that matches what was released 3 years ago? 4 probably by launch?

[-] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

The biggest barrier is that Nvidia has shown no capability to make a CPU that isn't unconditional dogshit for gaming, and the CPU is the Switch's problem.

The only company that's made an ARM CPU remotely interesting is Apple.

@Alto @Fubarberry @spiderkle @BolexForSoup on the same lever as a PS5??? Dang. You had curiosity but now you have my attention

[-] Alto@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

It's not going to be, it's (from what I've seen) simply the same architecture. It'll probably be what's essentially a very cut down and underpowered (as in literally uses less power) version of it. Still a massive step up from the switch, which was already well outdated when it launched, but it's not going to touch PS5 performance
