Nintendo opting for AMD RDNA on Switch successor

That didn't work for the Wii U. Hardware matters.

dunno what you mean, but amd is once again the best performance for your bucks territory.

>dlss integration
>lol
>as if a handheld is going to cool tensor cores

To put them on better footing to support third-party multiplats from the other consoles that all use AMD.

This is complete speculation based on nothing. I doubt even Nintendo has fully decided on what they're doing for the Switch 2's processor yet.

better CPUs than intel, shittier GPUs than nvidia

Switch came out in 2017 and people always start early development on the new console mid-way through the console life

Because nvidia sucks at supporting these kind of "features". Anyone who has actually tried Physx knows what a steaming pile of shit that was.

the delusion

Switch is 3 years old. You do realize they started working on its successor shortly after the Switch launched, right? It's still in R&D so it won't come out until like 2023 or 2024

The NX was first mentioned in March 2015, 2 years before the Switch launched.

Unironically wish there was any way for them to get the new Apple SOCs.

Switch came out over 3 years ago, Vita turns 9 this year, and 3DS is already 9 user.

engineering cycles are long as fuck, they started the work for the next model even before the switch release. As soon as you validate a model, you start working on the next one.

the DLSS dream is dead

>dlss integration
yeah bro I'm sure the switch successor is going to care about shit like this

Fake news and if Nintendo changes, Switch games will not be compatible

You are not going to get that in a handheld though, magic is not real

switch was just a re-branded old gen Nvidia Shield 2015 +$100
unironically believe all these console manufacturers are going to get buttfucked and spend hundreds of millions more dollars to catch up to Nvidia's recent tech than what they saved on price / performance going with AMD

their AI resolution upscaling and ray tracing methods just blow everything else out of the water

I wonder what a successor would even look like. The Switch is pretty young tho compare to other current console. I feel there is still a wave to be ridden for the Switch.

maybe if they built the hardware with memes it would

>Apple straight up buys Nintendo
>Switch 2 base model is $1,399

Imagine if the Switch had settled for the brand new Tegra instead of being an NVIDIA Shield on steroids. We wouldn't have these Dreamcast-tier resolution fiascos.

Switch is over three years old, this is typically when console makers start planning their next console.

>Hardware matters
No, games matter. With the exception of 8th gen, the weakest consoles almost always sell the most.

The Wii U launched with NSMBU and bunch of shitty $60 third-party ports, it didn't have that must-play game most other Nintendo consoles launch with. The hardware only mattered in that no one wanted the tablet controller, so the console was just unappealing by design. Nintendo thought the tablet would be much more attractive when they started designing it in 2009/2010 when tablets were a huge craze, but by 2012 no one cared. If the Wii U had been on-par with the Xbone hardware-wise it still wouldn't have sold any better, the problem wasn't the console's hardware.

So the stupid tablet controller no one wanted, a lack of compelling games at and after launch and the horribly botched communication from Nintendo leading up to launch are what buried the Wii U. Better GRAFFIX wouldn't have saved it, it was just fucked from the start due to the design decisions Nintendo made.

>manufacturer finds an alternative outside of brute forcing shit.
>switch to even lower version of Chink tier hardware.
fuck Nintendo and their withered technology philosophy.
only time when they get with the "times", everyone is fucked because of it.

Found the brainlet

One of the most crab stocks of all time. Seriously that shit has been sitting between 50-60 for 4 months now.

so whose ready for New Switch and New Switch Lite now with no tokyo driftu

What will the Switch's successor be like?

I assume they won't ditch the hybrid build. It's already part of their business to just have one console now instead.

Nvidia Tegra is way better than any AMD GPU.

The most recent iPad Pro has the same power as a base Xbone on paper. Granted it's $800, but you could probably get that down to $300-$400 in two years.

An actual dock-only, traditional console

A slightly beefed up Switch that can do all thangs

When the end is near they'll shit out a better Switch Lite that can dock to a TV
