Gee, I wonder why console makers put so much effort into developing specialized hardware that's ahead of the industry.

>>55771365
you mean the SOCs that were years behind the time when the ps4 and xbox came out?

The NX is using a cutting edge chipset from Nvidia... just think, the 3ds was using a 233mhz ARM CPU, the level of performance Nintendo could optimise this for is insane.

I won't be surprised if games look better than their PS4 counterparts.

>I won't be surprised if games look better than their PS4 counterparts.
I'm not a consolefag but did you just seriously compare a ~2,000 GFLOPS iGPU with fast GDDR5 vRAM to a 500 GFLOPS iGPU that uses slow as fuck system RAM and has 500 GFLOPS of gpu power before it starts overheating in seconds and throttles down to ~300 GFLOPS or less?

>>55771309
Nintendo should just make an android phone or accessory control pad for smartphones. It's a really bad idea to continue this concept of handhelds that have no other function except maybe a basic browser. Investors are already disappointed with how little money Nintendo is earning with Pokémon go. I fear it's not going to end well for them.

Also sounds like shit, worst of both worlds, crap graphics when hooked up to a TV and awful battery life/weight. Blunder of the century.

>>55771402
The CPUs were the low end cores meant for netbooks and shit yeah, but they weren't out of date. AMDs low end mobile shit was one of the few areas they could directly compete with Intel.

What were the alternatives? Two separate chips for CPU and GPU would raise costs. Nvidia uses ARM so developer costs would be higher for Sony and Microsoft.

Honestly the only thing I'm surprised is that Nintendo didn't use Tegra on a handheld sooner. RIP backwards compatibility if it's in the NX though.

>>55771309
this might be the first time i won't get a nintendo system, due to that it inherits most likely nvidia internals

i won't never ever support ngreedy in any single way

>>55771630
Actually everything Nintendo releases.

>>55771472
It's not using that

It's using the next-gen Tegra which is gonna be announced in August

16nm, Pascal GPU

>>55771580
Worst girl

>>55771687
It's still going to be barely more powerful than the Wii U was.

>>55771309
>Nvidia Tegra
Bullshit

That would mean incompatibility with basically all former games.

I just want Nintendo to be successful again.

>>55771752
They don't plan on backwards compatibility.

Tegra pascal will be just as shit as all the other tegras have been.

If it's Tegra Parker I'm hyped.

>>55771736
Wii U has ~350 GFlops and 12.80 GB/s Memory Bandwidth, with only 550 MHz frequency, and also only has DDR3. And this is in comparison with that other anon's (or yours) post.

Seeing there will be a new generation of Nvidia Tegra, it will be completely smashing it to the ground.

>>55771799
Tegra is the fastest and most powerful, most full features SoC in the world

STAY MAD, AYYMDPOORFAG

Nothing AYYMD makes can even fit in mobile

Even Intel has retreated from mobile by cancelling Broxton

x86 is finished, ARM is the only relevant thing in mobile

>>55771784
Its 1TFLOP half precision, which is meaningless since literally no one measures theoretical compute throughput this way.
Its only 512FLOPS single precision.

You fell for Nvidia's Jew marketing.

>>55771821
see above

>>55771773
That's a fucking death sentence. kektendo does not have as many fans as it used to, it needs to have as many games as possible for their customers if they want to stay relevant.

>>55771799
This. It's not really nvidiots fault to be honest. There's only so much you can cram in a 10-15W TDP mobile SoC.

Tegra X1 is already 512GFlops/1TFlop FP16

Tegra-Next will easily be double the performance, just shows AYYMDPOORFAGS are clueless, retarded people that loves kissing AYYMD ass all the time

>>55771848
You're retarded, Tegra X1 is 512GFlops/1TFlop FP16

It's already faster than PiiU's AYYMD GPU

It's gonna get smashed by Pascal GPU in the 16nm Tegra

>>55771877
FP16 is not enough for games?
ok
Have fun being delusional my acquaintance.

then explain smartphone threads to me

>>55771926
Smartphones do a lot more than play games though. On Wii U you can browse hentai I guess.

>>55771905
20nm planar process sucks for mobiles, Nintendo will use 16nm FINFET Tegra for better battery life, you too dumb to grasp or understand that, not my problem

>>55771940
I think I am too dumb to understand how what you said has any relevance, yes.

>>55771860
>Tegra-Next will easily be double the performance
It will be 25% improvement at most. And will require passive cooling since it's meant to be in a tablet-like device.

>>55771806
It's not, already leaked it's an X1, Maxwell based, eight core config.

Wii U was totally Nintendo's fault performancewise. They wanted an archaic VLIW5 design based off RV770 tech, let alone RV870 or RV970.

"It is intended for storage (of many floating-point values where higher precision need not be stored), not for performing arithmetic computations."

Yes it is fucking useless and Jewvidya is lying out their teeth as usual.

lol what a p.o.s

>>55772024
Are you stupid or what?

Developer units are not final consumer units

>>55772036
I am pretty positive those 'arithmetic computations' are supposed to be complicated formulas and equations which require double precision, which is what Wikipedia is referring to. A FP16 computational mistake in a game is physically unnoticeable.

>>55772073
You don't develop on a device with a different CPU architecture (bL 4xA57+4xA53 vs 4x Denver 2), with a different core count (4+4 vs 4), with a different GPU architecture, and a different memory technology (DDR4 vs GDDR5)

Tegra 16nm has 4 A57 cores, or do you not fucking READ?

The AMD GPU based on 2008 tech that is 1/5th the power as the 2008 high end AMD chip?

Not surprised desu.

>>55772171
>>55772185
There's two configurations bruv, 4 Denver cores or 2 Denver and 4 A57; keep up with the leaks.

>>55772226
None of it is going to matter, because the NX won't be on store shelves for another few years if they wait for Parker. Maybe they can pull a PS 4.5 but I doubt it.

>>55772280
Thats what I've been saying. NX is X1

so if nvidia's doing the NX who was AMD's client for their third custom design?

>>55772398
My guess is Apple

>>55772506

Yes, they will go from 240p to 1440p, from dual core 266mhz (ARM) to eight core at upper 1.8Ghz (x86).

How does it feel to be so dumb?

>>55772839
I'll go with AMD.

amdfags on suicide watch

>>55771857
Shit like no BC for the NX is why I decided to hack my 3DS and enjoy all games from consoles before it, fuck em, they clearly don't care about their previous consoles going forward

>>55773153
they never have, the only reason the Wii could play Gamecube games was that they used the same architecture, same with Wii and Wii U.
The only reason the original DS could play GBA games was because Nintendo was afraid that nobody would buy it because there were so few games for it. The only reason the 3DS can play DS games is that it uses the same architecture as the original DS.

>>55773232
If the specs are real I'd say the NX will easily be powerful enough to run everything up to the GC, maybe even Wii if it had a means of supporting ridiculous waggle controllers.

>>55773269
Emulated? Easily.
Will Nintendo do it? Likely not. They haven't even released any GBA games for the 3DS virtual console, and no SNES games for the original 3DS virtual console, even though it can emulate both easily, and can even run GBA games natively.

>>55772398
they are making pachinco machines

will it be even more expensive on launch though? because thats why i didnt bother with wii u in the first place. anything over 300 dollars and i wont even consider it

>>55773492
they're gonna sell the handheld part of it for less than 200 and the docking station for another 150
calling it now

>>55773317
The o3ds has nowhere near enough power to emulate GBA games.

The way the 3ds works is there are "2" processors, arm9 and arm11. When in 3ds mode, the home menu and all that are handled by the arm9 processor, and games are run on arm11. In DS mode, the games have to be run on arm9.this is fine for cartridges, because the 3ds just behaves like an original ds. However, for "virtual console" titles, Nintendo adds in extras like savestates and pausing. You can't do any of that while the game is running off of arm9, because the "3ds" part of the system is disabled.

So basically I just went full autism, and the 3ds can't run GBA games on arm 11 and it can't act as a proper 3ds while running games on arm9, so Nintendo decided shit wasn't good enough and limited GBA games to ambassador edition consoles.

>>55772185
>2x Denver

Cute, Nvidia thinks it can into CPUs.

>>55773777
I know how the 3DS works. The 3DS has enough power on it to emulate GBA games, maybe not at all of them, and some of the ones that work may not work at full speed, but it works.

>>55773777
Also there are no "Ambassador Edition" consoles, the only difference between Ambassador consoles and non-Ambassador are the tickets that are installed to the system.

>>55773899
Yeah I know that part. It's just that
>I went full autism
>>55773862
Yeah, no. It totally could run it with some translation layer like how WINE works with Linux, but full emulation won't happen.

Plus the system's nearly dead anyway. I give it like a year max.

>>55773999
>but full emulation won't happen.
it already has happened. there have been GBA emulators for 3DS out for years.

>>55773809
Can't go worse then amd.

>>55774116
Lol, 6 year old shitty Jaguar cores piss on the fanciest ARMshit today.

>>55774060
I think he meant perfect emulators.

This is great though. Instead of wasting money on two Nintendo consoles, we can ride it out this gen with just this hybrid NX.

>All the people believing leaks
The only time they touched Tegra was with a test board they made to see if Tegra would work. Obviously that got nowhere.
