THANK YOU BASED NVIDIA

Who fucking cares.

TL;DR - consoles continue to lose relevance

What the fucking moron wrote this?
Denver 2.0 even if got 1000% improvement, it still is going to be worse than Intel M-Core.

also it's RISC, while PS4/Xbone is CISC, you need to rewrite actual code in some instances for it to work and optimization is crucial, This article was written by a retard.

Most PCs sold today have Atom processors and are sold in China and 3rd world countries.

Reading comprehension is important.

By retards, for retards. /g/ is the audience.

The m core igpu is super trash though.

We /Esports/ now

>>57550844
It may be correct depending on how you look at it. Take steem stats for example: most PCs use the CPUs integrated graphics. Are RX 480s better? sure, but "most" PCs don't have those and "most" don't have core i7s.

Memory bandwidth will be the limiting factor if it's just plain LPDDR4.

>>57550711
Shame it doesn't have the power nor will have the userbase to make it worthwhile, no matter how easy it is.

>>57550820
How can you be this deluded given the current generation?

>>57550844
OP carefully 'edited' the original text to benefit nvidia, it actually says:

>Nvidia confirmed that the architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Nintendo Switch is similar to what’s inside of the Sony and Microsoft consoles as well as most gaming PCs

and it's talking about architecturally, not in terms of performance.

>>57550711
>architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Switch is more powerful than what’s inside of PS4/Xbox One and even most PCs
lol

I, too, like videogames.

>6.3" 720 display

>720p

>>57551096
It's okay when Apple does it.

>>57551125
Is Nintendo the Apple of videogames?

>>57551125
Even apple doesn't have the audacity to make a screen over 5 inches 720p

>>57551145
Yes

>>57551145
They want to be like Apple but have been failing at it ever since the the WiiU.

The fact that they make fucking iPhone exclusive shit should make that obvious enough.

>>57551160
If they could convince people they should use it further away from their faces they would.

>give nigger preview console and tell him not to show it

nigs gon nig

>>57551240
Yeah, that happened to the guy.

His clearly fake thing turned out to be real even though it's horribly made and doesn't look anything like the real thing/.

Wtf are you talking about?

>>57550893
Steam survey takes into account all the GPUs you have in your PC, including once that are not used for video game rendering.

This mean everyone iGPU is counted as well weather you have dedicated GPU or not.

>>57551337
A bunch of it is scaled completely wrong, stuff like the shoulder buttons being too short, the buttons are scaled wrong and using the wrong font on the buttons, the colours are wrong and the way the bits fit doesn't look the same either.

>>57551030
>How can you be this deluded given the current generation?
Pretty sure the current generation confirms his opinion.

>>57551362
>wrong font on buttons
are you honestly this fucking autistic?

Why wait for handheld Skyrim when this can do it already

No, they just look nothing alike, whatsoever.

>>57550711
>- architecture of the Tegra chip powering the Switch is more powerful than what’s inside of PS4/Xbox One and even most PCs
The article says nothing of the sort... All it talks about are similarities, but the WiiU is just as similar to the PS4. XB1 and gaming PCs as the Switch.

In the end it seems like the Switch is basically just a Tegra-based tablet with physical controls as standard. Any talk about similarities to the PS4, XB1 and gaming PCs is just garbage as Nintendo doesn't really take any steps forward in this category. Their move to Tegra-based tablet hardware will probably help porting over tablet games, but not PS4, XB1 and PC titles. Any steps forward in that arena are more or less completely reliant on software.

>obvious giveaway of a fake
>HURR AUTIST WHO LOOKS AT THE BUTTONS NERD FUCK YOU XD

>>57551207
How so?

>>57551096
It's a great improvement by nintendo standarts. Their latest 3DS has lower resolution than a psp from 2005.

The real question is:

Will there be another 2D Super Mario sidescroller?

>>57551379
>That huge thing
>Not just a GPD Win

Lower spec but not that far behind in some ways and a hell of a lot more portable.

This guy's an absolute madman for leaking it.

>>57551452
Could it look any faker and less shit?

>>57551365
Why? Because the last generation lasted an exceptionally long amount of time allowing 3 to 4 years worth of teenaged migration to the 'master race' because their parents simply ran out of presents to buy them?

Portable gaming may be dead, sure, but console gaming is not. The PS4 alone is creeping up to 50 million sales after just 3 years. That's a massive industry.

Now whether console gaming becomes a service with a small box under the TV? That's another matter.

>>57551459
Quite easily, yes.

>>57551414
Retina is ppi + viewing distance. It all depends on the distance at which they claim you should be viewing it at whether it comes under Retina or not.

Just claim you should be using it further away than an iPhone and you can slap the Retina name on it.

>>57550891
I don't get the butthurt. It's the only shooter released in the past 8 years that's actually good.

>>57551567
Ah gotcha, cheers

>>57551432
Atom has nothing on this thing, it has actual R7 GPU.

>>57550844
>PS4/Xbone is CISC
I don't think you understand how modern x64 CPUs work

>>57551630
Do illuminate us all, on how x86_64 is not CISC.

>>57551640
The x86 instruction set remains CISC.
This is translated into RISC microcode and executed.

>>57551686
Interesting, have any note on when microcode is translated into RISC style?

Last time I checked most of microcode was hardwires and only very complex code was still stored in registry, something RISC is shit at.

>>57551737
My knowledge isn't that deep. But x86 CPUs haven't been pure CISC since Pentiums came out and possibly even before that.

>>57551737
dont have a note but my hardware design prof did mention something too last year
they practically have a x86 compatible wrapper and internal translate into RISC

>>57550820
>>>/v/

>>57551737
Translation is done at runtime and you're wondering x86 has always used microcode, hell even Intel's first CPU, the i4004 was a microcode CPU.

One old school optimization technique is to only use a subset of x86 assembly to improve performance by reducing the time spent on binary-to-microcode translation.

>>57551463
Don't pay attention to that other guy, he is retarded man. Young people are actually just ignorant and they cant help it. Shit, 10 years ago when I was in the Marines, I was a fking retard.

>>57550844
Thing is, it is more powerful than most PCs. Probably 80% (which is most past 51%) are sold between the $100-$300 range.

The hideous bold font on those buttons and the cheap looking plastic of the controller is a dead giveaway.

>>57553729
it may come as a surprise to you but shit font and shitty build have been staple of nintendo since day 1

>>57553931
That would come as a surprise to me, because it isn't true.

>>57553729
The controller bits might not be production line models, they could be from months back. The rest looks final though.

>>57551362
its probably a beta design. I assume it will get some refinements in the coming months before release.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-11-17-the-3d-printed-nintendo-switch-is-a-brilliant-fake

It's a 3D printed fake

>>57550711
Op makes shit up that was not in the linked article.

>>57551362
He also never even showed that it was real by turning it on. That nigger was the biggest fake and I don't know why /v/ shat itself over the stupid scenario.
