Switch hardware analysis

Not to mention the resolution of the tablet vs. the switch.

>>58469111
2560x1800 resolution high quality panel, against a shit quality 720 panel with shit tier capacitive touch and way more featuers

Think you're lost friend.

>>58469099
Nobody fucking cares.

This is not /v/

>>58469126
/v/intendo is in denial and doesn't understand hardware

>>58469134
this is technology, I'm not talking about video games, go be autistic elsewhere

>>58469138

I'm not really sure hardware ever mattered with Nintendo. They've always had worse specs than everyone else. As long as the games are fine and the general user experience is fine, it will sell well. A number of people are going to buy this just for Breath of the Wild.

>>58469099
Still not confirmed what's going to be in the switch, that article is from last year

Some basic calcs I did:
Docked switch will be ~60% worse than a ps4 (non pro)
Mobile switch will be ~40% weaker than a flagship smartphone

And this PoS will be gobbled up by nintendo manchildren for $350

Daily reminder the new shield was scrapped so as not to compete with Switch
Daily reminder that we will not have a Nexus 7 successor because of the Switch
Daily reminder it's okay when nintendo does it

>>58469212
>Daily reminder that we will not have a Nexus 7 successor because of the Switch

wut? What does Google care?

>>58469138
Nintendo has ALWAYS been the company to release something underpowered compared to everything else out, but $100-200 cheaper.

N64, SNES, etc, etc.

It's been going on for decades.

>>58469238
>What does Google care?
>google needs to care for a Nexus 7 successor to be had
The shield was the spiritual successor of the nexus 7. It doesn't matter from which company.

>>58469268
>but $100-200 cheaper.
top kek faggot. this thing is more expensive than a PS4 (normal, not pro) while also being way slower than a PS4

>>58469290
and also handheld and 1/4 of the size

your point?

>>58469268
N64 had stronger cpu/gpu than ps1 but less memory and the cartridge was also a limiting factor

>>58469278
>It doesn't matter from which company.

What are you on? Can I have some too?

>>58469300
>mobile hardware with no battery life
either be a console or a viable handheld. this is neither

>>58469301
PS1 came out 2-3 years earlier

>>58469310
Kek grow up faggot, this has nintendo written all over it, it fully follows their strategy for the past 2+ decades, everyone knew this was going to be the case MONTHS ago, why you're throwing a tantrum because it's been confirmed is beyond me.

None of the announcements last night surprised ANYONE who was paying attention.

>>58469307

>>58469268
>something underpowered

my sides
These weak consoles started with the wii, really.

>$100-200 cheaper
Except now it's significantly more expensive. And wiiU is still the price of a ps4.

>>58469300
So it has a small battery and 720p screen which is cheap af, while a ps4 has a much more expensive HDD, apu etc.

>>58469330

not that guy but two days ago /g/ was spamming that this will be 200-250$.

300$ is way too much especially with the absolutely retarded controller prices

how big is the battery on switch? I'm sure after year release nintendo gonna made new revision like putting 10.000mah battery so it won't get downclock,

>>58469358
Vote with your wallet, that's a valid form of protest.

bitch online about it just makes you look butthurt. Waaaaaaahhhh I want things to be produced and sold at cost because no one deserves to make a profit.

>>58469278
Not only does your reasoning not make sense but Shield wasn't even a spiritual successor to the Nexus 7, unless you think every 7" tablet is a spiritual successor. The Shield was marketed to gamers, launched at $100 more, and weighed far more than most tablets of its size.

>>58469370
>/g/ was spamming
let me just stop you right there

/g/ wasn't spamming shit

/g/ hasn't had a Nintendo switch thread regularly until literally the day or two before the event.

Actual technical discussion that occurred on /g/ when the switch was first rumored pointed at $250-350, with some retards saying it will be $199 cause they're retarded.

>>58469372
fuck off fanboy
>just don't buy it
>just ignore the jewery of nintendo, it's okay when nintendo does it

>>58469352
No you're the retard
Google doesn't care about the shield. It's an Nvidia thing.
Google is not likely to make another 7 inch tablet, because (a) Nexus as a brand is kill and (b) they killed their 7" and 10" line and settled for 9"
(b) does not really matter because any company can make a good 7"-8" tablet that would fill the void left by the Nexus 7

>>58469370
Nintendo knows its demographic just like apple. Drones will eat it and ask for more.

>>58469390
Lol I'm not buying it because $300 is too much money for a shitty gaymer handheld.

That being said, I 100% see where the costs go and as someone who works with manufacturing of electronics, I fully understand WHY it costs as much as it does. It's just not a product that interests me.

>>58469372
>Vote with your wallet

>>58469407
>I 100% see where the costs go
that's because you don't know shit.

>>58469111

All the reviewers who have played it have praised how awesome the display looks

>>58469416
Yeah brand new custom controller with slide on screen and docking station, totally 100% already been done before, just gotta go dust off the blueprints and start producing it.

Fucking moron R&D alone costs MILLIONS of fucking dollars for brand new tech like this.

You're obviously a high schooler, just get the fuck off /g/ already and go back to /v/.

>>58469395
The 7 was their most successful tablet. Their 9" trying to compete with the iPad was a failure. Just because they've offed their Nexus line doesn't mean they won't make tablets anymore. It's already rumored that HTC will make one just like the Pixel.

>does not really matter because any company can make a good 7"-8" tablet that would fill the void left by the Nexus 7

Not really debating that am I?

>>58469381

No.

>Other 7" inch tablets

GCN had the best specs of the generation, it was just crippled with mini DVDs

>>58469347
I think it started with the DS. Even by the standards of the time - against the PSP and e.g. iPod/iriver/cowon/archos/... shit, it was reeeeal stingy on the hardware front

But at least the DS had great games and super battery life

So we get an overpriced gadget which can run copy pastas with better graphics of games that are in a comatose state because that shitty input quantity right there has been the standard for the past 2 gens and doesn't allow any game to evolve in terms of gameplay mechanics.

Great.

Remember when console gaming was good?
It was a time when console controls added more buttons and input with each advancing gen.
The moment that stopped, the moment they turned useless.

>>58469449
LOL no, it did not. Now you're speaking out of your ass.

>>58469434

it's literally a piece of plastic to hold the console, with a USB C to HDMI and power cable.

nope it was the xbox

>>58469467
>>58469472
Keep telling yourself that, Microsoft

>>58469441
Most people didn't need the premium hardware that cost $100 more and the added weight the Shield had. Way to ignore the points. Also they had overheating issues. So much for good hardware.

>>58469468
Lol, the dock that doubles the GPU performance of the Switch is just a piece of plastic?


Fuck off you're so obviously retarded. Holy shit.

>>58469484

>he disagrees with me, clearly he's a fanboy
Top kek

>>58469506
The point is how do you think it overclocks just by being plugged into the dock?

Nigger faggot, it has cooling in the dock

>>58469482
yeah a 486Mhz single core 180nm CPU vs the xbox with a 733Mhz single core 180nm CPU.

Hmmmm wonder which was better....

>>58469517
>overclocks
it doesn't. are you retarded? it has no cooling, no overclocking.

docked: tegra runs are normal speed
undocked: tegra runs are slower speed

it's not for heating, but for battery life that is already shit when it's underclocked

>>58469526

I mean, one and a half years, but feel free to suggest it was twice that amount of time.

>>58469536
>it's not for heating
Bullshit, fucking absolute 100% bullshit.

If it's a battery life issue they could just let you run it at full speeds all the time, MOST people wouldnt care about the battery life because MOST people are near outlets often enough.

It is 100% about cooling. retard.

>>58469517
Wow a fucking fan, that was hard.

That said it doesnt overclock. It just goes to the normal clocks, and the Shield TV has no problem running those.

>>58469602
>the saturation of tablets were the same in 2012 and 2013 than in 2014 and 2015

So cooling is not a primary thing it does, if at all.

The success or failure of this will be based on how quick the battery charges and/or how cheap battery packs are.

Having said that, most of their target audience are kids who only use it while sitting in the back of the car while mom takes them to get some mdconalds or adults who will take it with them to the shitter to lay a log on the fire.

Spot on

If I want pure hardware I play with PC. Xbox and PS are both just shitty PC options at this point.

Wii was super popular with shit hardware just because of the game experience.

I hope they capture that again. Having the same unit for gaming at home or easily on the go is certainly appealing. Will see how it plays out.

>>58469204

If what you're saying is true, it shouldnt be hard at all to find proof...right?

>>58469835
yes retard. it's a fucking dock, it uses a USB-C port only, the console has not opening for cooling, the dock is for charging and TV out. these are all facts

>>58469454

>>58469992

>>58470011

>>58470028
You posted a single "source' from october which admitted freely that Nintendo wouldn't comment on if the Dock did anything more than video passthrough/charging

>>58470037
you have not even gotten 1 detail right. you don't even know about the announcement and treehouse live stream with all the detail announcements.

>>58469204
your calculations suck
the X1 is about 40% as powerful as a r9 360 which is comparable to the xbox one (using 3dmark icestorm unlimited)
which means even in docked mode, the switch is like 1/4 as powerful as ps4, in tablet mode, it will be <1/8th the performance of the ps4 which is xbox 360 level.

>>58470054
Then post some of those sources and we can settle this argument if they actually mention the dock.

>>58470062
Ps4 = 1800 Mflops
x1 = 1000 Mflops
Right?

>>58469812
Haha of course Wii was a gimmick. That's the point. Why make another iteration of a shitty PC like an xbox or playstation instead of ANYTHING remotely unique? Its not fooling the masses as much as offering an alternative product that many traditional non-purchasers may consider.

Wii did well. Wii u was shit. Switch could suck too but I think it will do significantly better than Wii u. Obviously, that wouldn't take much.

I use to travel a lot with an Xbox and it was manageable but shitty. Can certainly see the appeal of switch.

>>58469517
It basically does the same as intel's mobile CPU's when laptops aren't hooked up to a power source. It enters lowest performance mode to conserve juice. It's basically like turbo-boost being disabled.

>>58470097
no, x1 = 500mflops and it has serious memory bottlenecks.

>>58470122
Oh I fucked up with fp16/32 then
unless you did

>>58469123
>shit tier capacitive touch
You're thinking of resistive touch you mong.

>>58470139
it doesn't matter, the benchmarks of x1 in 3dmark speak for itself

Theres nothing in the dock apart from power connections, and the cable for video output. The tablet itself has active cooling, and it ramps up when docked.
No additional GPU or anything in the dock, its all in the tablet, and its not very powerful.

Its basically only as powerful as the WiiU. Though the CPU is likely more powerful, and it only has to support a single screen. Word is that all the games on the system won't even run at native resolution of 1280x720. Some titles like the new Zelda game are only running at 900p when docked, and they look like garbage. No AA, low draw distance, use of an ugly hazy fog to hide the poor LOD, etc.

It looks like Nintendo really did use Nvidia's garbage unwanted X1 SoCs for their new system. It is insulting that they're charging $300 for a tablet powered by bottom of the barrel hardware that no OEM wanted because power consumption was so shitty. MediaTek would have been a better solution, likely at the same price as well.
Though of course 10 year olds don't care about the nuances of hardware.

meanwhile on futaba...

http://futalog.com/index.php?mode=ttl&s_word=%83j%83%93%83e%83%93

>>58469099
So, it's less powerful than the fucking Wii U?

>>58470401
Probably. The joycon gimmicks is more likely the reason for the inflated price.

>>58470401
it's like 10% faster but don't expect games to run better on it because of lack of optimization

>>58469290
>top kek faggot. this thing is more expensive than a PS4 (normal, not pro)

Add in a Switch Pro controller (plus a microsd) and the price is basically the same as the PS4 Pro.

>>58470102
>Haha of course Wii was a gimmick.
There's a difference between features and gimmicks. The wii motion controls got old after 10 mintures. Anyone seriosly playing the games sat down on the sofa and shaked the controller lazily which was just a more annoying way of control to pushing a button.

>I use to travel a lot with an Xbox and it was manageable but shitty
How poor were you? Should have gotten a laptop with gaming capability, smaller lighter and better.

Also, being a shitty PC can be a good thing. It means you get all those AAA games, witch could have been very neat on the go, but as it stands now there'll be minimal ports to switch. Even skyrim is still unconfirmed.

>>58470333
source? I want to laugh at this

>>58470626
It is running at 900p and you can see the graphics for yourself.

The chip in the switch is a custom version of the X1.

Various outlets reporting on it, and people talking about it on twitter.
Breath of the Wild only runs at 900p when docked. Nintendo also claims that typical Switch battery life is only 3 hours when playing it in portable mode.
The dock is literally a hollow chunk of plastic. The bulk of it is nothing but a hollow compartment for cables, then a tiny power phase for plugging it into the wall, pass through for video output. Pic related. Thats all there is to it.


>>58470633
"Custom" likely means "we lowered the clock speeds from stock configuration." Its meaningless marketing obfuscation. Might as well claim that the Google Pixel C is using a custom X1 SoC as well.

>>58469992
That shake your bod' game was pretty neat

>>58470788
Cars.
They power infotainment systems, and they base their self driving systems off the Tegra SoCs which are supplemented by two mobile GPUs which do all the real processing.

The hardware isn't even suited to this, its Nvidia just trying to recoup losses.

>>58470788
Because it wouldn't look good to shareholders. They still want part in that market especially with how cars are progressing.

it's ok when nitnendo does it

>>58469202

>>58469099
The pixel C also costed $500 and the switch $300. And obviously you can not name one game that is remotely comparable to a tripe A title like Zelda on any Andriod tablet. Though we can all agree it's retarded the x1 being the chip of choice, had they waited for x2 we could have seen something truly game changing in performance and battery life.

>>58470934
How much do you think it will throttle to while gaming?

>>58470333
Why would they render games at a higher resolution than the screen?

>>58471027
because it can be hooked to a higher res screen retard
bottom line tvs are 1080p

>>58470868
Everyone should, games is how consoles get you and get more expensive than PC in the long run.

But Note that the switch will only have a measly 32gb internal memory and games will be 6-15GB most likely. Game cards will be the primary mean of distribution, even more so than 3ds and wii u.

>>58471069
I forgot this was their actual console and not just a shitty handheld, you mong.

> When docked, the Switch's GPU runs at a 768MHz, already lower than the 1GHz of the Shield Android TV. When used as a portable, the Switch downclocks the GPU to 307.2MHz—just 40 percent of the clock speed when docked
So, 393 GFLOPS and 157 GFLOPS respectively

In terms of raw compute performance, in portable mode it is actually slower than either Xobx 360 or PS3

>>58471082
What's the fucking point of that thing, it has shit perfomance for tablet and even worse compared to home consoles. Also why the fuck would you use housefire x1?

>>58471075
It has microsd slot doesn't it and they are not that expensive. Perhaps finally a reason for me to buy one of those chink microsd cases.

Nintendo building a dirt cheap system, selling it at a premium, knowing full well that their autistic manchildren audience will keep buying all their cheap plastic junk. Just look at the "amiibo" phenomena. Terribly man chink plastic figurines with a little NFC tag in them. Austistic man babies buy them all up so actual children can't find them, it turned into such a problem that Nintendo execs asked people to stop in one of their prior live presentation.

The company could sell actual human shit in a box and autists would buy it.

>>58469172
You mean that one game thats half the launch line up and also releases on WiiU? Yeah im sure it'll sell plenty of consoles

>>58471100
That's a minus in my book, means I need to get a fuckhuge SD card for roms once this drops a lot in price.

Smallish ones arent expensive, true, could just go with multiple I guess.

No kidding.
They said they intended them to be enjoyed, not collected and stored away. There are waves of unwashed smelly fedora wearing manchildren who troll online for shipping manifests so they can see when new figures are hitting stores. They'll wait in the parking lot of a Toys R Us for the store to open, then run in and buy all the new released ones.
For a while some stores even had a 1 per customer policy because of that.

Those are basically the only people who bought a WiiU. Craven degenerates, massive overlap with the MLP fanbase so its no wonder they're so disgusting.

What Nintendo has, that its different from PS or XBOX or Pc, is that their exclusives are actually EXCLUSIVES.

You cant deny how different are Nintendo's games from other generic game son the other consoles. Thats why players wont give a fuck about hardware or how's their resolution.

So this is irrelevant as fuck

Both as in both the N64 and GCN

>>58471348
you are retarded, the term downclocked works better here

>>58471450
Not in the slightest, in fact it's much worse as it's some technologically illiterate twat's terminology against actual terminology.

>>58471422
Tiny internal battery, probably a super shit tier many year old LCD panel pulling a lot of power, the X1 probably still pulls 5w~ under load at its low clocks.

Each Joy con has its own small battery, and I'm guessing the tablet itself has maybe 2000mah to 3000mah. It goes quick when you have a sloppy shit system made from inefficient hardware.

>>58471473
downclock means moving the clock down for the entire line, underclock is what you do after launch to you own chip you fucking retard

>>58470713
Yea it is a marketing meme.
I am not getting a Switch. Maybe for $200-250

>>58469099
>downclocked
That just means they are going to sell a new Switch XL/XS with the unlocked CPU and some other things that should have been there from the begining

Resolution is irrelevant to power consumption, except considering the GPU. However, drawing the desktop is considered an insignificant task. The vast majority of display power consumption comes from the backlight.

>>58469154

Game-related consumer electronics go in /v/ you dumb newfag.

>>58471620
Sure thing bud

>>58469172
This.

People buy Nintendo because they are cheap, because of their exclusive games, and the fact they do try new things with their consoles. Not because if the hardware.

I wouldn't mind a switch for casual mario kart with friends or something, and if I want to game with good hardware I'll use my desktop.

>>58470333
What's the source for X1?

>>58470612
>How poor were you? Should have gotten a laptop with gaming capability, smaller lighter and better.

I had a gaming notebook and had an Xbox for gaming with my real life friends while on the road. I had a lot of money because I had no living expenses due to company paying all travel but not much free time then. The video card ended up overheating and dying on the "gaming" notebook after a few years. Just like everyone else I know that had a gaming notebook. I was retarded enough to buy a replacement gaming notebook but never again. My Xbox still works but has been in a closet for years. Now that I don't travel its been PC gaming exclusively.

> Even skyrim is still unconfirmed.
Bethesda announced it but that's a pretty shitty played out title anyway. Plus no mods. FIFA will probably be big for it but I've always hated sport games so fuck that.

I don't think anyone is saying the switch is going to be a technological marvel. It just needs to fit a role that people need in order to do well. Currently no other product on the market does what the switch can do. Only time will tell if that's successful.

Hauling a laptop around with a shield to stream from your home server isn't the same as a single handheld device that just does it all. In the same way the switch is more attractive than hauling around a traditional clunky laptop.

>>58472676
I hope you're aware that it's possible for laptops with Thunderbolt 3 to plug in desktop GPUs.

>>58469301
the ps1 had 2M memory, n64 was 4M stock, with an additional 4M optional

the n64 had some weird design choices, and of course using carts severely limited certain things (overall game size, sound, music, fmv, etc)
things like texture filtering looked good on paper, but didn't really matter, and textures didn't end up looking as good overall compared to ps1 games due to the tiny 4k texture size limit, and the fact that the relatively small carts caused devs to use fewer/simpler textures (see for example, mario64, barely anything is even textured at all)

>>58469268
>Nintendo has ALWAYS been the company to release something underpowered compared to everything else out, but $100-200 cheaper.
that's not true, for example;
the gameboy advance was the most powerful handheld at the time, i believe, if not it was pretty high end
the gamecube was the most powerful home console... for the very short period before the xbox came out, bar the smaller dvd's compared to the ps2 (though that only really limited fmv quality, minidvd's were big enough otherwise at the time)

>>58469099
The second revision will be normally clocked and battery life will be slightly improved.
The third will be superclocked and have 4 extra GeeBees.

>>58473307
Its now 2017, you'll be lucky if you see even a slight revision of this shit heap before 2020.

2020.
19 years after 9/11 took place, and Nintendo will still be pushing 720p on the market.
This should actually be a crime.

>>58473338
I think we could see a revision in 1 1/2 - 2 years, honestly.

>>58473338
3ds has lower res than psp, so it's not something unusual for them

The hardware disappoints me greatly even as a huge handheldfag.
Nintendo knew both AMD and Nvidia were going to make a huge jump, why the fuck didn't they wait an extra year or two? Scorpio should be this year and that is rumored to have have Polaris 10 on it.
I don't really care about online on their consoles, but since they're dropping handhelds this means I won't be able to play shit like MonHun or Pokemon without dropping some shekels.
They really should have just released the switch controllers as a fits all smartphone controller and release their games there letting them change settings depending on your specs. At least some phones are not underpowered shit.
I guess Zelda looked nice, but I'm not buying the entire thing for Zelda. They might do the same shit as the others and refresh this console for performance.

Also, why is this still on /g/?

>>58473405
that's not completely accurate

it's 400x240 (psp 480x272), but that's /per eye/, overall it's 800x240
in 2D resolution that's true, but in 3D they're not directly comparable
