Nintendo reportedly showed a demo of the ‘Switch 2’ console at Gamescom which included visuals comparable to the PS5 and Xbox Series X. (www.videogameschronicle.com)

To use the PS5 as an example, it's based on Zen 2 and RDNA 2, both of which are now deprecated. It would not be surprising for Nintendo to match them at this point in the cycle.

The Steam Deck uses the same architectures by the way, with different core counts and a few more differences in capabilities

Yes it is surprising, it’s a high TDP desktop x86 SoC vs a low TDP mobile ARM SoC. Not close.

Did Nintendo announce that Switch 2 is ARM?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I don’t know. It’s obviously arm. They partner with Nvidia, they want backward compat, and it’s a mobile device.
