All is confirmed the Nintendo Switch is powered by stock Nvidia Tegra X1, same chipset used in Shield TV. The most surprising is the retention of 4 Cortex A53 processor cores, which have no use in the Nintendo switch as they can't be operated at the same time when Cortex A57 cores are running due to the ARM big.little configuration setup.

After subsequent processing of the GPU from the Nintendo Switch, we have determined that the processor is the Nvidia Tegra T210. The T210 CPU features 4 Cortex A57 and 4 Cortex A53 processor cores and the GPU is a GM20B Maxell core.

http://techinsights.com/about-techinsights/overview/blog/nintendo-switch-teardown/

Nvidia Tegra X1 features

• 8 core CPU (4 x Cortex A57 and 4 x Cortex A53)
• GPU is a GM20B Maxell core

A comparison to Shield TV. Switch specs on the left, and Shield TV on the right. The clock speeds are reported from Eurogamer, which are very much true.

• RAM: 4GB vs 3GB
• CPU: 1Ghz vs. 2Ghz
• GPU: 3 modes:307.2Mhz/384Mhz/768Mhz vs 1Ghz

Shield TV is clocked higher initially in both CPU and GPU, but don't forget Shield TV can't keep these clock speeds up for long, it throttles down to the exact switch's dock clockspeeds. Which further supports a stock X1.

ooooh he's from the nanny state. that might explain the perpetual adolescence.

pretend he is not a kid and falling for his own stupidity.

He probably dropped $500 on his Xbone and can't come to terms with the fact that all the point and shoot games for it could have been played on the 360 with slightly worse graphics.

Have you noticed how your center everything around "you", but try to pass it as general facts for everyone?
Have you considered perhaps that the world does not revolve around you? Perhaps, I say.

all i will say is, even nintendo keep making the false promise of getting better third party support.

its not just me who sees this problem with nintendo, i guess its if your a fan then you will refuse to admit that they have fallen so far behind.

nintendo have to rely on BS gimmicks to make its consoles more appealing.

 

[DarkIrata]

I can only consider them as fanboys if they sit there and refuse to accept this switch is a cheap ass nasty console and because they dont have the faults, they dont exist.

i named a few zelda titles that are good, mainly the N64, the only reason i have twilight princess is because of its value worth, the game is actually rather shit and i cant be arsed to complete it because it bores me, its basically the same shit..... and i have had it since launch.

Then why you just don't let them? If it is there opinion, let them.

Yes the switch has faults but i like it as a console. It even took me a while from being productive. Something only the ps2 back in it days could. So i like it, i don't care thats there not many games currently, i can wait. I have enough other things todo. As long as the games get a good port / will be a good new game.

Ahhh and the boring thins aboute tp. Yeah that's why the new Zelda is really good. It breaks old rules.
It just isn't a casual game anymore. Sooo. Git Gud.

True it's been selling for a whole 17 days, those third parties *clearly* don't even care about getting titles out the door.

yup point and shoot is all the xbone has, ohh wait remind me, what did the wii u get ported years after the 360......

nice graphic comparison..... whats that say about the switch then. mother fucker struggles to play fucking zelda never mind anything close to what the xbone has.

talking about the company you fool, nintendo lack the support period.

if the wii u isnt a perfect example then this clearly shows how fanboys really do deny anything bad about nintendo.

as a console i hate it, for a portable console if it was only, id like it, but thats if nintendo improved on the games its consoles get.

zelda tbf im not sure if i like it, i dont think it will be a game i will complete, bit like twilight princess.

What's all this chatter about pre pubescent console peasants playing shooters with a controller instead of on a real gaming system (aka PC) with a mouse and keyboard?

pc master race lol.

i used to be an avid pc gamer and i guess i woke up and saw that in all honestly most pc games were just console ports with the option to run at better settings which unless you paid for high end hardware, its expensive.

i hate windows as an OS for gaming and hate the fact that with xxxxx setup devs cant take advantage of the hardware a PC will have unlike on a console they can keep pushing it, you find unless you pay shit loads for a high end system, you have to upgrade within a few years just to be able to run a PC game at basic settings.

consoles are capable of running games during its entire life with no hardware upgrades and are a cheaper alternative.

plus console get a wider range of third party support.

maybe my view on PC gaming would change if i wasnt too lazy to replace the CPU fan on my PC and start playing games again, maybe i should because this system cost me near £1800 to build.

thing i like about the XBX1/PS4 is that they are able to offer a closeness to pc gaming, and yes by becoming like a PC is the best option, its cheaper than building your own custom parts - take the PS3 cpu, back in the day it was the most powerful chip and for its size..... but it was expensive.

it makes life easier for devs if the structure is the same or similar to PC.

this is how consoles have evolved and have changed the games we play.

nintendo, well theyre stuck with old hardware thats cheap for them, use a BS gimmick controller and its fans are like.... games are only fun because of this gimmick.

its games are limited to what we have already played, it lacks the hardware to let third parties support it by releasing its next AAA title - thus giving you the option to play that on a nintendo console if you have plenty to play on the XBX1/PS4.

devs are not going to spend millions on a AAA title, then pay more to have a team make a version solely for nintendo - it would cost too much and risk having no return.

You say you hate windows for gaming, xbox now runs windows now and the game you purchase can be played on both xbox and PC so I guess you hate xbox now?

Also I don't understand what you mean, first you say devs can't take advantage of PC hardware but then you contradict yourself saying you have to buy a high end system just to play some of the games.

Anyhoo, you should fix your PC, a fan is easy to fix and if you must play a shooter with a controller and auto aim then that can also be easily arranged as xbox one controllers work seamlessly with windows.

At least then you can get teabagged in 4k.

You say you hate windows for gaming, xbox now runs windows now and the game you purchase can be played on both xbox and PC so I guess you hate xbox now?-
because xbox is not an actual pc that required updating hardware to play games

Also I don't understand what you mean, first you say devs can't take advantage of PC hardware but then you contradict yourself saying you have to buy a high end system just to play some of the games. - because unless you upgrade your hardware then the game for the PC will run like shit.... take a pc built at the launch of XBX1....... come back 3 years later and find you are likely running the game at minimal settings to run smoothly.

Anyhoo, you should fix your PC, a fan is easy to fix and if you must play a shooter with a controller and auto aim then that can also be easily arranged as xbox one controllers work seamlessly with windows.

At least then you can get teabagged in 4k.

i barley use the PC hence why i cant be arsed, and even thou i have a 4K tv, im just as happy playing in 1080 because i wouldnt say it changes anything other than wow slightly higher resolution. 1080 is just fine for me, its not 1080p is like playing a PS1 game on a 62inch tv.

this tool doesnt know what hes talking about, pmsl ok, maybe the correct words here is, you are a fanboy that blindly loves nintendo, anything bad on their behalf you all instantly refuse to accept.

i guess if i dont know what im talking about, then the switch is not an over priced pile of shit that has no faults and runs its last gen ported launch games perfectly.

i base my views on nintendo off my experience with them, i have owned all their consoles dating back to the dawn of time, and since sony and ms came along, nintendo keep falling behind.

i mean fuck me, its not like this is their 2nd console during the same console generation.....

I read somewhere the games are intended for the hardware of current Gen consoles, I don't see a lot of AAA games PC exclusives, right now the home console market is profitable, there is no reason to stop existing that market even with PS now and the ps4 games coming to the PC with a monthly subscription

underpowered hardware+overpriced asf accessories+sub par paid online services+same old IPs over and over again.

Yep nintendo want all their money they lost on the wii u guys.

c'mon man, I think you're being a little hard on Nintendo. They aren't as big a company as Sony or MS, and are the only one of the three solely dedicated to making games

 

[DrkBeam]

"Keep making the false promise"

Boi it's only been a major problem with them since the Wii U and there are so many reasons that console failed

Besides power there might be others reasons why the switch won't have third party support, I think devs are cautious on the switch because their games didn't sell well on the previous console as well they don't know if the switch will be a financial failure, so the problems of a past history counts

dedicated to making the same old games, may i correct.
sorry but i used to be a fan, i used to love their consoles but i can go back play its games, then goto its new system and play its games and nothing is new, its the same shit.

my biggest problem is that nintendo only care about how they can sell its own shit, all of a sudden gaming isnt fun without its new gimmick, which is only added to mask the fact its a cheap ass system.

now if nintendo were like they were many many years ago and not only had its titles, but also had the third party support then yes i would love them.

but thats no longer the case, nintendo gradually lost this support because they refuse to keep up.

nothing is saying nintendo couldnt have release a system better than the ps4/xbx1 and still release its own games, this would actaully allow them the third party support and gives gamers that option to play xxx title on a nintendo console.

exactly my point in another post.

i linked to Resident Evil which was on the Cube, yet HD remakes ignored nintendo. take revelations, didnt get revelations 2, and this is just one third party title nevermind the rest it misses out on.

its fans are like, yea well we dont get them, we dont care, nintendo release the best games.....

then when last gen games we have already played on MS/SONY consoles, it gets ported to nintendo because it finaly has the hardware,.... fans are like yea but it has superior graphics (yup on the graphic wagon).

and im like meh wow well done, your next gen console is able to run a last gen game better than it did on last gen hardware..... sorry to piss on your bonfire m8, but your next gen console should have better hardware to have better results.

whats not impressive is that users are having this issue with zelda, at such an early stage in the consoles life, nevermind the countless other issues.

thing about business is you need to compete, not copy off other ideas to make you sound better than you are.

like the wii u, i will say watch the time progress, this console will not get the promise of third party support, it will lack the great titles the other consoles get and it will be another console with a small handfull of games worth getting that isnt the usual nintendo repeated titles and games aimed for kids.

Third party support and Nintendo games on the same system is too much to ask?, my wishful thinking is they will release a competitive home console on par with the ps5 and Xbox 2, but due to Nintendo past history they might release a switch 2, goes third party or release a successor of the 3ds
