It's just as well, people would be bitching and moaning about the clock speeds not being up to their standards.


yea that all we got so far : No specific details were revealed beyond that it is "based on the same architecture as the world's top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards", and has a custom API known as "NVN", which is designed to "bring lightweight, fast gaming to the masses"
 
The switch ... is 3 in 1 console i don't know why even the top gamer are not interested for this....if it can run remastered version of skyrim it can handle everything ps4 as to offer.....i don't get why people want to know cpu or gpu if it run the game??? anyway i quit with arguing with people you don't like the switch then good for you if your a fanboy good for you too but cmon get over it!!

Is hardly about specs, is about devs making games that is clearly out of league with the system. Like mighty no 9 on wii u is probably the worst of the games ports, just by playing it is enough to say it wasn't designed for the system. Lots of games that do break expectations of the system hardware, but some just are clearly not designed for the system but try to anyway, do a poor job. Nintendo has always proved that games hardware doesn't sell consoles, is the games, quality, and gameplay, and fun. :P

And I know that, I've been a Nintendo fan since 1993 :P I'm just saying there are people out there who think specs are the be-all-end-all of making good games; they do help, but so does art direction and how much one enjoys it. If the games suck, graphics, CPU, etc isn't going to save it, that's all I was trying to say, sorry XD

I mean is all a matter of opinion, so is not really something people can say is definite. I do enjoy good quality graphics, and good quality gameplay, but i can live without amazing CGI Cel shaded 8K HD graphics, in favor of a good game that plays well and is fun. :P

it's confirmed the wii/u lan adapter works with the switch so don't waste your $ on the switch one they got wii/u ones on ebay for $10 :P
As long as it is based on the ASIX AX88772 chipset it should work fine, plenty to choose from if you need another. Although if you have an high quality ac router with good coverage it may not be necessary. One may also need a switch for their Switch. :)
 
Until they reveal the CPU/GPU specs, they haven't really revealed anything.
Most/all of these revealed specs were already known.

I highly doubt they are as good as people are making them out to be.
This is Nintendo after all. Also Zelda BOTW had huge frame drops every 20 mins during DigitalFoundry's play through. A system that drops to 20 FPS at least once every 20 minutes is not worth buying.

So the switch is connected to the dock only via USB.
Maybe a hope to see an easy to use PC application to emulate the dock part for streaming.
 
Yeah, Bluetooth is the best.
Bluetooth isn't the best. Actually radio that still the older xbox one controllers use is better since less latency and a bigger distance before losing the connection. They went with bluetooth for the xbox one S since it's cheaper plus so that they can promote their windows 10 platform more so that people can use their controllers on pc without buying extra hardware to do so

A game from 2011 is hardly a benchmark for the competition game quality. Knowing specs is one part of understanding the console's possible oomph. If the chip is the same as with the Shield TV, it's free from the best solution even if it could run games available on PC
