    SciresM might have missed something about a Switch Pro or next gen Switch

    Thank you for replying and clearing this up and I meant no disrespect

    SciresM might have missed something about a Switch Pro or next gen Switch

    Ya, I'm surprised SciresM didn't notice this (and I guess Mr. Heskin never mentioned this to him)

    SciresM might have missed something about a Switch Pro or next gen Switch

    I don't have a twitter but I know SciresM is around here so I thought it's ok to post this. Basically, today he posted this But Mike Heskin said the following in June... I think there was indeed another SoC ("Switch Pro") that they cancelled or delayed at the last minute (apparently because...

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    yes, they can choose either 1331 or 1600 for docked, but only 1331 is available to portable modes

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    What??? Erista's EMC could go above 1600Mhz??

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    Is it realistic to think they could increase it for a revision or would that require significant changes?

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    They can increase the CPU and GPU clocks a lot with Mariko, especially if they do a further die shrink. But I'm wondering if the EMC is stuck at 1600Mhz, that could be a real problem for docked mode (according to digital foundry and other experts). If you don't or rarely play docked, then...

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    The EMC currently tops out at 1600Mhz, it can go down to 1331Mhz too

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    Didn't sciresM say that's not happening though? It's still gonna use Mariko

    Hardware Mariko memory cannot go above 1600MHz?

    I've been talking about the Switch Pro with my friend and he insists the Mariko SoC memory cannot go above 1600Mhz, he says they'd have to make significant changes to the SoC to go above 1600... is this true? I hope this isn't true because that probably means the Switch Pro (or whatever they...

    [UPDATE] Rumor: "upgraded" Nintendo Switch to launch early next year

    There's some kind of confusion there, obviously even a Switch Pro could not possibly render games at 4K. It might have 4K output though. I assume it's just Mariko but higher clocked. I'm getting it day 1 because I'm sure it'll render BotW at 1080p. 900p upscaled to 1080p is so ugly and blurry...

    [UPDATE] Rumor: "upgraded" Nintendo Switch to launch early next year

    I think this is the Switch with the IGZO display and 10nm RAM hexkyz mentioned last year https://twitter.com/hexkyz/status/1149349182987104256

    Hardware is there a portable profile with 1600MHz memory clock?

    Then isn't it just stupid that they haven't made the 1600Mhz speed available to some studios? I'm sure there's quite a few titles that would benefit from 1600Mhz instead of 1331

    Hardware is there a portable profile with 1600MHz memory clock?

    How much battery life reduction do you think there would be in say Doom/Wolfenstein if the memory was set to 1600Mhz?

    Hardware is there a portable profile with 1600MHz memory clock?

    As far as I can tell, all the portable profiles have the memory at 1331Mhz. Is this still the case? Have they added a portable profile that has the memory at 1600Mhz? I doubt the battery hit would be significant and it could help some titles have higher and smoother/more stable framerate. It...
