[QUOTE="Deleted-442439, post: 7914887"] Several points that need to be addressed here: [B]Clockspeed[/B]: Yes the Switch running Horizon (the Switch FreeBSD based OS) is using a underclocked X1, that does however not mean it can't be clocked higher when running Android. This is a limit either set in the BIOS or by the OS, if we have Trustzone access that can be changed regardless, and if set in software, Android has that function nativily as long as we are running with elevated privileges (root). So regardless Shield games should be possible to run at full speed if the cooler can handle the increased clock speed (based on what we know of the thermals it definitely can be overclocked to Shield speeds without thermal throttling.) [B]Emulation: [/B]Dolphin should run relatively decently on the X1, even my older devices (LG 3, Galaxy S4 etc.) run it ok, and my newer devices (LG G6, Galaxy S8) run it great. The simple fact is that until we have Vulcan drivers for Switch, N64 and Gamecube/Wii emulation will not be possible, so I actually think we will be emulating those systems on Android before we get to natively in Horizon. Besides emulation Android actually has a decent library of games that would be great on Switch, and since Android supports HDMI over USB C you could enjoy those games on the TV with the pro controller/joycon over bluetooth also obviously supported in Android. In the end there is no real benefit over the phone you are using the read this, but it can be nice to have. EDIT: With the exception of sound glitches Melee runs relatively good on the Shield TV (about half speed), so if overclocked we should expect similar results on Switch: [MEDIA=youtube]LrykZV71lGI[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
