I'm fairly perplexed about Switch 2 specs.

Not really in performance, I saw someone build a PC over the weekend and benchmark it and it played literally everything at 1080p.

But the actual development. So Switch 1 was based on the Nvidia Shield chip, but Nintendo did all sorts of stuff to downclock it for battery and thermals. Even so it ran games better than the shield because of the custom API.

So Digital Foundry has been telling us for well over a year that the T239 in Switch 2 was based on the T234 used in cars for autonomous driving.

But then a few weeks ago in a Digital Foundry video with IGN, Richard random blurted out that the T239 team, had nothing to do with the T234 team and was developed separately. The inference being that we can't derive anything from the T234 relation.

Then we learned a few days ago that there were NVIDIA staff developing Switch 2s GPU and CPU as far back as 2017 which is before the t234 was even released in 2021-2022.

So we're back at the point where we have to assume it's custom hardware. Also DLSS has come into question as to how it works as this is the first time it's on a fixed platform.

Naysayers are saying its not a free lunch, won't work well, no 4k etc.

Then others are saying its on fixed hardware with set output resolutions and won't be costly to use, as its the first system developed with DLSS in mind. And developers can actually implement it in any game, developing for it.
