    There is no SoC that Nintendo can use for new Switch that made by nVidia.
    Current Tegra chipsets are power hungry, not suitable for Handheld.
    Only option is Qualcomm's XR chipsets.

    But, who knows may be nVidia gains an nice offer from Nintendo and make a SoC special for Nintendo, which is nVidia done before.

      you have to suffer, 09 Sep 2023i can see why midrange to flagship snapdragons are always e... moreEmulation will always use more CPU than GPU regardless of which system you're using, this has nothing to do with devs focusing on Snapdragon more than Mediatek, because the same thing happens on PC, that's just the way things are because emulation enables one system (PC, smartphone, console) to behave like another, translating a different language to a native one, which requires CPU power first and foremost. GPU only comes to the table later, when you want to add "sprinkles" to the emulation, such as increasing the native resolution of the console being emulated, or adding antialiasing, custom textures, and so on.

You are only paying for stronger characters and stronger weapons. Wtf is a proper weapon? You can complete the story and exploration with just the free stuff.

            Oh and a bunch of trust me bro bs about the apple deal.

              ed, 07 Sep 2023wrong,most people use their nintendo in dock modeDock mode? 🤣 Yeah most people love to see pixel bigger than their fingers on their 4k TV's with 720p native resolution of switch games 😀, switch is unusable in the dock mode, the only reason people buying it, because it is handheld console and all the Mario and Zelda crap.

                notafanboy, 07 Sep 2023The most important question is, will it be 30 or 60fps capable.Portable console don't expect miracles, biggest question is will it be 4k one, if not, it would be instant failure.

                      Anonymous, 08 Sep 2023I am personally waiting for Steam Deck 2. Nintendo is ju... moreGood luck with that.

                      Valve said they won't release deck 2 unless there's a major performance leap. Which is great and I really appreciate it, wish more companies thought like Valve.

                      But that also means you probably won't see Deck 2 anytime soon. Although when you will eventually, it'll surely be amazing!

The game is used to play allowed me to build what job/class I want with their proper weapons anytime I want because they (job class AND weapons) are not locked behind a lottery. Only fashion stuff with no stat boosting benefits are in the gacha which make them a non issue.
                          Imagine making do with charity stuff or what you pull or spending thousands $$$$ (which I didn't) to get bad luck pulls but hey at least you funded the freeloaders lol.
                          And the Apple deal? It's been a long time since the game was released but Android users still have to rely on 3rd party solutions for controller support. This is a well known info around the Genshin community, at least to those paying attention.

                                      Wrong, the gpu is still faster than low end devices and even some midrangers out there, its faster than the the gpu of the d1080 and not that far off from 778g.

What's the point if you won't get turnip drivers or custom rom support the way snapdragon does? You're deliberately losing functionality by picking mediatek, simple as.
