Do we know what the switch2's hardware is yet?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (6 children)

If the leaks are correct its:

Full specs:

CPU: Arm Cortex-A78C
    8 cores
    Unknown L1/L2/L3 cache sizes
GPU: Nvidia T239 Ampere
    1 Graphics Processing Cluster (GPC)
    12 Streaming Multiprocessors (SM)
    1534 CUDA cores
    6 Texture Processing Clusters (TPC)
    48 Gen 3 Tensor cores
    2 RTX ray-tracing cores
RAM: 12 GB LPDDR5

Handheld Mode:

CPU: 998.4 MHz
GPU: 561 MHz (~1.72 TFLOPS)
Memory Frequency: 4266 MHz
Memory Bandwidth: 68.256 GB/s

Docked Mode:

CPU: 1100.8 MHz
GPU: 1007.25 MHz (~3.09 TFLOPS)
Memory Frequency: 6400 MHz
Memory Bandwidth: 102.4 GB/s

I personally don't know how that compares to other hardware though.
(Edit: Thanks for the replies!)

Here's the OLED Deck specs for comparison:

APU

6 nm AMD APU

APU power: 4-15W

(which contains:)

CPU:

Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz

(up to 448 GFlops FP32)

GPU:

8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz

(1.6 TFlops FP32)

...

RAM:

16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM

(6400 MT/s quad 32-bit channels)

Storage:

Steam Deck 512GB NVMe SSD

Steam Deck 1TB NVMe SSD

Both include high-speed microSD card slot

EDIT: More details

https://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Steam-Deck-OLED-APU-Processor-Benchmarks-and-Specs.799065.0.html

So basically, the Deck and Switch 2 are roughly inverted in compartitive hardware power... the Deck has a more powerful CPU, the Switch 2 has a more powerful GPU.

EDIT 2:

also the Deck has 33% more RAM.

That low ram is going to hurt the new switch pretty quickly, I think. I wouldn't get a newish pc/laptop if it didn't have at least 16g ram these days. They're going to struggle again with ports.
