Recently, foreign media exposed a Nintendo Switch developer document, which shows that the latest Nintendo Switch game console uses the NVIDIA 20nm process based old generation processor Tegra X1, which is also the SoC widely used by tablet computers, commonly known as the nuclear bomb. The GPU part of the SoC is Maxwell.
However, it is a pity that the Tegra X1 it uses seems to be a castrated version. The standard version of Tegra X1 uses an eight core design of four A57+four A53. However, this Tegra customized by Switch has only four A57 cores with a main frequency of 2GHz, and currently only three of them are available for developers to call.
In the graphics part, it has 256 CUDAs, and its floating point performance is 1 Teraflop. Although its floating point performance is far behind that of Sony's PS4 Pro/Slim and Microsoft's Xbox One S, considering that the resolution of the Switch is only 720P in the handheld mode, and it can only reach 1080P 60FPS in the Dock mode, its performance should also meet the requirements.
