Doug Bowser, vice president of sales and marketing for Nintendo North America, said in an interview with the Washington Post that the NS is currently performing very well and the new model will be announced in due course.
Bowser shared with everyone Nintendo’s position in advancing technology: “We have been paying attention to technology and how technology should enhance the game experience. This is not to improve technology to improve technology, but to implement technology into the game experience. These technologies can Where is it used? Is it used on existing hardware and platforms or waiting for the next platform? What kind of game experience should be compatible with it? There are many factors in this, and we have been paying attention.”
Bowser did not emphasize technical competition and hardware improvement. He emphasized the diversity of users of upcoming games and Nintendo services. Sony is now vigorously promoting the high-pitched picture experience in games, while Microsoft will create itself as a provider of quality services, so Nintendo is happy to continue as a strategy to provide a series of games, not only to attract, cultivate and expand audiences.
“As we enter the fifth year, NS really redefines the life cycle of the game console, as well as the vitality and strong content rhythm of the entire life cycle.”
It was previously reported that Nintendo chose a custom version, model T239. The standard model of the Orin chip is T234, but it is mainly positioned as a car autopilot chip. The power consumption of the most entry-level version of L2 is 15 watts. The Switch should be based on it for magic changes. After all, game consoles are different from cars.
That is, the CPU used by Nintendo is a 12-core Cortex-A78AE (Hercules), the GPU is an Ampere architecture, 2048 CUDAs are built in, LPDDR5 memory is supported, and the bandwidth is 200GB/s, which is almost 10 times that of the current Switch Tegra X1.
Judging from the GPU CUDA scale, it is the same as the RTX 3050 on the notebook, but the latter is 8nm, power consumption 35~80 watts, Orin is 7nm, one increase and one decrease, performance may be similar.
