It's Monday, meaning it's time for us to publicly deploy the latest edition of DF Direct Weekly - and one of the topics…
Brute force compute is just one part of the mobile equation and Steam Deck benefits simply by virtue of a more modern architecture for both CPU and GPU, while storage capabilities are radically transformed in the move from a mechanical hard drive to SSD. Where the new Switch fits in is difficult to nail down, but we should expect more CPU performance from it than the PS4 could muster, while I suspect Nintendo would likely opt for eMMC storage internally as opposed to a small form-factor M.
However, it's the GPU that could prove more exciting. In terms of basic grunt, likening it to the last-gen consoles is probably on point. However, there is much more to the graphics core than the limited functionality of technology designed well over a decade ago. Its application may be limited, but the mooted T239 chip heavily rumoured for the next Switch features hardware-accelerated ray tracing features and if The Matrix Awakens demo is using them, that's quite remarkable.
What really excites me about a new Switch isn't just the hardware though. It's the continuity of the spirit of innovation and optimisation that saw the existing Nintendo hybrid deliver games we'd never have thought possible when the hardware was announced. When the Digital Foundry staff first saw Switch hands-on, we got what we expected to see - essentially a handheld form of performance more in line with the Wii U or Xbox 360.
