Jim Whitehurst? The guy who sold Red Hat to IBM? Cool, cool, cool. Cool.

I guess launching this next year ahead of the rumoured Switch 2 launch would make sense to steal some of Nintendo's potential market share.

How the fuck was Uber supposed to help traffic? That's the most American take on solving traffic issues I've read in a while.

I bet the Switch 2's SoC will include a GPU based on Ampere or newer, which means RTX 3000 series capabilities which. Nvidia Tegra Orin from 2019 already included that much.

Of course it will be very likely more limited than even a 3060 mobile chip, but it could include both RT and DLSS 3.5 if they wanted to. I doubt they use RT but DLSS would make a lot of sense.

I mean the Xbox Series S will be a 4 year old non-high-end console by the time the Switch 2 will be released. I can definitely see them go in that direction.

Maybe it will have more RAM, but it will most likely have slower/cheaper RAM. LPDDR5 or LPDDR5X instead of GDDR6. Should also be more power efficient.

I just wonder whether they want to use DLSS for more FPS on the handheld or whether it's simply their future way to upscale from the native handheld resolution to 4K when docked.

Surely DLSS would be very taxing on the battery life, but it would be great to improve the docked experience which is often rather bad (stuttering, etc.) with the old Switch.

So privacy first first and privacy last second, interesting combo
