Parker already uses pascal , at the same 16 nm process by TSMC that ' s also used in most 10 series graphics cards . That ' s why I ' m using Parker and Tegra X 1 as a basis . For the most part , the Switch SoC has been developed for almost the past 2 years alongside Parker , and as such , I expect the two to share a lot of similarities . contentuploads 201608 N V I DIATegraParkerSOCFeatures . pngOut of everything on the diagram , the main components I expect to change on Switch , are the 4 k 60 Video encodersdecoders Nvidia has confirmed that the chip has hardware video decoding , but I don ' t expect it to be 4 k 60 , the absence of the safety engine which appears to be something to do with automotive safety standards , the memory controller since the system will likely only have 2 RAM chips , it will only need a 64 bit LPDDR 4 controller , and maybe a different CPU Complex . Overall , I think the goal with the Switch chip is to make something a a little bit lighter than the stock Parker chip , as opposed to something bigger . I really don ' t see it pushing beyond 750 GFLOPS . not by a large margin anyway , because although an SoC doesn ' t have to deal with cooling and RAM , the Switch tablet does . The tablet also has to deal with the screen , and the sound output , and the Bluetooth connection with the controllers , and supplying power to the game cartridge and the internal storage , and the wireless adapter when it ' s in use .
