Nintendo Switch 40% Portable?

First hearing about a "console" that is portable you automatically know there will be performance losses when on the go, but it is still surprising that it might only top out at 4/10 its power, i guess the software/price will determine whether it is truly worth it.

I had ZERO expectations so Nintendo actually went above my expectations

Sweet the switch is coming to Toronto.

Sounds underpowered, but I'll have to see how developers make use of what they have to work with.

If the Switch screen is 720p, how much graphics power would it need to do that? When it's docked for the TV (1080p), maybe that's when it needs the full GPU power. It'd be like turning down the graphics settings on a game because you have an X50 card instead of an X80. Should have had Adam on when talking GPU's.

but the switch will not be a flop

I feel like the switch should be compared more with the wii u,(like how much better its going to be than it), rather than the xbox one and ps4 when it comes to specs since its a handheld/console and since nintendo has never really been known to put out powerful hardware. Nintendo games like mario and etc. will run great on the switch and if other third party games do too then thats cool but those exclusives like Mario, Zelda, or Smash are the reasons why I get the nintendo consoles to begin with, I already have a Xbox one and wouldnt mind having a ps4 but as long as the nintendo games work well on the switch then I will be happy:)

Commenting on the PS4 being 800MHz vs the Switch being 768MHz is rather meaningless. The PS4 is based on an AMD architecture from 2012/13. The Switch is based on an Nvidia architecture from 2014 which was tweaked and modified for the switch on a slightly smaller process node (20nm vs originally being 28nm).

But the point is, you can't just blindly compare the operating frequency of two different architecture parts and draw ANY meaningful conclusion from it. They're two numbers which are in no way tied to each other and give us ZERO understanding of the actual performance capabilities. 
I guess I can't expect you guys to hire a full time tech writer, but come on, at least get someone who keeps up to date on this stuff on their own time (there are plenty of tech nerds who do this shit for free, let alone getting paid to make it "news")

God I don't miss Meg.
