Reply to comment by captainslowonthego in Poll (bet): Will the Nintendo Switch 2 be less or more powerful than an high-end smartphone with a Snapdragon Gen 2 chipset? by Honest-Word-7890

Wel, eventually it will not need to throttle down like phones. AMD has no expertize with ARM. nVidia also said in the past that the deal with Nintendo would have been 20 years long. Snapdragon it's really strong, like a top-end Intel mobile offering, in the GPU side.

Good point. It's certain that the technology and market are changing rapidly at the moment. Didn't know about the 20 year deal, that would mean that a Tegra 2 or maybe a further development is almost a certainty.

If you see at what for example Apple is currently doing with it's M1 and M2 chips a lot is possible now that was never expected to be before.

Yes. nVidia do privide also software tools that Qualcomm or others have not in their portfolio. I suppose it will be a new consumer Tegra (X3?).
