    Next generation of ryzen cpus, launching in a week or two. They should have higher clock speeds across the board for similar prices.

     

    Or an 8100+H310 mobo might also be worth considering.

    Its Ryzen + launching, not ryzen 2.

    Yeah either these benches aren't what they say they are, or the OC'd 1400 is having some other significant problems.

    Are you kidding? You took one frame  out of video where each benchmark has variables and compared them. Look at the video and you can see  the OC always ahead.  Grabbing one frame means nothing ,avg and minimum fps would be a far better indicator.

    ...The Shield TV has the same SoC (CPU+GPU) that's reported to be in the Switch...

     

    And it has double the CPU clock listed by the OP, one and a half the listed GPU clock when the Switch is docked, and almost 3 times the GPU clock when the Switch is undocked...

     

    There's definitely some overhead in Android, but it's not so much as to magically triple your frame rate...

    Either way people are still waiting for a new Nintendo handheld. It will be far more powerful then the 3ds. Even the nes classic has more power.

    My Shield TV running a full fat X1 connected to a permanent power supply can just barely run games from 2005 at 1080p. It plays HL2 at above 45 fps (but doesn't look anywhere near as good as it does on PC) while GTA SA cannot run at max detail 1080p without stuttering and hitching (and it still looks terrible compared to the PC version).

     

    If the Switch is going to be less powerful than the Shield TV then its going to fail hard.

    How many people bought Nvidia shields? Not many. I actually dont know a single person with one.  So tell me again why  Nintendo's new console will fail cause your shield cant play games at 1080p? And you dont even know if the performance is worse. People have been waiting for a new handheld from Nintendo.  Not a new  android handheld from nvidia. Sorry.

    The problem is not users. It's developers. It doesn't matter if you want longer battery life. The console can only succeed if they somehow manage to get third party devs onboard. That's been the message ever since the NX was originally announced. "We are making a platform where it will be easy to bring third party titles to it and ensure a wide breadth of titles for users". If developers need to go out of their way to neuter their games to get it onto the switch, that won't happen.

     

    If developers aren't making games for your system with 1/4 the power of it's competitors, switching to a system with 1/8th the power won't help encourage them.

    You have a good point. wiiu was definitely a flop in that way. No one wanted a new wii tho.  I honestly think 3rd partys will jump onboard since people have been waiting for a new Nintendo handheld. Time will tell.

    My Pixel C runs on a Tegra X1 clocked at twice this CPU speed, and over 2 times the GPU speed and I can easily get several hours of gameplay out of it... Tegras are very efficient processors, and tablets are on a completely different playing field from phones.

    My point is cutting the gpu power will significantly increase battery life.  They're not aiming for the best graphics as usual. Id rather  play my games for 8 hours then have a little extra eye candy and only get 2 hours.

  7. Wheres the Apple Watch with ios Apple?  I'm sure it will come .It's sad seeing the apple watch being recommended as the number one smart watch everywhere. Sure I guess if you use an iphone. And now that the watch makers are starting to get into the smart watch business,  I think people would much rather buy spend $600+  on a good watch brand.Would you rather a top end Apple Watch or Tag Heuer ? Thats an easy choice for me. Android has watches with full Android already also. Were waiting Apple.
