In terms of power consumption and actual ability what are ARM processors are better or worse? I know that was confusing. I'm interested in comparing these processor:

  • The New 3DS XL
  • 3DS XL
  • PS Vita
  • Snapdragon 810
  • Snapdragon 820
  • Tegra K1
  • Tegra X1
  • A9
  • A9X
  • A8X
  • any others you feel like adding

I am looking at both CPU performance and GPU performance. Mainly I was wondering because I didn't understand why Nintendo or Sony just didn't put an actually powerful processor in there systems. I am guessing it is due to price, profit, no need, power consumption, etc. but I would like to know more and hear what you think.

 

resolutions being 1080p60 and 1440p60

and lets say it has the same cooling as a Galaxy S7 or Lumia 950 XL

Handhandles don't need that much power because of the OS and the screen resolutions, everything else is power hungry and handles I heck of a lot screen resolutions.

I'm basically asking why Nintendo didn't stick a Tegra X1 in there handheld and basically get the same power as a Wii U or Wii

1_They're nintendo ( that probably explains half of it )

2_cost ( both the 3ds and shield cost ~200$ ,but nintendo would have to buy them from nvidia and that would cost more )

3-size : the shield devices are quite a bit larger than the 3ds.

AMD Ryzen R7 1700 (3.8ghz) w/ NH-D14, EVGA RTX 2080 XC (stock), 4*4GB DDR4 3000MT/s RAM, Gigabyte AB350-Gaming-3 MB, CX750M PSU, 1.5TB SDD + 7TB HDD, Phanteks enthoo pro case

depends a lot n what size/resolution they are working on in terms of power consumption

 

PD: i can't wait for snapdragon 830 :D 

  1. That explains half the things they do
  2. your right
  3. i still feel cooling could be fixed because after all they fit a Tegra X1 in that Pixel C from Google and that is thinner, plus you wouldn't have to deal with the screen heat

lastly, why can't they just make a powerful product!!!

Because  they´re fucking Nintendo. They don´t make the bleeding edge blazing hardware, they make fucking amazing games and let that carry them. Not how many pixels they can stuff on the screen.

True, you can't compete with Nintendo Games
