Nintendo NX GPU/CPU/Memory Allegedly More Powerful Than PS4 “By A Noticeable Amount”

Nintendo NX GPU/CPU/Retentivity Allegedly More Powerful Than PS4 "By A Noticeable Corporeality"

Another Nintendo NX rumor has surfaced, which claims that the NX will exist more powerful than the PS4, "by a noticeable amount". This applies to the console'due south GPU, CPU, and it'south retentivity.

The rumor comes from Neogaf user, 10K, who posted the alleged NX details in a Nintendo NX thread verified by the GAF moderators. 10K made a tiered ranking to add together some additional weight to the leak in question.

While a tier 1 ranking doesn't mean that it'due south a false rumor, a tier 4 ranking has multiple sources backing upwards the rumor/leak.

The most interesting office of 10K'due south mail service, revolves effectually the hardware of the NX, which allegedly is "noticeable" more powerful than Sony's PS4. The rumor concerning the Wii U remasters is also quite interesting, even more than so if you consider that these 'ports' were also recently mentioned past Nintendo insider, Emily Rogers.

As usual, have the following info with a grain (or a bag?) of common salt. Here goes:

T4 Rumors
The NX will be more powerful than the PS4. "Past a noticeable corporeality". From the CPU, to GPU, to RAM. Sources don't know the clock speeds, or memory blazon or corporeality of retentivity. Merely if the CPU is fifteen-30% stronger than PS4 as alluded to by LCGeek, than the GPU would need to match that bump in social club to not bottleneck (Nintendo hates their bottlenecks).

The Wii U Remasters. 100% confirmed Smash Bros 4 will come to NX, no word on if you can play with Wii U players.

Zelda is 100% confirmed and non really big news 😛

Now here is where things get interesting. Ane source said 100% for certain Mario Maker was coming to NX. Another source said l%. Why fifty%? Well, they tin can confirm it's in development, Nintendo is struggling to transfer over player data and doesn't desire all courses to exist lost. Hell, courses are being mysteriously deleted on Wii U already lol.

The fourth remaster is Splatoon. This one was given 50% risk from ii sources and 99% from one source lol. The reasons over again are, Nintendo is struggling to transfer all role player information and make it cross-compatible with Wii U players besides. It is in development though. They should have all he DLC included.

And then, Zelda and Boom for sure, Mario Maker and Splatoon maybe. If Nintendo tin't get it working they may scrap it.

Smash is rumored for launch along with Zelda (twenty-four hour period or window wasn't specified). Not certain on Mario Maker or Splatoon.

What's interesting about this is Splatoon and Mario Maker heavily use touch controls and motion controls. While I certainly wait the NX controller to utilize gyroscope and accelerometers (since even the DS4, Wii U gamepad, Wii remotes and 3DS use it) this may indicate that there will be a screen in the NX controller. None of my sources indicated troubled development of splatoon and mario maker were controls related, so either it has a screen controller or the 2nd screen support hinted at past the reddit leaker in the OP was right and there volition be some kind of optional screen controller or smartglass like features.

T2 Rumors
NDA'south are tight as hell. This one is obvious. But I just wanted to add together to it. While young man posters like Rosti accept indicated how heavy they are, my own sources and people I don't fifty-fifty know have warned me privately to picket what I post here (this was all within the last couple of hours lol). One source said they know more Nintendo hardware people than software people, yet the only leaks they've been able to get is on the software side. Non a peep from the hardware guys.

I even had people asking what the contents of my post were going to be, if names, job positions, marketing budgets (lol) were going to exist posted. A lot of people got very worried, including my sources, the fright of Nintendo is real. They are great down. The faux leaks aren't helping either.

As someone who just started snooping for NX info and asking questions out of general curiosity for being a fan, I wasn't expecting this much info over the last two weeks or then. Merely, now that I am, I desire to proceeds my sources respect and and so I didn't want divulge their identity or even reveal their gender. I promise this post has gained their trust, and know that their ID'due south are safe and audio with me.

T1 Rumors
NX SDK's are out at that place right now and my sources can confirm dev's take them, and then don't worry likewise much about when you lot hear stuff like nobody has a dev kit yet.
The NX is easy to port too. This is large because Nintendo consoles accept commonly been hard to develop or and only mastered by Nintendo'southward internal teams. Patently, some dev's are having no problem porting current gen games over. It'south a quick procedure and dev'due south seem to be happy about information technology.

The NX architecture is nether NDA simply is highly speculated to be x86. I disagreed with them on this merely they made some splendid points about how porting from ARM to x86 (handheld to console) and x86 to x86 (electric current PS4 and XB1 games to NX) is very easy, while it's a scrap more tricky to become from x86 to ARM (panel to handheld). It certainly matches what the reddit leaker posted.
Based off my high school programming skills and some research, it seems similar x86 to ARM does require more piece of work, x86 is 64-bit and ARM is 32-bit. Merely any decent compiler supports 64-bit math on ARM. The dev'south mainly recompile the code into ARM, and and then the integer values go changed, and fix any errors that come up up, recompile again, see if it works, rinse and echo. Information technology'southward non as important or inefficient as people recall, particularly for larger devs. Besides, ARM is heavily supported and the more worked on architecture. So don't get too focused on if it's x86 or ARM. In the cease, equally long as it'due south non shitty PowerPC (Nintendo, delight, no) it'll be fine. It won't be the reason Nintendo won't get third political party ports, if anything, NX sales will.

One affair that contradicts x86, and this is an indirect source, only a coder who works specifically for Nintendo laughed off GAF'south focus on x86 and how nosotros know nada. Please don't go looking for them, DetectiveGAF, let them keep their chore. So, that, combined with ARM probable being in the handheld, makes me believe the NX will use ARM. But like I said, at the stop of the twenty-four hour period it doesn't really matter.

Nobody knows anything about the handheld. At least, non any of my sources or their sources. Not fifty-fifty sure if NX refers to the handheld as well or if that has a different codename. Information technology's speculated that it will notwithstanding become some sectional games, simply won't get many console games downported (referring to the shared games library) while the console could theoretically play them all (possibly lending support to x86 and ARM within the NX, having the handheld guts within, but that sounds very expensive and I doubt it). The console seems to exist the main focus of Nintendo right at present and the New 3DS, along with the 2022 lineup of 3DS, has afforded them that luxury.

The rumor that the Nintendo NX will be more powerful than the Playstation 4, besides popped up some weeks ago. If yous're interested in an a compiled overview of electric current NX leaks/rumors, check out this mail service right here.
