It highlights the GPU's strong performance, running games like *Kingdom Deliverance 2* and *COD* with DLSS optimization, achieving smooth frame rates even in handheld mode. Despite the CPU's relatively low clock speed, its multi-core performance is sufficient for gaming, with optimization playing a key role. Comparisons with mobile and PC CPUs reveal that the Switch 2 can perform well, especially with developer-targeted optimizations, making it a promising console for gaming enthusiasts.

Takeaways

• 😀 The Switch 2's GPU performance shows decent potential, capable of running demanding titles like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 at 30-40 FPS in handheld mode with optimization techniques like DLSS.
• 😀 Games like COD (Call of Duty) can run at over 50 FPS on the Switch 2 with super performance DLSS, although multiplayer FPS games typically require 60 FPS for smooth play.
• 😀 The CPU in the Switch 2, an 8-core A78C running at 1.1GHz (and even lower in base mode), is relatively weak compared to modern CPUs but still adequate for console gaming when optimized.
• 😀 The multi-core performance of the Switch 2's CPU is not as strong as its GPU, and it falls behind compared to devices like the Steam Deck, but console games can still run well with developer optimization.
• 😀 While the Switch 2's CPU performance is lower than some current mobile processors, it can still handle console games well when optimized, showing similar performance to older PC CPUs at lower clock speeds.
• 😀 Despite the relatively low CPU power, games like *Doom Eternal* and *Black Myth: Wukong* can run smoothly with well-optimized drivers, taking advantage of the console's hardware.
• 😀 The Switch 2's CPU performs better than expected for gaming purposes, even when compared to downclocked, older PC CPUs like the i7-10700KF at 1.4GHz.
• 😀 The Switch 2 can handle mobile game performance with reasonable results, although mobile games often struggle to maintain consistent frame rates on hardware like the Dimensity 8400-Max, which is similar to the Switch 2's CPU.
• 😀 Developers have the ability to optimize the Switch 2's hardware, meaning performance could improve further over time with targeted updates and optimization strategies.
• 😀 The Switch 2 is expected to deliver a solid gaming experience, thanks to a good balance of CPU and GPU performance, with a focus on GPU-driven gaming and optimizations for smoother gameplay.
• 😀 Even with modest CPU specs, the Switch 2 shows promising potential for gaming, especially when considering the historical performance limitations of previous consoles like the PS4 and original Switch.

Q & A

What is the main focus of the video script?

The video script focuses on analyzing the hardware and performance of the Switch 2, particularly its GPU and CPU performance, and compares it to other systems like the Steam Deck and mobile phones.

How does the GPU of the Switch 2 perform according to the script?

The GPU of the Switch 2, based on the T239 chip, shows a significant improvement over the original Switch, running demanding games like *Kingdom Deliverance 2* and *Call of Duty: Warzone 2* at stable frame rates, especially with DLSS support.

What resolution and settings were tested for games on Switch 2?

Games were tested in handheld mode with 720p resolution at medium quality and performance mode using DLSS for improved frame rates. In base mode, 1080p at medium quality was used, with performance DLSS allowing for smooth gaming at 30-40 FPS.

How does the CPU performance of the Switch 2 compare to other systems?

The Switch 2’s CPU, an 8-core A78C running at 1.1GHz, offers weaker multi-core performance than the Steam Deck's quad-core Zen2 CPU. However, it still performs adequately in gaming scenarios due to optimization by developers.

What limitations were identified with the Switch 2's CPU?

The Switch 2's CPU, running at a low frequency of 1.1GHz, is not very powerful, especially in multi-core performance, making it weaker than current mobile CPUs and older PC processors. However, its performance can be improved with developer optimization.

How does the CPU performance of the Switch 2 compare to the Steam Deck?

The multi-core performance of the Switch 2's CPU is about 66% weaker than the Steam Deck's quad-core Zen2 CPU, which already performs below high-end standards. This shows that the Switch 2's CPU is not designed for heavy processing tasks.

What is the potential for optimization in the Switch 2's performance?

There is a large potential for optimization in the Switch 2, particularly in reducing graphical fidelity and fine-tuning the CPU's performance, which could allow the console to run games smoothly despite its lower-end CPU.

What performance comparison was made to demonstrate the Switch 2's gaming capabilities?

The performance of the Switch 2 was compared to a downclocked Intel i7-10700KF CPU running at 1.4GHz, which showed that the CPU could still run demanding games like *Cyberpunk 2077* and *Black Myth: Wukong* at decent frame rates, despite its lower power.

Can the Switch 2 run mobile games smoothly?

The Switch 2 should be able to run many mobile games smoothly, with a performance comparison to the Realme Neo7 SE (which uses a similar CPU) showing that certain games, such as *Xumi Castle*, run at 30-40 FPS, though frame drops can occur during intense scenes.

Why is the CPU performance not a major concern for the Switch 2 in gaming?

The CPU performance in the Switch 2 is not a major concern because the console's main tasks are logical operations and drawing calls, which can be optimized by developers to reduce the impact of lower CPU performance on gaming experiences.
