Orin for Switch 2, then. If there was any doubt. I wonder whether the 8-core/1024 CUDA/32 Tensor configuration can effectively output 4K upscaled from 1080p using DLSS.
" heretofore secret"? ie previously secret? (Well, kinda sorta. I mean we knew the name a year ago, and it's not like we now know anything more than just the name...)
If nintendo sticks to the switch formfactor, then it'll be a limited version. Power today is about 7,5W for handheld and i think it's about 20W docked.
Specs above says 60W so that is a LOT of a difference.
i think the current chips i rated at little more than 20W
Just doubling the performance doesn't seem to warrant the code name change. The Xavier and Orin specs were rejiggered after the first announcement without the code names being changed. Perhaps the major change that was made was the replacement of INT8 with FP8. That means removing or redesigning the NVDLA CNN accelerators. As far as the GPU, if Atlan was Ampere-Next it should have had access to the FP8 tensor cores already, but it's possible they weren't originally planned to be included on the SoC version of the architecture.
Über eine Million Autos auf der Straße mit "allen" Geräten, die sie brauchen, und bald Hunderttausende von Betatestern, Millionen von Datenkilometern, Einnahmen aus FSD-Käufen und FSD-Abonnements - was glauben Sie, wer am Ende die Nase vorn haben wird? Kein Führer erforderlich! Wetten Sie nicht gegen Ilon!

"Arm’s hereto-secretive Poseidon CPU core"hereto-secretive?

Yes it should be "heretofore". "Hereto" means something else, apparently (I looked it up).name99 - Tuesday, September 20, 2022 - link
I first read this as "hetero-secretive" which is even harder to parse! Are our CPUs now coming out as shy about their sexuality :-)olde94 - Tuesday, September 20, 2022 - link

Orin can be configured as low as 15 W.brucethemoose - Wednesday, September 21, 2022 - link
No way. Orin is way too big and too expensive for Nintendo. Same with Xavier.They are probably going to use Tegra X2, without feeling even a hint of shame :P

Atlan would’ve been expensive. Orin in 2024/2025 might not be for Nintendo. It can also be configured small (8 cores, 1024 CUDA; 15 W).Yojimbo - Tuesday, September 20, 2022 - link
