New Switch 2 specs show large performance dip in undocked mode
Briefly

The article discusses the technical specifications and potential performance enhancements of the Switch 2, highlighting its adjustable clock speeds for GPU and CPU, which can lead to improved graphics and loading times. However, it notes that 25% of CPU cores and memory are reserved for system use. Key new features include Game Chat, which could affect system performance. Additionally, the Switch 2 introduces a File Decompression Engine to manage game data more efficiently. The article expresses eagerness for performance comparisons when the console is launched.
Digital Foundry suggests that the Switch 2's clock speeds can theoretically be raised, potentially enhancing graphics and loading times, similar to the original Switch's updates.
Despite 25% of CPU cores and memory being reserved for OS functions, new features like Game Chat significantly impact system resources, affecting development and performance.
