    They’re supposedly using pretty much the same chipset. So the most important part is still underpowered, these Android boxes generally work fine even with 2-3GBs of RAM.

        It’s supposed to use S905X3 with ARM Cortex-A55.

        There’s already plenty of devices on the market with this chip, and it’s fine, but in real world as a user you won’t really see any improvement over something like a nearly 10 year old Nvidia Shield that’s still using a more powerful chipset.

        Which is sad for a new device…

          Does Nvidia even make new mobile chipsets still? At least… Relatively cheaply? I know there’s something of an Nvidia tax.

            I don’t think so. Maybe they’ll have something new for the next Nintendo Switch?

            In fact, the Shield is using the same chip as the Switch (same for the newer revisions).
