        They’re using a cut down 700 series Nvidia gpu. Your phone doesn’t feel faster, it is faster.

        New Nvidia chips are very power efficient. The switch could be a powerhouse for wattage if they used a new chip but then they couldn’t pocket as much profit. And people keep buying the switch anyways it seems. No matter that Zelda TOTK runs like a laggy potato.
