Newer gaming community-generated proposals have suggested a shift to Samsung’s 5 nm EUV node—mostly based on the chipset’s physical footprint. In sharp contrast, the Digital Foundry guys are sticking with their 8 nm theory.

    If Digital Foundry is correct, then Nintendo is using a node from around ~5 years ago. Nvidia’s 3000 series were fabbed on Samsung’s 8 nm node.

      isn’t the GPU Ampere? aka 3000 series, which was 8nm as you say

      would be kinda crazy if both the arch and the node are so old, I’m really hoping for a decent new Shield TV…

      but the current Shield TV is Maxwell and 16nm lol so anything would be an upgrade at this point
