​Как «провальный» чип Nvidia спас Nintendo Switch

Many call the Nintendo Switch hardware outdated and its Nvidia Tegra processor a "smart refrigerator chip." In this video, we'll prove why this is the biggest misconception in the gaming industry, and how Nvidia's biggest failure became the heart of a console that has sold over 155 million units. We'll go back to 2012, when the silicon monster Tegra 3 literally melted the casings of flagship smartphones like the HTC One X, losing out to the cool Qualcomm chips. We'll explore the turbulent times of Nvidia processors, their use in Tesla Autopilot systems and TV set-top boxes, and the brilliant move by Nintendo engineers to add a cooler to a mobile chip and turn the tide of the console wars. Why does the Switch Lite last longer than the original? Why does a portable device need active cooling? Why do modern flagships from Apple and Samsung still suffer from overheating when playing demanding AAA games? Find all the answers in this episode on FONOM. ​Be sure to watch to the end to find out what insiders are promising us in the Nintendo Switch 2!
