It's not realistic, Switch consumes more than 12w in Cyberpunk, they put the best number for switch 2, 8-10w is only running old NS1 games.

It doesn't matter. The fact that steam deckers were quick to say "I'll emulate the games on SD instead bla bla" is the real test. No easy emulation this time around.

Nintendo real power is games. 150 million vs 3 or 4.

Nintendo doesn't have 150 million games, what are you smoking?. you do realize there are more games in Steam currently than Nintendo's entire catalog history right? And trust that switch emulation absolutely beats native switch play, that's not even up for debate. Nintendos total of TWO switch exclusive games means there's no reason to emulate Switch 2 yet. Nintendo fanboys love to lie to win this fake gaming war lmao. y'all lost well before the switch 2 was ever released

It would have been fairer and interesting to compare Steamdeck LCD version with Switch 2....

Swing and a miss.

This video only tested switch 2's low tdp, or portable tdp, against steamdeck oleds full TDP range. It specifically stated as such in the video.

As he stated in the video, he is not testing switch 2's high TDP against sdoled, because it's a complete and absolute sluaghter, to the point of being pointless.

So no, soled does not lead at 24 watts, it gets obliterated by switch 2's 20 watt tdp.

<a </a>

Steamdeck max TDP = 15w,

What they're using as a metric is 20w tdp is the consumption of the entire system including the screen vs the theoretical NS2 number that only counts the SoC. In short, manipulation.
