FFXIV FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH

[Bladesinger]

No. It is the size of a tablet, so there is likely no active cooling solution. That fact alone gives strong hints to the type of power you're looking at. It will have to be a very low voltage processing core, in order to give it a decent battery life but more importantly to keep heat down.

It doesn't need one - the architecture is flash memory based and would require next to no cooling

The only site that is to be trusted right now in regards to THE SPEC is Nintendo and any other site that works with developers who have their hands on the kits to make or port games =\

Speculate all you want, GI.biz has several developers with switch kits in house saying this kit is on par with the xbox one which would provide more then enough horsepower to run FFXIV and just about anything else on the market

No, the storage may not need cooling, but the CPU/GPU sure will. Its as he said, they will be incredibly low voltage to not overheat without active cooling.

And that *will* restrict performance with the CPU/GPU sandwiched between the screen and battery, there is next to no opportunity for cooling except through heat conducting through the batter, screen and casing. Performance will be clock limited due to this.

It's a new architecture used, we have ZERO idea of how cooling will work.
