5 Features We’d Want From a New Nintendo Switch
Higher RAM Speed
For all of its impressive design and accessibility features, the Nintendo Switch does have areas in terms of its tech where it could improve. Case in point: The Switch’s memory bandwidth speed is 26.5 GB/s, which is considerably lower than that of the PlayStation 4 (176 GB/s) or Xbox One (68.3 GB/s).
That’s to say nothing of their newer models, the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, both of which increase this significantly.
Improving the Switch’s RAM would surely have a big impact on how software runs on the system. Consider the dicey framerate that blighted Breath of the Wild, for example.
With better ram, the vast expanses in Xenoblade Chronicles and the sweeping galactic vistas offered through Super Mario Odyssey would look and play better. Not only that, but it could also prove itself a suitable console for ports of today’s hottest (and more demanding) AAA franchises, from Assassin’s Creed to the upcoming Red Dead Redemption.
