Plus Nvidia already makes the soc for the Nintendo switch which is significantly more successful than the steam deck.

Therefore, while it can be determined that China has a larger area excluding coastal and territorial waters, it is unclear which country has a larger area including coastal and territorial waters.

The US is bigger than China according to every source I found.

Why does this image use the numbers for the entire US but only shows the continental US?

They probably will use an Nvidia chip, every leak suggests they're going to use the T239 and even if they don't use that chip specifically it would make sense to use an Nvidia chip, because like you said, nobody else really makes good mobile gpus.

Way back in June 2021, noted technology leaker kopite7kimi posted a detailed picture of Nvidia's T234 processor, revealing for the first time that Nintendo would be receiving a customised variant, dubbed T239. In the two years that followed, a wealth of overwhelming evidence has essentially confirmed that they were right. The T239 is an advanced mobile processor, based on an octo-core ARM A78C CPU cluster, paired with a custom graphics unit based on Nvidia's RTX 30-series Ampere architecture, combined with some backported elements from the latest Ada Lovelace GPUs - and with an all-new file decompression engine for fast engine. It also supports Nvidia's console-specific graphics API, all but confirming that it's destined for the next generation Switch.

You couldn’t put a ps4 amount of power through that no matter how much fan you gave it

The steam deck is already about as powerful as a ps4 though? Also, the switch uses arm which is more efficient.

The dock could take care of that.

But it’s not just a handheld is it? I imagine they would unlock the wattage only when docked.

The leaks say ps4/ps4 pro levels of performance + games will be optimized specifically for it so it might end up running games better than the steam deck.

It doesn’t download the game if you have a physical copy. I just checked my switch and my physical copy of botw is using 0 mb of storage.

Yeah I think they should’ve at least color coded each console with the companies color instead of picking arbitrary colors.
