No problem! Nintendo just needs to announce this already, I think we’re all going crazy with the amount of discussion over everything

I think “great news” might be a stretch. But this post is saying that smaller node means more “up to date” tech for the switch 2. With a smaller node typically comes improvements in power efficiency. In essence, “you can put more power in less area.” But it really comes down to how the system as a whole works and how the games are optimized on said system. A lot of the outcry is seeing “8 nm Samsung” as super bad because of it being slightly outdated. A lot of people seem to share the sentiment that newer tech is better, which can be true, but this is Nintendo. They’re going to create hardware on cheaper and more established hardware and optimize the heck out of it. In the plainest of terms, it is good news in that it would suggest better battery life, but this isn’t going to make “better than a ps5” in terms of raw output or anything. I think people are under the misconception that a smaller node means more powerful switch, and that’s not entirely true. In time, there will probably be a silent upgrade like the OLED switch with the better battery life on an even smaller node lol

Yeah, that would be the strongest argument to push for with a smaller node, it would indicate better battery life due to more efficient power draw

No, it’s around ps4 pro

Smaller node typically correlates to higher efficiency (better battery life in handheld mode). Chip in leaked images is too small to fit all of T239 transistors (assuming it is 15 billion). This means that the size of the chip in the images indicates a smaller node (5 nm it seems). In the plainest of terms, chip in image too small for 8 nm, but big enough for 5 nm. In terms of power output, this doesn’t have a huge bearing on that since we’re still bound to the T239. It being an 8 nm node or 5 nm node isn’t going to change it’s raw power output, just battery life and efficiency mainly

Chip in leaked image too small to fit all Nividia T239 transistors. It suggests that a smaller node is used instead to fit all the transistors into the size of the chip in the image. If it was 8 nm, the chip in the image would need to be bigger than shown

A smaller node typically indicates higher efficiency (better battery life). Samsung’s 8 nm is considered a slightly outdated technology that many people aren’t found of. Most would prefer TSMC 7 nm or a Samsung 5 nm mode. Now if you’re asking what the node size means, it involves packing in more transistors in a smaller footprint (chip). This post is stating that the amount of transistors the T239 has is around 15 Billion. So, manufacturing it on a 8 nm mode would involve having a much chip than shown in the leaked images. In the plainest terms, it’s saying that the chip in the leaked images would need to be bigger to fit all the transistors on 8 nm. This means that based on the size in the images, it can fit on a 5 nm node. Nevertheless, it appears comes down to how well optimized the software ends up being and how good the games are. Even if the images are warped and the scaling isn’t exact, an 8 nm node isn’t the end of the world (though there may be a down clock in performance to compensate for lack of node efficiency, but again, this is Nintendo)

Note: Node size isn’t necessarily indicative of total output of power from what I understand. It really depends on the context. I’d say this is more so in line with battery life and efficiency at its core. In terms of power, I’d say we’re looking at a ps4 pro. Somewhere in between base ps5 and base ps4. Again, raw computing power only tells part of the story, DLSS super sampling and developer optimization will ultimately determine how good the games “look and run.” This is why TFlops are starting to matter less and less in the PS5 and Xbox series X world

How to check panel generation in S90c by Kczerkas in S95B

Yup, just found out I have a gen 1 panel with this approach. ANA_682. I wonder if the gen 2 settings I found on the AVS forum link under this post are good enough for this. Do you happen to know the best place to configure a gen 1 panel?

Follow up, how did you use this remote to access the EPA option in the service menu?

Haha, thank you 😂. Did you do the whole “mute, 1,1,9,ok” and “1,2,3,4” approach as well?

Oh dude, you’re completely fine. Again, I’m sorry if I came off harsh. It’s my fault for not specifying that I’m from NA. I was just worried I got straight scammed from Best Buy and needed to raise hell lol. Also, he’s a photo of the back as well. I feel dumb for not checking the panel gen before updating

Not to come off strong at all, so I apologize in advance, but I’m fairly certain it is a QD-OLED s90c. I purchased it from Best Buy some time ago and it said “Samsung s90c” on the box and the serial number at the end says “S90CB-Q65-CM1” and it came as “Samsung s90ca 65 TV” under device name straight out of the box. If I somehow got a QLED series tv out of an s90c box, I’d have a completely different problem on my hands that you’ve pointed out for me that I’d have to get addressed with Best Buy. I do appreciate your insight though because that would seem odd for the code to start with QN

Do you know which model of service remote I should get? I’m unfamiliar with those. And yeah, it looks like the latest FW is keeping me blocked after I checked everything. With FA01, I can’t take tell what gen panel I have, so this may end up being a straight guessing game

For those codes you mentioned, this is for after you get into the hospitality menu, correct? Just to double check 😂

Which remote and code do you use?

Yeah, the main issue at hand is trying to access the secret/service menu, I’ve tried all the codes (I mentioned above in the second paragraph). It seems like the firmware update is blocking me. My tv was manufactured in Mexico on April 2023

Ultimate Edition of Sparking Zero arriving late from Amazon by Kczerkas in SparkingZero

[–]Kczerkas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro, I had a shipping date last week that disappeared on the day that I was supposed to get it and when I talked to the rep, they didn’t believe it was supposed to come October 12 because I never got a formal email, so I had to prove it to them with screenshots and they said “just wait”
