Yeah it can barely handle Breath of the Wild. Some of the new AMD APUs are really impressive, so I hope they make the jump. However for compatibility and cost I think they'll just go with an upgraded Tegra.

Yeah, BotW was cutting it close, while Tears of the Kingdom really is too much for the Switch. I got real tired of the framerate taking a dive every time I used Ultrahand.

I'm really surprised I haven't had any major framerate drops in TotK. I'm using my launch-day system, so as old as they get, and playing hand-held almost exclusively it's been pretty darn smooth.

For the few hours I bothered with totk I never had any lag either, also a launch switch. Maybe I didn't go in far enough, but it ran smoothly all the time.
