The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

    One thing about the 12GB of RAM: it may be costly now, but it will become cheaper after three, four years into the cycle.

    Second, there is also the bandwidth. The Steam Deck has 32x4GB LPDDR5. I believe they wanted 8GB but DLSS and ML (if they add them to the next SoC) require at least 4GB plus. Hence, 32x4GB (96 bits). If the Steam Deck can get away with slightly more, then why not slightly less.

    So yes, I can see this device with 12GB of RAM to ensure DLSS and ML work without hitches.
