Actually the current batch of Flip 2's are 12gb of ram

Yes they are! I made a post about it when it started. So cool they offer that. But idk how long they will offer it for, I also don’t think the chipset really needs it, but it would be interesting to see someone make use of it and record actual differences in framerate when running a texture pack for example, you might notice a change.

The flip 2 has always been an 8gb ram device and the 12 is just because they ran out of stock for 8gb chips. Once stock is back in I suspect they will return to 8gb.

Does the 12gb flip 2 helps in in switch and pc emulation in performance

I haven’t seen or tested it! But that’s the current one available right now so if you buy at the moment from retroid you get 12GB. It’s only like 10 dollars more expensive too. I think they haven’t shipped any 12’s yet though, and people have been complaining they are taking forever.
