Possible Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware Detail Revealed in New Report
11.02.2024 - 01:03 / gamerant.com / Nintendo
A recent report has revealed a potential hardware-related collaboration between Nvidia and Nintendo for the next generation of Nintendo consoles. The Switch 2, the successor to the popular Switch handheld, is rumored to be revealed as early as next month, with developers already believed to be preparing for games for the new console.
Last year, reputable leaker Nate the Hate hinted that the potential Nintendo Switch 2 would support NVIDIA DLSS 3.5 AI-powered Ray Reconstruction for improved ray tracing, bringing it on par with current-generation consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. However, to the disappointment of many, he also revealed that the new Nintendo console might not be supported by Frame Generation, an NVIDIA DLSS feature that boosts frame rates.
According to a Reuters report, the newer version of the Switch console will be powered by a custom Nvidia chip. Reuters’ insider sources also indicate that the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch successor will likely boast a custom Nvidia design, building on the existing relationship that sees Nvidia's Tegra X1 chip used in the current Switch model.
Nvidia's entrance into custom chip design marks a strategic pivot in response to the shifting landscape of the generative AI sector. The company's flagship H100 and A100 chips have long been the cornerstone for tech behemoths like OpenAI, Microsoft, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms, supporting their solutions in the competitive generative AI space. However, as more companies opt for internally developed chips to meet specific needs—aiming to optimize power efficiency and reduce costs—Nvidia seems to respond with custom designs while maintaining its flagship gaming hardware like RTX 4090 GPUs.
While the potential partnership between Nintendo and Nvidia illustrates the industry's shift toward specialized, custom-designed chips, it also reflects a broader trend where console performance and efficiency are prioritized, as doing so allows for gaming experiences like Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty DLC that are both more immersive and visually compelling,
The growing anticipation for Switch 2 hardware details underscores the community's hopes for a console that leverages the latest tech to push the envelope of what's possible. Nintendo's decision to maintain secrecy will surely keep the community's interest piqued, with speculation about the Switch 2’s release date and price sure to continue until a reveal happens.
The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid portable and home console that aims to be the only gaming system anyone needs. The hybrid controller is an undisputed success because it provides a high degree of portable visual quality and converts easily into a home console.
