Summary

  • The Nintendo Switch 2 console will include a custom Nvidia processor, believed to be a hacker port of the powerful Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU, according to ARS Technica.
  • While specific details of the new gadget’s chip are undisclosed, Nvidia has confirmed that it will incorporate its Ray-Tracing Cores and Tensor Cores, supporting advanced graphics and AI-driven enhancements.
  • This will allow Nintendo Switch 2 to run games at 4K resolution, and to upscale lower-resolution images without significantly impacting performance or quality.

  • Nintendo has not yet released any details regarding the price or launch date for the Switch 2.
