Nintendo picked Samsung to make chips for the Switch 2 after looking at several options. The company chose Samsung SEC8N over TSMC because Samsung offered better prices and faster delivery times. Nintendo considered both Samsung's 5nm and 8nm processes before settling on 8nm. This choice saves money because it uses simpler equipment and produces more working chips. A future upgraded Switch model might use the 5nm process instead.
Recent leaks revealed final details about the Switch 2 hardware, which match what people heard earlier this year about the system. New information shows exactly how many CPU cores and memory games can use. The SDK contains a special tool to test voice chat without needing other players. This feature apparently needs significant system resources to work properly. The Nintendo Switch 2 arrives in stores on June 5 across most countries.
