Someone showed real parts from a Nintendo Switch 2 today. The person bought the console early through unofficial sellers. A video gives us our first look at the main computer board inside the system. Tests prove the brain chip measures 207mm², almost twice as large as the first Switch chip. This chip dates back to 2021, which tells us Nintendo finished it years ago.
The graphics part uses Ampere technology but seems more like Ada Lovelace with an unusual layout. It comes with 1536 CUDA cores spread across six TPCs with two SMs each. This setup appears similar to mid-range laptop graphics cards. The manufacturing process sits between 8nm and 10nm of Samsung technology. The chip size exceeds the RTX 3050 Ti mobile GPU.
The Nintendo Switch 2 hits stores June 5 worldwide. Various preview articles provide more details about the system. The early hardware leak confirms rumors about units selling before launch at very high prices. Computer experts cannot easily predict how the system will perform just based on these specs.
