RedGamingTech has recently joined the bandwagon of Nintendo Switch 2 leak revelations, shedding light on some exciting potential specifications of the highly anticipated hybrid gaming console. While the information should be taken with a pinch of salt, given the anonymous sources, the speculated specs have created a buzz among gaming enthusiasts.
The leaks, as reported by the popular YouTuber, include details about the CPU and GPU upgrades, as well as the possibility of the console featuring 12 to 16 GB of RAM and Tegra X1 backwards compatibility. If these leaks prove to be true, the Nintendo Switch 2 could be a significant improvement over its predecessor.
In terms of the CPU, it is suggested that the Nintendo Switch 2 might feature a MediaTek-based configuration with 2x Cortex-A4 cores, 2x Cortex-A720 cores, and 4x Cortex-A520 cores. These specifications hint at a powerful and efficient chip that could outperform the current Tegra T239 “Drake” processor.
Moreover, the rumored CPU components offer a substantial upgrade over the previously anticipated Nintendo Switch successor. The Cortex-A720 cores, in particular, are believed to deliver 10% more performance than the earlier rumored Cortex-A78 cores. The use of a more efficient architecture in the Cortex-A4 cores further enhances the potential of the alleged CPU part.
Moving on to the GPU, reports suggest that the Nintendo Switch 2 might boast 12 to 16 streaming multiprocessors (SM) based on the Ada Lovelace microarchitecture. In contrast, the outdated Tegra T239 “Drake” processor relies on Ampere architecture. If the leaks are accurate, the Switch 2 could offer more power, greater efficiency, DLSS 3 frame generation, and fourth-generation Tensor cores.
While these leaks may raise expectations among gaming enthusiasts, it is important to approach them with a level of skepticism. However, if the speculated specifications do come to fruition, the Nintendo Switch 2 could potentially match the gaming performance of the PS5 and Xbox Series S.
The video by RedGamingTech also hinted at ongoing developments between Nvidia and Nintendo, suggesting that the two companies might have collaborated on potential hardware revisions for the Switch 2.
Although nothing has been confirmed by Nintendo, these leaks indicate that the release of the much-anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 might be closer than expected. As the gaming community eagerly awaits an official announcement, the rumored advancements in CPU, GPU, and RAM suggest a promising future for Nintendo’s hybrid gaming console.
Note: The Nintendo Switch is available for purchase on Amazon.
