Leaked Specifications of the Next-Generation Nintendo Switch 2 Revealed
Key Highlights :
Rumors have been swirling regarding the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2, with select developers being shown The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild running near 4K at 60FPS on the console. Now, leaked information has revealed the expected specifications of the Nintendo Switch 2, which include an Ampere-Lovelace hybrid chip that will be able to reach near Xbox Series S speeds when docked.
It is believed that the Nintendo Switch 2 will be adopting an NVIDIA SoC that will bolster an Ampere-based GPU that will enable DLSS and make the console much more powerful compared to Microsoft and Sony's consoles. Leaked emails between Activision and Nintendo have backed up these theories, stating that the performance of the next-generation Switch would be closer to the PS4 / Xbox One.
The YouTuber RedGamingTech has acquired exclusive information about the Nintendo Switch 2 specifications, which suggest that when docked, the console will be able to reach near Xbox Series S speeds. This can be attributed to NVIDIA's DLSS, and when enabled, the Nintendo Switch 2 will come within 15% of the Xbox Series X performance. In handheld mode, the console is expected to have performance similar to an ASUS ROG Ally handheld.
These rumors should be taken with a healthy amount of skepticism, as nothing has been officially announced by Nintendo. However, the information provided by RedGamingTech lines up with previous rumors that have been circulating, suggesting that the next-generation Nintendo Switch 2 will be a much more powerful console than its predecessor.
