According to the latest rumors, the Nintendo Switch 2 may already be in the hands of developers. A prominent leaker revealed that his sources are even under NDA with the company. So, after waiting years for a new handheld console, Nintendo fans, things are finally heating up. We now have information about the leaked specifications of the Nintendo Switch 2. So let's discuss what the leak reveals about the potential CPU and GPU that could power the Nintendo Switch 2.
This new Nintendo Switch 2 leak is exciting!
The new leak comes from X-user Nerolipe, and it talks about some key details that point towards an Nvidia GPU to be used for the Switch 2. We know from a previous leak that the company had previewed the Switch 2 handheld for developers at Gamescom 2023, behind closed doors. In that leak, it was noted that the graphics quality was "on par" with modern consoles such as the PS5.
Nerolipe, who is a Nintendo journalist, mentions that his sources saw the tech demo of Nintendo's upcoming handheld at Gamescom 2023, and it used DLLS 3.1 technology. The leak also added that ray tracing may also be possible on the Switch 2, with the RAM for this Nvidia GPU at 12GB. It was not specified if this is GDDR6 equivalent or something else.
Having the power to insert artificially generated frames powered by Nvidia's DLSS 3 seriously increases the potential for how impressive the graphics can be in future Nintendo games played on their upcoming Switch 2 console. It would be great to have the PDA with this kind of upgraded specs.
