New Leaks Emerge for Nintendo Switch 2
With new leaks headlining, speculations of the highly awaited Nintendo Switch 2 continue to grow. After yesterday’s leaked images of the console’s controller came fresh leaks. This time around, a Nintendo Switch 2 case and some tempered glass screen protectors appeared on Alibaba, the Chinese e-commerce platform. In no time, the images traveled to Reddit, where the discussion began on the legitimacy of those images.
Although it is hard to confirm their authenticity, the increasing frequency in which such discoveries are turning up hints that more people are now getting a hold of the product.
A Long Wait for an Official Announcement
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been in the rumor mill for a few years now, and fans and industry insiders alike have been waiting for any official information. Despite the wait, Nintendo has reassured the public that the new hardware will be unveiled before the end of its fiscal year, which is to wrap up in March 2025. If that holds true, it will come on the eighth anniversary of the original Nintendo Switch, which launched in March 2017.
Technical Specifications: What We Know So Far
While Nintendo hasn’t confirmed any of these details yet, leaks have given us a glimpse into what might be inside the Switch 2. The console will reportedly be powered by the NVIDIA Tegra T239 chipset, featuring an Ampere-based GPU with 1280 CUDA cores and an 8-core ARM Cortex A78 CPU. Other specs include 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, arranged as two 6GB modules, and 256GB of internal storage.
These upgrades are considerable improvements over the original Switch. For instance, the RAM would increase threefold, and the storage capacity would increase eightfold compared to the first model or fourfold compared to the OLED revision.
Advanced Features: DLSS and Ray Tracing
But one of the more intriguing factors of the Switch 2 will be its support for higher-end NVIDIA technologies, if rumored. The chipset reportedly brings along NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling or DLSS Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction, hinting at ray tracing, for example. But Frame Generation tech by NVIDIA might not make it to the console.
But even if it’s weaker than the weakest console of the current generation—the Xbox Series S—the Switch 2 will most likely still do wonders in performance. For years, Nintendo has been really good at optimizing games to work best with its hardware, which regularly sees its systems punch well above their weight.
Looking Ahead
With leaks still coming out, one can expect anticipation for the Nintendo Switch 2. Hopefully, an update from Nintendo will soon come to put speculation to rest among both fans and industry onlookers. Boasting the capability for bleeding-edge hardware and unique features, it could mark another milestone in Nintendo’s legendary gaming legacy.
