Entering Development with Nintendo Switch 2 In early 2019It may not come as a surprise that the hardware chip may have been finalized in the beginning of 2021.
Digital foundry Combined conclusions by Gikarwan And CoolWho acquired a switch 2 motherboard (from an online retailer in China) and has fully analyzed the technology. And the pair suggested that the hardware was finalized four years ago. If this is true, it means that the nintendo has been holding the chip since then.
While T239 shares similarities with T234 of Nvidia, there are many significant differences. Apparently, the chip is potentially running with characteristics on an 8Nm processor that are potentially spread up to 10nm. In the launch model of the chip CDDEck, the chip is more than 40 mm 2 compared to the chip, which is coming on 207 mm2.
The chip basic cause is much larger than the switch 2 original switch, as it has more than 75% compared to its chip of the current console and doubles the area of chips in the light and modified models.
Does this mean that switch 2 could be revealed in early 2022? PerhapsDigital Foundry made some interesting notes, however – that possible work on the chip (throughout 2020) when the nintendo switch began to roam with rumors, although the chip was not named until June 2021.
Even if the hardware itself was ready – DF states that “silicon” often comes about a year before the launch of a console – the team suspects that one of the causes of switch 2 was not unveiled earlier, because, bus, nintendo did not need it. The switch was, and still, widely popular, and back in 2021, it was only a four -year -old console with a lot of new software launching.
Given that it may take years to develop chips, switch 2 schemes starting in 2019, in fact line up with the rest of the information we have. In fact, it is a mixture of changing all the above and plans.
We are only weeks away from the console at this point, so we are excited to see hardware in action. You can see a digital foundry chat about the processor in this week’s DF Direct.
Last week, Nintendo shared its Q4 Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Report and revealed that this financial year expected from Switch 2 to sell 15 million units. Analysts also expect a new console to launch record-breaking. This is one Very T239s in the hands of people.
