TL;DR: A teardown of the newly announced Nintendo Switch 2 has seemingly confirmed key hardware specs not yet officially announced. According to screenshots published by a reliable hardware modder, the device uses an Nvidia Tegra processor and SK Hynix memory. The teardown was performed by YouTuber and X user @KurnalSalts, known for his deep dive videos on Arm chips used in smartphones, laptops, AR headsets, and other gadgets. According to his since-deleted post, the Switch 2 is powered by Nvidia's Tegra T239 SoC, which comes with an Arm Cortex X1 HP-core, three Cortex A78 performance cores, and four Cortex A55 efficiency cores, paired with a custom Ampere-based GPU with 12 SMs and 1,536 CUDA cores. The tipster also revealed that the Switch 2 uses memory modules from SK Hynix, though the exact memory configuration remains unconfirmed. Earlier rumors suggested that it uses 12GB of LPDDR5 RAM in dual-channel mode with a 128-bit memory interface. The teardown also revealed a 256GB UFS 3.1 flash storage module from SK Hynix and what looks like a Wi-Fi chip from MediaTek. Krunal says he will publish his trademark deep dive into the Tegra chip and the rest of the hardware in the near future. Hardware enthusiasts are hoping that the promised video will reveal more details about the Switch 2, including information about the process node used to manufacture the Nvidia SoC. The processor powering the Switch 2 is believed to be made by Samsung, but there's been significant speculation in the recent past about whether it's based on the company's 8nm DUV foundry node or the newer 5nm EUV process. While the Digital Foundry YouTube channel is doubling down on the 8nm rumors, some Nintendo communities on Reddit and X believe that Nvidia switched to the 5nm technology for its new SoC. Nintendo announced the Switch 2 in January before sharing more details earlier this month. The new console features multiple hardware and software upgrades over its predecessor, including a bigger display, improved controls, enhanced audio, and 4K output for TV. Priced at $449.99, it goes on pre-order today at Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop. It is slated to hit store shelves in North America on June 5.
