Nintendo may never reveal detailed specs (YouTube)There might not have been any official information about the Nintendo Switch 2 tech specs but a series of leaks may hold the answer.The Nintendo Switch 2 console has now been officially announced but inevitably the brief reveal trailer has raised more questions than its answered.Insiders had already warned not to expect much in terms of game reveals (although we did get Mario Kart 9) and the lack of any price or release date info, beyond it being out this year, was also not a surprise.It also wasnt a shock that Nintendo failed to provide any detailed technical information, something theyre never very interested in talking about at the best of times. But much of that info had leaked out earlier and it certainly seems as if the leaks about the consoles size have now been proven true.How big is the Nintendo Switch 2 console?One of the first things to leak about the Switch 2 was information about its screen size, because that has to be handled by a particular component provider. The rumour all along has been that it has an 8 inch LCD screen, which is an increase from the 6.2 inch original Switch, and the 7 inch OLED Model.Although Nintendo has provided no measurements that does look to be about the right level of increase, to judge by the trailer which focuses heavily on the differences between the new console and the old, and emphasises that every element of it is bigger.More TrendingThe leaks get a little less reliable when it comes to the dimensions of the Switch 2, but the mock-up made by Genki for CES earlier in the year measured 10.5 inches (26.7cm) wide, 4.5 inches tall (11.4cm), and 5 inches (12.7cm) thick, which also seems about right based on the reveal trailer.To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a webbrowser thatsupports HTML5videoUp NextWhat are the Nintendo Switch tech specs?The thing about technical specifications is they dont really matter, not for any console. No matter how good or bad things may look on paper that rarely has any impact on how the games perform, as thats much more dependent on the skill of the developers.An analysis of leaked images of the Switch 2 motherboard suggests that the console is roughly equivalent to a base PlayStation 4, but with enough special features and modern components that it should still be able to run modified versions of PlayStation 5 games just as the original Switch had ports of a number of PlayStation 4 titles.Since no third party games have been announced yet it remains to be seen just what the Switch 2 is capable of, especially when Nintendo is not the developer, but in the meantime these are believed to be the accurate specs for the Switch 2:Nintendo Switch 2 specsCPU: Arm Cortex-A78C 8 coresGPU: Nvidia T239 Ampere 1 graphics processing cluster (GPC) 12 streaming multiprocessors (SM) 1,534 CUDA cores 6 texture processing clusters (TPC) 48 Gen 3 Tensor cores 2 RTX ray-tracing coresRAM: 12GB LPDDR5Storage: 256GB UFS 3.1 (up to 2,100MB/s)Handheld Mode:CPU: 998.4 MHzGPU: 561 MHz (~1.72 TFLOPS)Memory Frequency: 4266 MHzMemory Bandwidth: 68.256 GB/sDocked Mode:CPU: 1100.8 MHzGPU: 1007.25 MHz (~3.09 TFLOPS)Memory Frequency: 6400 MHzMemory Bandwidth: 102.4 GB/sEmailgamecentral@metro.co.uk, leave a comment below,follow us on Twitter, andsign-up to our newsletter.To submit Inbox letters and Readers Features more easily, without the need to send an email, just use ourSubmit Stuff page here.For more stories like this,check our Gaming page.GameCentralSign up for exclusive analysis, latest releases, and bonus community content.This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
