CT Scan Reveals Layer-by-Layer Internals of Nintendo Switch 2, Including Nvidia Tegra SoC

I’ve often wondered why I get sucked into the nitty-gritty of tech stuff. Seriously, it’s like opening a time capsule or sneaking a peek behind the magician’s curtain. So, when the Nintendo Switch 2 came out and folks started poking around its innards, I was all in. Someone on Reddit (isn’t that where all the juicy stuff ends up?) decided to shove it through a CT scanner. Yep, nothing says curiosity like multi-million dollar equipment scanning a gaming console. The result? A show-and-tell of the Switch 2’s guts.

Honestly, it’s kinda cool — seeing that Nvidia Tegra SoC all exposed. It’s like looking at the skeleton of some futuristic creature. The person behind this delightful invasion? Reddit user “Scan-of-the-month” (catchy name, right?). They’ve done this with all sorts of tech—AirPods, Flipper Zero, you name it. No clue why they do it, but hey, some mysteries are best left unsolved, am I right?

Oh! Almost forgot, there’s a graphic floating around labeling all the techno-goodies. You’ve got your big ol’ battery on the left, a Realtek audio codec squished in there, and a MediaTek module keeping stuff connected. SK Hynix chipped in too—literally—with a 256GB storage and a couple of RAM chips. Stuff like this makes my inner geek giddy.

But the star of the show? That Nvidia SoC, the shiny Tegra, with its GGMLX30-A1 label—a mouthful if you ask me. Someone made a whole video, peeling back layers of the chip. Kinda the tech version of an onion, but less teary. Reddit’s buzzing about it, especially after someone else smacked the Switch’s screen with pliers (why though?).

No idea what happens next for that CT-scanned Switch, but yeah, I’m thrilled by the geeky goodies inside it. Even if it’s all stuff we pretty much knew. It’s like seeing a blockbuster movie twice—you know the plot, but the view’s still something to enjoy.

Anyway, if you’re into this kinda tech dive, might wanna keep your eyes peeled on some tech sites. Or Reddit. Because honestly, where else do we get the weirdest-yet-coolest tech sagas?
