Nvidia CEO Praises Custom Chip Design for Nintendo Switch 2: ‘Unprecedented Mobile Graphics’

Sure, let’s dive into this. Imagine this — I’m at a coffee shop, right? And there’s this buzz around the launch of the new Nintendo Switch 2. Jensen Huang, the big brain over at Nvidia, is shouting from the rooftops about this processor. He’s like, “It’s all about performance, beauty, intelligence,” yada yada — in your hands! You know, the usual hype.

Oh, and get this, he pops up in this special edition Nintendo video thing. It’s not just about how slick the hardware is; he’s chatting specs. A rare beast — partners hashing things out in public about Nintendo’s stuff. Wild.

Some kinda video showcased on YouTube (yes, I went down that rabbit hole; typical me), where this “Creator’s Voice” was talking about how this shiny new Nvidia chip is a game-changer. We’re talking ray-tracing, HDR — your highlights are brighter, shadows deeper, all that jazz. Backward compatibility too! So, no, your old games won’t collect dust.

Something about DLSS was confirmed — whatever that means in technical wizardry. And wait, did he say something about AI processors? Like, the games get sharper or something as you play? Real-time enhancement. Fancy stuff.

Now, down to the nitty-gritty from my favorite tech rummage site, Digital Foundry. Specs galore: eight ARM Cortex A78C cores (these things sound like they could power a spaceship), a GPU based on Nvidia’s Ampere architecture, and totally 12GB of RAM. But it doesn’t stop there; 256GB of storage? Plus, room for a microSD — oh yeah, storage for days.

The video didn’t just pump up the Switch 2, it took a moment to nod at the origin story of the very first Switch. These tidbits about Satoru Iwata — made the whole thing kinda touching in a way. That man had vision.

By the way, if you’re wallet’s twitchy, this thingy is gonna land at $449.99, and someone said something about a bundle with Mario Kart World for $499.99. But you know how launch days go — like, is it really worth camping out for?

Anyway, I need to remember to stick to news feeds for updates. Something about Google News could keep me in the loop. But who has time to hit the follow button, right?

So yeah, there’s my messy rundown. But hey, better than a sterile, AI-crafted snooze-fest.
