Use a LCD screen It is undoubtedly one step back compared to the OLED version of the previous generation, although Nintendo says that the screen seems a lot thanks to HDR. The joysticks do not incorporate the Effect (It works by magnets instead of contact), so the derivative effect will continue to appear, although society says that it will not be. Price, 469 dollars, everything is said.
Which processor does the Nintendo Switch 2 use?
During the presentation of Nintendo, he showed the graphic improvements of the new console, improvements that will be paid if we have the first generation title. How were these improvements made? This second generation of the Nintendo switch, as he said, is managed by a processor designed by Nvidia, in particular by the Nvidia T239 model.
Digital Foundry, who has published this information, says it is a personalized chip, in particular a modified version of the Nvidia T234 which is used in Autonomous vehiclesBut with lower performance, because its size is also almost half.
According to these media, the processor NVIDIA T239 It has 8 dedicated Cortex A78C cores with a clock speed up to 1,100 MHz. As for the GPU, this account uses Ampère architecture (The same that was used with the RTX 30) with 1536 Cuda nuclei, 12 GB of LPDDR5 memory at 6,400 MHz of 128 bit with a bandwidth up to 102 GB / s.
The processor that has been changed to create this model, the NVIDIA T234To 12 cores ARM Cortex A78AE, a watch speed of 1.43 GHz, 2048 CUDA cores, LPDDR5 256-bit memory and a 204 GB / s band.
The manufacturing process that has been used to manufacture the processor is 8 nmSomething that particularly attracts attention in 2025, not only because it is older but also for its low advantages. The stem bridge processor uses a 7 Nm manufacturing process, which was also used with Xbox and PlayStation 5 processors that were launched on the market in 2020.
In the end, what really matters to users is that games are perfectly Optimized for Nintendo Switch 2 And that the game works quickly, without long load screens and with a minimum of 60 IPS to offer greater fluidity.
The rest of the negative points that we commented at the beginning of this article, we will see if they really affect sales of this second generation, a second generation with which Nintendo has never done as well as the first.
Nintendo Switch original processor
As for the original Nintendo Switch processor, which was launched on the market in 2017, we talked about the model Tegra X1 Also made by Nvidia. This processor has 8 nuclei (4 Cortex-A57 to 1 GHz and 4 Cortex-A53 at 1.3 GHz), the GPU has a Maxwell architecture if in terms of RAM, we are talking about the LPDDR4 type with a bandwidth of 12.8 GHz.
