Although it is true that since 2017 it has received various updates, such as the version OLEDthe hardware is still practically the same as 7 years ago.
One of the main problems that infuriates any Nintendo Switch user is when Download games it takes up a lot of space, because the storage memory the internal is very slow.
Faster storage on Nintendo Switch 2
With the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 this will change, although, for now, and based on the rumors, we can only confirm that at a minimum, the renewal of the Nintendo Switch will use V-NAND storage memory
This memory, as one would less expect from Nintendo, is not the latest generation, far from it, since it is the 5th generation according to a former Nintendo employee. Samsungwho claims in his LinkedIn profile that he was working on the development of an eMMC card with V-NAND Flash memory for Nintendo, that is to say for the Nintendo Switch, as we can see in the YouTuber’s latest video Doctre81.
It was in 2019. 5 years have passed since then, but, knowing that the Japanese firm never uses the latest generation components (in order to offer more affordable products and/or to earn more money with each console sold with old hardware), it is possible that the Nintendo Switch 2 uses this generation and not the new generation on which Samsung is already working and which would be the 9th.
Nintendo uses the chip Tegra X1 from NVIDIA since the first generation arrived on the market. The second generation will be replaced by the T239a processor also in Nvidia which, according to various sources, will result in a significant performance improvement by offering DLSS scaling and ray tracing.
Will it be called Nintendo Switch 2 or will the name change?
Nintendo is keeping the development of this console very secret. While some sources suggest that it is ready to enter the manufacturing line until the current stock runs out, other sources suggest that at least until 2025 we will not have any further news.
It’s also possible that since it’s much more powerful hardware, the company will benefit from change the name and not just add a 2 at the end. Remember that Nintendo has never used a numbering system to differentiate consoles, but has chosen to add words (NES/Super NES) or letters (Wii/Wii U).
Japanese companies are very jealous of your data. In the case of Nintendo, leaks related to the development of the second generation of the Switch come from third parties, never from the company itself as happened with the rumors leaked with the PS5 Pro.
