Has the chip that will give life to Nintendo Switch 2 been leaked? It is from NVIDIA and this would be its power

The rumors about the future Nintendo console, which for the moment the community has named nintendo switch 2 In the absence of an official name, they have been growing tremendously throughout 2023, mainly due to several factors that indicate that it will go on sale in 2024.

In fact, a few days ago there began to be talk that Nintendo would have shown its new console behind closed doors at Gamescom and now, shortly after that news, it has A new NVIDIA SoC has appeared that could be the one used by Nintendo Switch 2.

This SoC has been discovered by the user Kepler_L2 who, diving into the “Open-GPU” section of the official NVIDIA GitHub, has found two new chips within the hardware category with Ampere architecture which is what NVIDIA was built on GeForce RTX 30 Series of the last generation of green mark graphics.

These two new chips are the SoC t234 and t239being first of them a canceled prototype by NVIDIA according to information from Tech_Reve (a tweeter with very good information about all types of hardware), while the t239 would currently be in productionthat is, it is currently being manufactured.

Being a new SoC from NVIDIA and there being so many rumors about Switch 2, The easiest thing is to think that it is precisely the chip that the new console will use of the Big N, although remember that there is nothing confirmed and perhaps NVIDIA is preparing this SoC for a new SHIELD device or for some type of vehiclealthough given its features these two possibilities are more remote.

It seems like T234 has been canceled, and T239 is scheduled to be produced on Samsung Foundry’s 8nm process for Switch 2. Revegnus (@Tech_Reve) September 12, 2023
