Nvidia CEO Praises Custom Chip, Claims Nintendo Switch 2 Boasts ‘Most Advanced Graphics in a Mobile Device’

Sure, here you go:

—

So, it’s like, Nvidia’s big guy, Jensen Huang, popped up chatting about that processor in what everyone’s calling Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah, the new console’s dropping June 5, if you didn’t know. He’s all jazzed up, saying it’s got everything — “performance, intelligence, and beauty in the palm of your hand.” Fancy, right?

Anyway, he did this whole thing on Nintendo’s “Creator’s Voice” show. It’s kinda wild because usually, Nintendo’s all hush-hush about their tech stuff. And here he was, out there with this big reveal. Felt like a special episode or something.

Oh, get this, there’s a YouTube video — I got sidetracked watching it. If that’s your thing, go check it out.

So, Huang was hyping the new Nvidia chip, saying it’s like a superhero trio: killer graphics, some sort of ray-tracing magic, and out-of-this-world lighting. Plus, backward compatibility, which is super cool. I mean, who doesn’t miss their old games?

Nintendo’s hinted before about using DLSS, but Nvidia’s being all mysterious about the gritty details. But Huang did spill that this chip packs 10 times the graphics punch of the first Switch. And whoa, there’s AI processors too! So your games basically come to life right in front of you.

Oh yeah, in case you missed it, Digital Foundry (some tech wizards) dropped info like a month ago: eight ARM Cortex thingamajigs and some kind of ancient GPU? I dunno, maybe not so ancient. Memory’s got 12GB total, sounds beefy, right?

Storage-wise, there’s 256GB, plus a spot for a microSD card that goes up to 2TB. Imagine all the games you can hoard.

Most of that video is Nvidia looking back on the OG Switch days, and there’s a nice nod to Satoru Iwata, Nintendo’s big boss back then. Kinda touching.

Price tag for the Switch 2 is $449.99 when it hits the shelves Thursday. Oh, and there’s this Mario Kart bundle for those dollar bills — $499.99 for a limited time. Hope you snagged a pre-order because they went poof real fast. But hey, maybe your local game store’s holding out.

And yeah, if you’re into this kinda news, catch Tom’s Hardware on Google News. Just hit follow, simple as that.
