Nintendo Switch 2 will be powered by a custom processor from Nvidia, - rumours

There are probably no more rumours and discussions about any company's new device than the successor to the Nintendo Switch - even though Nintendo itself has not hinted at the release of a new device. A recent report from Reuters, citing an anonymous source, confirms these rumours, claiming that Nintendo's next console is due in 2024, which will drive significant growth in the custom video game chip market. The new console is said to be equipped with a custom Nvidia chip, which is a predictable choice given that the current Switch console uses a custom Nvidia Tegra X1 chip.

Here's What We Know

Previous leaks have hinted at features such as DLSS support and an 8-inch LCD screen for the successor. There is speculation that Nintendo could unveil the console in March, with a release scheduled for the second half of the year.

In addition to these details, a recent report suggests that the Switch 2 (or whatever it is called) will offer both physical and digital backwards compatibility. In addition, developers may have the opportunity to make technical improvements to existing Switch games for the new console.
