Alright, so I was munching on some stale chips—regretfully, I might add—when I stumbled on this wild update about the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s, like, blowing my mind! Jensen Huang, the big cheese over at Nvidia, is all jazzed up about the new processor in this gaming gizmo. He’s saying it’s got “performance, intelligence, and beauty” and…I mean, how poetic, right?
So, Huang made this surprise appearance on Nintendo’s “Creator’s Voice.” Rare treat, folks! Usually, they keep this tech stuff under wraps. Almost like catching your grandma at a rock concert. It’s that unusual.
And okay, there’s this video. But I got distracted watching a cat video, so…oops, maybe later. Anyway, Huang’s bragging about the chip being some graphics powerhouse. Ray-tracing, HDR, and it’s backward compatible! Imagine playing old-school Mario with these new visuals. Total nostalgia trip with a dash of 2023 flair.
Nintendo’s been hinting at DLSS, whatever that magic acronym stands for—sounds fancy—and get this, the new chip flexes with “10x the graphics performance” of the old Switch. Not bad, not bad at all. There’s talk about some AI processors doing crazy real-time stuff with the games. Guess it’s like having a little robot artist in there, living it up, sketching your Mario or whatever in real-time. Funny image, huh?
Oh, Digital Foundry leaked specs—shocker! We got eight ARM Cortex A78C cores, and a GPU that’s got Ampere vibes, which I think is old but cool? It’s rocking 12GB of something called LPDDR5X memory. I barely kept up with my laundry, so, tech jargon isn’t my forte.
256GB UFS storage, a microSD slot…memory overload—literally! Pre-orders were as swift as, well, me dodging chores. Price tag? $449.99. Ya get Mario Kart for extra dough. I mean, classic Nintendo fleecing.
Some video tribute to that Nintendo bigwig, Satoru Iwata. Heartwarming, to say the least. And heads up, of course: if you’re stalking news, Tom’s Hardware is your go-to. I’m not sure if they send cookies, but I digress.
Alright, my chips are gone, and I’ve babbled enough. Switch 2’s dropping soon, and let’s be real—I’ll probably spend my grocery budget snagging one. Byes!
