Oh man, so, here’s the thing. Didn’t even take, like, a minute for folks—well, tech geeks really—to go nuts and pry open the Nintendo Switch 2. Honestly, not shocking. I mean, we already had a pretty good idea of the specs, but diving in and seeing it all up close? That’s where the fun’s at, right? So, get this—someone on Reddit, because of course Reddit, shared this post that kinda felt like peeking into the future of gaming tech. They used a CT scan—yeah, the kind for like broken bones but for gadgets—on the Switch 2, mainly to ogle at the Nvidia Tegra SoC. Wild stuff.
Check it out below—well, if I don’t get sidetracked before I tell you to.
So, some Reddit user, uh, goes by Scan-of-the-month or something—don’t ask why, I’m not their biographer—posted this CT scan. They’re kinda known for showing off scans of all sorts of random things, mostly techy stuff. Think Apple AirPods, Flipper Zero? Yeah, no clue why they thought, “Hey, let’s scan the Switch 2,” but, like, we’re all here for it, aren’t we?
Anyway, hold on—there’s more! These scans, they’re labeled like a geography map in middle school. Biggest thing? The 5220mAh battery, just chillin’ there next to some Realtek audio thing. Your usual suspects like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth courtesy of MediaTek. And there’s some SK Hynix stuff too—a couple of 6GB RAM chips and 256 gigs for storage.
But here’s where it gets juicy. The Nvidia SoC is like THE big reveal. We kind of knew the Switch 2 was running on Tegra, but seeing that GGMLX30-A1 stamp was like getting a secret handshake from your clone. They even have this video—shows layer by layer of the chip. Mesmerizing if you’re into that sort of techy eye-candy.
Of course, enthusiasts—by which I mean folks with lots of patience and maybe some pliers—are tearing the Switch 2 apart. Quite literally sometimes. Imagine smacking the screen with pliers 50 times. Who’s got that kind of time? There’s also a polite, methodical teardown vid—piece by piece dissection and all. You see that shiny Nvidia chip, now with a name: GGMLX30-A1.
Not sure what these CT scan hobbyists learned long-term, but yeah, seeing the gadget’s guts? Pretty neat. Even if, deep down, it’s confirming what all the rumor mills had been churning out anyway. But hey, progress, revelations, all in a day’s geek work.
