Nvidia’s big boss, Jensen Huang, chatted about this new processor in the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and, boy, did he get poetic. June 5 is when the magic lands, and he’s hyping it as a tiny powerhouse that’s pretty and intelligent. Yeah, in the palm of your hand — like a small cat that purrs or something.
So, there’s that video, right? “Creator’s Voice” or something. Odd seeing them spill tech beans with Nvidia, but here we are. It’s like a secret club meeting, if secret clubs went on YouTube.
Anyway, Huang’s all about these cool breakthroughs — like, graphics so good you’d think you’re holding a tiny cinema screen. Ray tracing, shiny highlights, shadows that are deeper than my midnight thoughts, plus it won’t throw your old games into the abyss. Bonus!
They tossed in some talk about DLSS, which, honestly, sounds like a band or maybe a fancy dessert. Nvidia didn’t dive deep on specs but likes to brag about how it’s ten times better than the old Switch. And AI stuff too — because why not? Fancy chips doing magic tricks to sharpen your game visuals on the fly.
Oh, and Digital Foundry peeked at the specs — lots of techy words like ARM cores and Ampere architecture. The kind of stuff that makes tech nerds drool, I guess. Twelve gigs of memory, a decent memory interface (128-bit if I’m not mistaken), and storage options galore. Seriously, 2TB expandable? That’s more than my brain’s got room for.
The video’s got this sweet homage section for Satoru Iwata, the heart behind Nintendo’s magic wand who unfortunately didn’t see the Switch’s grand debut. It’s nice they remembered.
If you’re eyeing that shiny new toy, it launches at $449.99, or there’s this Mario Kart bundle deal for a little more. Pre-orders flew like hotcakes, but rumor has it some stores might still have a stash on launch day. Fingers crossed.
Oh! Before I forget, if you’re an info junkie, hit up Tom’s Hardware on Google News for the latest in nerdy deep dives. Just tap that “Follow” button like it’s going outta style.
