Okay, so here’s the scoop. Nintendo Switch 2 – people didn’t waste any time tearing into it, did they? Like, half the fun is seeing the guts of these gadgets, right? Anyway, someone on the Reddit rabbit hole shared a post that, honestly, had me squinting at my screen. Ever seen gaming wizardry unfold before your eyes? No? Well, thanks to a curious user, the Switch 2 got zapped with a CT scan. Yep, the tech equivalent of a sneak peek into someone’s soul. Or circuit, I guess.
Guess what popped up? The Nvidia Tegra SoC, shining like the star of the show. It’s one of those things you don’t think about, but once you see it, it’s like, “Whoa, that’s inside my Switch too?!” Anyway, somewhere down this rabbit hole is a Reddit genius going by Scan-of-the-month. Apparently, they love capturing these X-ray moments of everyday tech—Apple AirPods, Flipper Zero, you name it. And your reaction might be, “Why? But also, why not?”
The CT image, for those of us who dig the nerdy stuff, has labels all over the place. Surprise—you got the 5220mAh battery lounging to the left of some Realtek audio thingy. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth doing their jig with MediaTek’s help, and hey there, SK Hynix chips! Two LPDDR5X RAM chips cozying up with a 256GB UFS storage. It’s like tech Tetris in there.
Anyway — oh wait, back to the juicy part — this Nvidia SoC revelation from the scan? Mind-blowing to see it in its layered splendor. It was rumored, but seeing it on screen is a different vibe. The GGMLX30-A1 inscription on it gets people buzzing like bees in spring. Or maybe like dogs seeing a squirrel?
Now, about these Switch parts taking a beating. I mean, smashing the screen with pliers 50 times?! That’s wild. But hey, folks are curious! Beyond the chaos, there’s a smoother teardown video floating around, gracefully disassembling the Switch 2, highlighting this famed Nvidia Tegra, like peeling an onion without the tears.
At the end of the day, do we really know what this all means for the future of gaming (and the Switch 2’s internal life expectancy)? Eh, not really. But who cares! It’s all about enjoying this glimpse into the silicon galaxy living in your game console. Isn’t that fascinating or what?
