Nvidia CEO Praises Advanced Graphics in Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 with Custom Chip Technology

Alright, here’s the scrambled, yet hopefully human-sounding version of it.

So, Nvidia’s big guy Jensen Huang — really, this dude’s like the wizard of processors or something — just had to chat about the new Nintendo Switch 2’s guts. He says you’re basically holding a mini supercomputer in your hands, with all this “performance, intelligence, and beauty.” I mean, bold claims, right?

Anyway — wait, where was I? Oh yeah. He was on this “Creator’s Voice” thing from Nintendo. Not your usual place to hear about tech specs, let alone from other tech partners. Felt kind of out-of-the-blue, but also, not unwelcome?

And there’s this YouTube clip of it — kinda artsy with a thumbnail that I guess looks alright if you’re into that. No idea why I noticed this, but it seemed… significant.

So Huang mentioned the new Nvidia chip. It’s supposed to jam together top-tier graphics, ray-tracing, HDR — you know, fancy buzzwords for gamers. And oh, backwards compatibility — thank goodness, am I right?

Nintendo’s been cheeky about their hardware with DLSS stuff. Nvidia didn’t throw all the techie deets at us — guess they’re saving something up their sleeve? But hey, 10 times better graphics than the old Switch? Seems like they’re setting a high bar.

What else? Oh, dedicated AI processors — makes it sound so alive, like it might grow legs or something. It’ll “sharpen, animate, and enhance” games on-the-fly. Magic stuff.

Saw something from Digital Foundry too, back in May, dropping those fun numbers, like eight ARM Cortex A78C cores, and a GPU that’s kinda retro, being two generations old. Still sounds mighty powerful, though.

Storage is pretty wild too — 256GB, which feels generous, but microSD up to 2TB? That’s like, all the freedom you could ever need for game hoarding.

The video oddly went on about the original Switch and Satoru Iwata — some touching tribute moments. Gotta love those heartfelt nods.

For the wallet-watchers, it’s launching at $449.99. Toss in Mario Kart World for an extra fifty bucks. Pre-orders got snapped up like free donuts at work; who doesn’t love those, right? But maybe, just maybe, some shops will have some left on launch day.

Anyway, just hit up Tom’s Hardware for their takes and stay tuned there for more tech chatter. Click that Follow button — if you’re feeling it, I mean.

How’s that for a bit of human flair and randomness?
