While Switch 2 is putting a bigger emphasis on technical power than we've seen from Nintendo in years, the publisher has still been oddly reticent to reveal the pl𒅌atform's actual technical specifications. Now we're finally💮 getting some clarity on the system's specs.

Switch 2 leaks have actually intensified in recent weeks as the supply chain for the console moves forward, and the folks at have confirmed the specs. In short, the system features a custom Nvidia system🔯 on a chip called a T239, which features a GPU built on the same Ampere architecture that powered the RTX 30-series GPU﷽s first released in 2020.

, and if the past four years of leaks have had some element of truth to them, it's clear that Switch 2 has been in the works for a long, long time. Nintendo a Switch 2 spec sheet alongside the conꦓsole's initial reveal in April, but that only mentioned a "custom processor" from Nvidia, with no accompanying specs.

According to DF's rundown, we're looking at a CPU clock of 998MHz while docke꧙d or 1101MHz in handheld mode, with six cores available to game developers and two reserved for system resourc🌸es. There's a theoretical maximum clock of 1.7GHz, but it's unclear in what circumstance that additional performance headroom might be unlocked.

On the GPU side, it's rated for 1007MHz in docked mode, 561MHz in handhel🃏d, and a theoretical maximum of 1.4GHz. Digital Foundry suggests thinking "of it as a miniaturis🐈ed version of a consumer GPU," similar to how the Switch 1 made use of a variant of the GTX 900 series. Here, though, we're dealing with something similar to an RTX 30-series card.

Exactly what all this means in terms of concrete performance for Switch 2 is still difficult to measure without actually seeing games in action, and it's going to be doubly tough to compare the system's raw perfo🅘rmance against other hardware when it's making use of Nvidia's performance-boosting DLSS tech.

In more concrete reveals, DF says that VRR – which helps match the screen refresh rate to the in-game frame rate for smoother video when performance fluctuates – is only supported for the built-in handheld screen. There's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:no su💙pport for VRR-enabled televisions o🎶ver HDMI.

Switch 2 also features a custom file decompression eng♛ine, which can offload somꦜe of the burden from the CPU, which "should be a lot faster and more power-efficient" when loading your games.

GameChat also seems to be quite a serious part of the platform in Nintendo's eyes, though it's one that apparently eats quite a bit of system resources, to the point where "Nintendo actually proওvides developers with a GameChat testing tool" to measure the performance impact of the feature. DF notes that GameChat's impact on performance "does seem to be an area of developer concern."

We're now just a few weeks out from the launch of Switch 2, so the answers to🔯 many of these questions will be clear soon en꧅ough. Here's hoping that the long, long wait for the new hardware proves worthwhile.
