A post on the Reddit forum about the new chip of Nintendo Switch on the Reddit forum was revealed. An internal email from an NVIDIA employee showed that a chip called Tegra239 exists, and this rumored system-level chip may be used in Nintendo Switch 2.
Regarding Tegra239, a Twitter user named "kopite7kimi" revealed in June last year that the new Switch model will be equipped with Nvidia's specially customized T239 chip. This is a SoC with an octa-core CPU. Based on Ampere GPU architecture (with 2048 CUDA cores) + ARM Cortex-A78AE CPU cores. It may include some Lovelace features, and the API section contains DLSS 2.2 features and ray tracing.
According to the whistleblower, the new Switch Pro will maintain the appearance of today's model and the same handheld dock, and will be equipped with larger memory and support 4K output.
If the message is true, then this new switch should finally be able to catch up with the current mainstream host level in terms of performance! And although the chip still has occasional out-of-stock problems, the graphics card has indeed lost a lot of price. Therefore, Lao Ren bargained with Lao Huang at this time, and I believe that it should be fine if the switch uses this new chip. After all, the main reason why people thought it was impossible was that the lowest chips with Ampere architecture cost hundreds of dollars. With the low price of switch, you can't use this level of chip at all. This problem should not exist now.
However, the authenticity of the message needs to be examined. After all, it is not difficult to make an email screenshot. It is really a bit careless to just take a screenshot of an email!
