YouTuber Geekerwan has studied a leaked Nintendo Switch 2 motherboard and discovered that the custom chip has 8 Arm CPU cores and 1,536 NVIDIA graphics cores made with Samsung 8nm technology at a size of 207 mm² with 12GB of fast memory. Performance when docked to a TV is expected to be between Apple’s A18 Pro and a GTX 1050 Ti, while in handheld mode it is closer to a GTX 750 Ti or PlayStation 4 and similar to the Steam Deck.
