Nintendo Switch 2 Rumors: Leaked Specs, Launch Line-up Predictions, and Controversial Chip Manufacturing Process

A leaked report suggests that the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 will feature a T254 SoC, a cut-down version of the canceled Atlan SoC made for Nvidia Drive. The T254 is expected to offer better performance and power efficiency compared to the previously rumored T239. The console is rumored to support 4K gaming with DLSS, with plans to include Ray Reconstruction in the SDK by launch. Nintendo is reportedly aiming to attract more third-party game sales for the successor and is excited to surprise everyone. The storage will be a basic PCI Express 4.0-based NVME SSD, and the USB support is likely to be either USB4 20Gbps or USB4 40Gbps, depending on cable validation costs. A Mario 64-style Peach's castle stage demo, showcasing the console's capabilities, was planned for Gamescom but didn't make it due to the software stack not being ready.
