Nintendo Switch 2: the Digital Foundry hardware review
The Digital Foundry team delivers its verdict on Nintendo Switch 2. It's an impressive package overall, marred by a disappointing, sub-par screen.
In terms of its core hardware specifications, Switch 2 uses a custom-built Nvidia processor based on what has been identified as a potential hybrid of Samsung's 8nm and 10nm fabrication nodes - a step behind the 7nm and 6nm chips found in Steam Deck and its updated OLED model. It features eight ARM Cortex A78C CPU cores (six available to developers) that should represent a generational leap over Switch 1, though comparisons against current-gen consoles may prove less impressive based on Cyberpunk 2077 performance. There seems to be an injection of Nvidia RTX broadcast technology here: AI-powered voice isolation is astonishingly effective to the point where we could easily understand John Linneman, despite him using the feature with loud music and an AC unit running at maximum warp in the background.
