Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sings praises of processor in Nintendo Switch 2


Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, a key supplier for the hybrid console, sang the praises of the Switch 2 and its main processor today.

“For all of us at Nvidia, we’ve worked with Nintendo for more than a decade, drawn together by shared that technology should serve creativity and that joy is worth engineering for,” said Huang. Huang said Satoru Iwata, the former CEO of Nintendo who passed away from cancer, wanted to create something no one had seen before, a console powerful enough for big, cinematic games, but small enough to take anywhere. He said it brings together multiple breakthroughs: the most advanced graphics ever in a mobile device, full hardware ray tracing, high dynamic range for brighter highlights and deeper shadows, and an architecture that supports backward compatibility, dedicated AI processors to sharpen animations and enhance gameplay in real time, and ultra low power.
