Nintendo’s switch 2 launch is happening tomorrow evening, and Nvidia CEO Jensen HuangA major supplier for hybrid console, to praise Today the machine and its main processor.
Huang said, “For all of us in Nvidia, we have worked with Nintendo for more than a decade, shared together that technology should serve creativity and is worth engineering for happiness.” “I still remember that Ivata-San shared his dream with us.”
It is touching that Huang, whose company has gone to great heights with the AI ​​revolution, recalls the roots of Nvidia in gaming.
Huang said that former CEO of Nintendo, who had gone through cancer, wanted to make something that no one had seen earlier, was a big, enough powerful for cinematic games, but much smaller to take anywhere.
“It seemed impossible, but this vision became the original nintendo switch. We lost Evata San before the launch, but their clarity, their purpose – it still inspires our work,” said Huang. “Every day together, we put everything in that system. Nintendo Switch took more than 500 engineers in Nvidia.
Huang said that the results speak for themselves. More than 150 million console was sold. It was a global platform that brought families together, empowering Indie creators and redefined a console.
Huang said about Switch 2, “Now a bold new chapter starts a new console that takes it forward to make it so that we had to strengthen everything.”
Nintendo Switch 2 has a custom NVDia processor, T239, with an ampere-based GPU. It has 1,536 CUDA core, run on 1GHz (dockd), and 561mHz (mobile), 128-bit with LPDDR5’s memory interface. GPU can distribute 3.07 teraflops in docd mode and 1.71 teraflops in portable use.
The CPU of the system has eight ARM Cortex-A78C core, 12 GB LPDDR 5X (128-bit interface), 102 GB/s (dockd) memory bandwidth, 68 GB/s (mobile) and 256 GB UFS 3.1. It has RT core, tenser core for AI-driven promotion, DLSS support in TV mode and 4K gaming.
He said that it brings many successes together: a mobile device has the most advanced graphics so far, full hardware ray trace, bright highlights and high dynamic range for deep shadows, and a architecture that supports backward compatibility, dedicates the AIS processor to speed up and increase the gameplay in real time, and dedication to the Altra-Lava East.
“We optimize semiconductor process technology for high performance in a handheld device so that we can go wherever we can go,” he said. “This chip is a technical miracle. It distributes the performance, intelligence and beauty in the palm of your switch 2, it is more than a new console.
He said, “For our friends in Nintendo, congratulations, we are honored with you on this journey. And everyone who loves the game, lets start fun. It’s a proud moment for all of us.
