The Excitement Builds for Nintendo Switch 2's Launch

Get ready, gamers! The highly anticipated launch of Nintendo's Switch 2 is set for tomorrow evening, and Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang, is here to stir up excitement with his glowing remarks about the console and its revolutionary processor.

A Legacy of Innovation and Collaboration

Huang expressed deep gratitude for the decade-long partnership between Nvidia and Nintendo, reflecting on their shared belief that technology should foster creativity and inspire joy. He reminisced about Satoru Iwata, the late Nintendo president, sharing his visionary dream of a powerful yet portable gaming console.

"What seemed impossible gave birth to the original Nintendo Switch," Huang recalled. "Though we lost Iwata before its launch, his clarity continues to guide us. We dedicated over 500 engineer years to crafting a system that redefined gaming on-the-go."

Switch 2: A Bold New Chapter

With the announcement of Switch 2, Huang proclaims a bold new chapter in gaming. "We had to reinvent everything to elevate Iwata’s vision. This chip is unlike any we've ever designed," he stated.

Powerful New Processor Packed with Features

The Switch 2 boasts a custom Nvidia T239 processor featuring an Ampere-based GPU, which is packed with innovation. With 1,536 CUDA cores, it operates at 1GHz when docked and 561MHz in portable mode, delivering a staggering 3.07 TeraFLOPS at its peak.

Equipped with eight ARM Cortex-A78C cores and 12GB of LPDDR5X memory, the Switch 2 ensures seamless performance with a memory bandwidth of 102 GB/s when docked. It also offers dedicated AI processors that enhance gameplay in real-time and support 4K gaming in TV mode.

Revolutionizing Mobile Gaming

Huang highlighted the Switch 2's groundbreaking features, including full hardware ray tracing, high dynamic range visuals, and the ability to maintain backward compatibility. With ultra-low power consumption and technical brilliance, he said, "This chip is a game-changer. It embodies performance, intelligence, and beauty—making the Switch 2 not just another console, but a living tribute to Iwata's vision."

A Heartfelt Congratulations and a Call to Gamers

As he wrapped up, Huang extended heartfelt congratulations to Nintendo. "We’re honored to be part of this journey. To all gamers out there, let the fun begin! This moment is a prideful milestone for everyone at Nvidia!"
