New rumors about the Nintendo Switch 2 suggest significant improvements in power and performance.
Details reportedly leaked online reveal TFLOPS, clock speeds, and other potential specifications for the highly anticipated console.
Leaked Power Profiles and Specs
According to unconfirmed reports shared on platforms like Reddit and Famiboards, the Nintendo Switch 2 could feature the following power profiles:
Handheld Mode:
- CPU: 1100.8 MHz
- GPU: 561 MHz, 1.72 TFLOPS
- RAM: 2133 MHz, 68.26 GB/s
Docked Mode:
- CPU: 998.4 MHz
- GPU: 1007.3 MHz, 3.09 TFLOPS
- RAM: 3200 MHz, 102.40 GB/s
Additional rumored specs include:
- CPU: Arm Cortex-A78C, 8 cores
- GPU: Nvidia T239 Ampere architecture (RTX 20 series), with 1534 CUDA cores, 48 Tensor cores, and 2 ray-tracing cores
- RAM: 12 GB LPDDR5, with some units possibly using LPDDR5X chips
How Does It Compare?
In terms of TFLOPS, the Switch 2’s docked mode (3.09 TFLOPS) would fall short of the Xbox Series S (4 TFLOPS) and PS4 Pro (4.2 TFLOPS). However, TFLOPS alone don’t fully represent a console’s gaming capabilities.
The rumored inclusion of Nvidia’s DLSS upscaling technology could significantly enhance visual performance and efficiency, making the Switch 2 a competitive option despite its raw power limitations.
Rumored Announcement
Speculation is growing that Nintendo could announce the Switch 2 this Thursday, January 16. While no official details have been confirmed, Nintendo has previously stated that an announcement for its next console would come before the fiscal year ends in March 2025.
As fans eagerly await official news, these leaks provide an exciting glimpse into what the Switch 2 might offer. Whether the rumors hold true or not, expectations are high for Nintendo’s next-generation console.
