A new leak offers a glimpse at the Nintendo Switch 2 motherboard, seemingly confirming the use of an NVIDIA SoC and other key features. This leak follows months of speculation surrounding Nintendo's next-generation console.
NVIDIA Tegra T239 SoC
The Switch 2 is expected to feature the NVIDIA Tegra T239 SoC, reportedly featuring up to 1,536 CUDA cores. While the leaked image doesn't explicitly mention the T239 name, it does use internal codenames consistent with previous rumors.
LPDDR5X Memory & Other Features
The leaked motherboard also shows the inclusion of SK Hynix H58GE6AK8B LPDDR5X memory, with a total capacity of 12GB. The design appears to incorporate improved thermal management with visible heat shielding around the memory and CPU.
The Switch 2 is also expected to feature a USB-C port, a game card slot, and magnetic connectors.
Potential Retail Board
The leaked board has different markings compared to previous prototypes, leading some to speculate that this might be the final retail board, suggesting only minimal design changes are likely before launch.
The Switch 2 has been the subject of numerous leaks over the past several months, suggesting the launch could be imminent, possibly even this month.
