Nvidia CEO Praises Custom Chip for Unmatched Graphics in Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2

Sure, here’s a rewritten version of the article with a more personal and human touch:

—

Alright, so, here we go. Nvidia’s big guy, Jensen Huang, just can’t stop gushing about this new processor they’ve crammed into the Nintendo Switch 2. Before it’s even out! Launch is supposed to be June 5, and he’s all like, “performance, intelligence, and beauty” — in your hand! Almost sounds like he’s talking about a Renaissance painting or something, right?

Anyway, he popped up on this special Nintendo thing — “Creator’s Voice” or something like that. Honestly, I rarely see them talking nerdy specifics like this, with partners tagging along no less. Was someone asleep at the wheel? Or is this like, part of the plan to rope us in with tech-speak that sounds like wizardry. Who knows?

So, there’s this video floating around online — maybe just me, but the way they talk about this Nvidia chip makes it sound like it came from the future. They say it packs amazing graphics, can do real-time ray-tracing, helps with shadows, highlights — the works. Yet, somehow backward compatible? That just messes with my head, but in a good way. If I get lost, blame Huang and his promises of AI-enhanced gameplay. Like, will the game decide when I need a power-up?

In a blog post, which okay, who reads those, Nvidia throws a bit more detail out but nothing too deep. We’re getting DLSS, and apparently, this thing is 10 times better — graphics-wise — than the old Switch. Imagine plugging in those RT cores and boom, next-level stuff just happens. Wow.

And then there’s Digital Foundry going all techno-wizard in May, announcing that it has something like eight ARM Cortex A78C cores and works with a pretty outdated Nvidia Ampere GPU thing. Eh, I kinda tuned out at “two 6GB LPDDR5X memory modules,” but if you’re the specs sort, maybe that’s your jam. Like honestly, does all this info fit into the palm of my hand too?

Now storage — 256GB of UFS sounds like enough, but then you find out it can suck up an extra 2TB via microSD. Who knew you could play Tetris with storage, right?

Switch 2 isn’t just about pretty pixels; there’s honoring vibes for Satoru Iwata, this genius behind the original launch who isn’t with us anymore. The nostalgia is real, folks.

Price-wise, you’re looking at $449.99, with some weird bundle deal featuring Mario Kart World at half a grand. Speaking of, good luck with pre-orders — those always seem to vanish into thin air. But hey, if you’re daring or desperate — or both — check local stores on launch day. They might surprise you.

Oh, and if you’re one of those folks who love never-ending tech news, Tom’s Hardware is there, with its Google News follow button and whatnot. Personally, I’d rather unplug.

Alright, I’ve yammered enough. Go, enjoy the chaos that’ll be the launch.
