Regardless of how powerful it'll be or won't be so am I looking forward to the NS 2 as I haven't owned any Nintendo related hardware in awhile... So I am very excited for its 2025 launch!

The entire thread on Glar is making fun of this non-source's non-news.

This guy has a bad track record and is saying nothing, no thread on it should have been made here.

What is glar

What is glar

Gaming Leaks and Rumors, a gaming leaks subreddit that is 100 percent fed up with fake leaks.

Yeah, it probably won't be a Series S level but im hoping. We'll see what happens.

Your hope is in vain. I hope a billionaire randomly makes me his heir but it isn't going to happen and I shouldn't go around pretending like it is.

It's very obviously not.

The Series S uses 75W on a TSMC 7nm chip and a RDNA2 GPU. The Switch 2 will use at most 15W (docked) on a less advanced Samsung 8nm chip and an Ampere GPU.
Even if the console's hardware somehow "punches above its weight", it's probably not even reaching half the Series S' performance.
It'll be lucky to reach the Steam Deck's GPU performance on 15W docked mode, and much lower than that in handheld mode. Though CPU performance on the Cortex A78 is much lower than the Zen2 in the Steam Deck and Series S.


The Switch 2 uses 2020 technology and Nintendo isn't going to splurge on exotic hardware at this point because that hasn't been profitable to them since the 90s.

People ought to temper their expectations.

That's outdated. With the recent news of the Switch 2 using LPDDR5X ram it wouldn't make sense to be an 8nm chip.

That's outdated. With the recent news of the Switch 2 using LPDDR5X ram it wouldn't make sense to be an 8nm chip.

Why wouldn’t it?
LPDDR5X will be mass produced for longer which is important for a console starting to be sold in 2025, and it's more power efficient. Odds are the switch 2 would be running those at the 0.9V and 0.5V modes.

Hmm sounds interesting... But we'll see in early 2025 if it's true or not though
