The motherboard of a Nintendo Switch 2 console has reportedly leaked early, which in turn has provided new insight into how the console performs. And included in this insight is word of a major weakness of the console. More specifically, the CPU of the Nintendo Switch 2 is notably lacking, which means the console may have a hard time running a few different types of games and genres, including: open world games, real-time strategy games, simulation games, MMORPGs, and generally any games with significant physics and AI demands.(...)
(...)it appears the SoC was taped out in 2021, which presumably means this console could have been released much earlier if it was not for the pandemic and the disruption it caused.
While the GPU has already been found to be quite weak, the CPU in particular leaves plenty of room for improvement, with testing finding it pretty week, and considerably weaker than 2022’s Steam Deck. When running many games, this probably won’t be much of a problem, but just like the Nintendo Switch, it is going to keep a lot of games from certain genres off the Switch 2, especially high-end real-time strategy and grand strategy games.
