More reports of the 5NM (now 3NM) Switch 2 have surface

Last thread arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/708273390/#q708273390

Everything from the last thread has remain the same but there are a few updates.

Name is still called New Nintendo Switch 2

The die shrink is now at 3NM using Samsung's 3GAP (3NM) process, down from 5NM that was originally planed, allowing for faster clocks with better battery life (still at 2.2GHz for the CPU and 1.12GHz for the GPU so Nintendo is focusing on battery life and heat instead of raw clocks)

Battery might be solid state (faster charging time, larger mAh on a smaller foot print)

CPU cache on Drake is half of what was expected (128KB L1, 256KB L2 (causing issues with Switch 1 BC), 4MB L3 shared), the new 3NM chip will double the L2 and L3 banks to what the system was supposed to have (128KB L1, 512KB L2, 8MB L3 shared)

GPU cache for the new chip was updated, L1 is the same at 2MB but L2 cache is now at 8MB (originally 4MB)

SOC chip is already tapped out so a release is sooner then later

Ram has been doubled to 24GB, sped up to 9600MTs (TV mode, handheld mode is still at 2133MTs but the bus is now doubled so handheld mode now runs at 132.5GBs) and ram bus has been doubled to 256-Bit, 307.2GBs

DisplayPort bus was updated to 2.1a (Drake was only using 1.4a), meaning the system can handle both 4K (with 10-bit color and 10-bit HDR) and 120Hz at once (no more one or the other) as well as VRR in TV mode

Uses a second USB-C port on the bottom for high speed data (the Switch 2's bottom USB-C port is always in DisplayPort mode, meaning the data bus is always in USB 2.0 mode), meaning USB 3.2 Gen 2 speeds (10Gbs) for the dock's USB-A ports and gigabit Ethernet, this also means the dock will change again due to the extra USB port

Storage is still at 1TB (up from 256GB)

100W PSU

Maybe releasing in November of 2026 at $500

Thoughts

last thread

Your last thread didn't even got 100 replies kek
Bro thinks his thread is some kind of a general lmao

Why are you like this OP? Can't you just olay games and be happy?

Sorry, OP, I can't read. :(

But no games LMAO

I could see them tweaking shit to get better battery life, docked VRR and OLED. Everything else you mentioned is not going to happen. That midgen refresh may come around the end of 2027 at the earliest.

Blablabla just tell me how much better or worse it is than a steam deck ty

no fuck off you absolute nigger we're not going back to the switch pro nonsense after all the "leakers" and "insiders" strung us along for 3 years from 2021 to 2023

there won't be a switch 2 pro, they couldn't get any significant power boost and they don't need it in the first place, if anything you should hope for dlss upgrades from nvidia which is realistic

There was a update.
They are going the DSi path for Switch 2, they got burned for not doing this for Switch 1 (see Bayonetta 3 and Pokemon Gen 9).

Also November of 2026 is close to 2027.
This came out from Samsung themselves, plus we would've got Switch Pro if Nvidia didn't focus on the Shield TV and doubled the ram (4GB to 8GB, 16GB for dev kits) and ram bank (64-Bit to 128-Bit)and over clocked the ram (1600MTs (25.6GBs) to 2133MTs (68.2GBs)).

Switch 2 was supposed to come out by 2021 but got shelved because of Covid and the SD Express format.

What would even be the point of a pro version? Sure it would be better but why would anyone drop another $500+ on a new version if the original works just fine? You didn’t see people go out in droves for the new 3ds xl, hell i’m pretty sure that sold pretty poorly since it didn’t offer much better compared to the og

Switch 2 was supposed to come out by 2021

the soc was taped out in 2022, kill yourself

The video and chip said 2021.

no the final tapeout was 2022

it also was never going to release 4 year ago for the simple reason the games were obviously not ready except if you're now going to argue they sat on mario kart world for that long

3DS XL sold excellently because people want to see whats on the screen, same with the New 3DS XL (as the New 3DS XL outsold the smaller model).

OP is this desperate to stop half a dozen anons on 4chinkz from buying a Switch 2, despite it being sold out within seconds worldwide.

The chip said 2021, also games were dumb down to run on Switch 1, case in point Bayonetta 3, Pokémon Gen 9, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door HD and Tears of the Kingdom.

Normies will buy both as the 3DS already proved.

do you really wanna do this whole pro rumour bullshit for another half decade, aren't you tired of it
are you gonna kill yourself when they just show up with an OLED model again
it's embarrassing

What causes this level of mental illness?

nintendo derangement syndrome

more hardware revisions than games

Sure.

Switch OLED only existed because of Covid, otherwise we would've got Switch 2 by 2021.
Not a mental illness, this came out of Samsung themselves.

Being a nintentoddler for starters

what does any of that shit even mean I just want to play games

Not a mental illness, this came out of Samsung themselves.
It means Nintendo is fixing bottlenecks of the Switch 2.

Switch OLED only existed because of Covid, otherwise we would've got Switch 2 by 2021.

that doesn't even make sense

Ahh yes, the Switch 2 Pro rumors have begun. Two more weeks.

Nothing about Nintendo makes sense.

You do realize that PS4/5 Pros have been selling? Youre asking about the legitmacy of an already proven market

shitch 2 not even out yet

yo guys check out the shitch2 2

fuck off

Autism speaks

2026 seems a bit too soon for a revision like this with spec changes, there's no point bumping the ram up because most software will target the normal switch2, just more market fragmentation...

I'd expect something like this in 3-4 years when the switch2 actually struggles with games

if they do plain switch2 with oled for next year, that would be fine
but honestly I'd rather they go with a glasses free 3d screen...

yes, the final soc was, but they were going to release earlier if there was no pandemic which fucked up supply chains

I didn't buy a PS5 pro so you really think I'm gonna buy your baby ass console 2: pro for 600+ dollars

Not the case, this came out of Samsung themselves.
This is late 2026 we're talking about, thats around 17 months after the Old Switch 2 is released, plus Nintendo need to fix the bottlenecks.

nintendo scamming tendies non stop holy shit

Only interessed in a lite 2

Not scamming.

Samsung (allegedly) said they want Nintendo to use OLED screens for a potential Switch 2 refresh

That's all it is. Anything beyond that single sentence is theorizing. The source is a bloomberg article. Neither Samsung nor Nintendo have commented.

So don't buy base Switch 2?

Samsung also said what OP posted as it came from the link, also there was nothing alleged that was brought up, we are getting these updates sooner then later.

Disingenuous fucking faggot, why would they release a pro on fucking 2026? That would literally cannibalize the sales of the original model and alienate customers.

Switch "pro" rumours only started because some nigger console warring retard got scared of the success of the switch and wanted to make people "hold off" until the supposed "pro" model so that it would stop selling, which clearly didn't work.

Fuck this nonsense.

It's late 2026, and Nintendo always releases new models 18 or so months after the original model.

Why are people so fixated on power, like damn? You graphicfags deserve your fate of $1000 consoles.

Also Mariko was supposed to be the Pro but since Nvidia focused on Shield TV instead of the Switch we only got a die shrink in it's place, that isn't happening again.

Switch 2 was meant for a 2021 launch but Switch 2 got shelved to 2025 because of Covid and SD Express.

Nintendo always releases new models 18 or so months after the original model

Give me five examples with dates.

You absolute fucking faggot, the only new models with *actual* graphical updates have been:

Game Boy > Game Boy Color (1989-1998) = 9 years

Nintendo DS > Nintendo DSi (2004-2008) = 4 years

Nintendo 3DS > New Nintendo 3DS (2011-2014) = 3 years

Fuck off with the BS.

DS Lite
DSi
DSi XL
3DS XL
2DS
New 3DS (XL; they were released on the same day)
New 2DS XL

there is 4 versions of the ds
6 of the 3ds
3 gameboy advance
idk how many original gameboys
3 switches 4 if you count v2

He thinks an XL model is the same as pro console

Retard
