In the following earnings call, he also noted that the proper way to refer to Nintendo's upcoming console is \u201cSwitch next model,\u201d showing that it should be something similar with multiple layers of improvements that will be announced soon. Until then, however, we have more hardware leaks showing the Switch successor might actually turn into a Super Switch, with specs rivaling lower-end hardware in the current console generation.\u00a0 We have known for close to two years that the next Switch would likely be using a version of Nvidia\u2019s T239 processor and use tools like deep learning super sampling (DLSS) or image upscaling technology to offer higher frame rates and resolutions while not taxing the hardware as much. Early reports, however, put Nintendo\u2019s next console at being closer in power to the previous generation of consoles. Now, it looks like some updated specs place it closer to an Xbox Series S.\u00a0 Based on multiple users pooling investigations on Famiboards, more potential parts for the next Switch have been uncovered, showing that it might have 12GB of RAM for memory, an internal storage of 256GB UFS 3.1, and be somewhere between the Switch OLED and Steam Deck in overall size.\u00a0 For reference, the original Switch had 4GM of RAM, the PS4 featured 8GM of RAM, and the Series S has 10GB of RAM and still runs most current-gen games at respectable performance, though only eight GB are actually usable and has caused some backlash for \u201cdevelopment limitations.\u201d If the new Nintendo console does feature 12GB like the data shows, and multiple sources like YouTuber Moore's Law Is Dead mentioned in the past, it would put the new Switch on the cusp of current-gen competition and allow it to smoothly run modern titles, fixing many of the problems Nintendo\u2019s current hardware is facing as it ages.\u00a0 Universo Nintendo editor-in-chief and Switch hardware aficionado Felipe \u201cNecro\u201d also noted that the system will perform at levels ranging between the PS4 Pro and Xbox Series S before taking into account any \u201cdark magic\u201d from Nvidia\u2014likely referring to DLSS and other extra tools this new hardware will have access to. One source from Moore\u2019s Law Is Dead even confirmed that Digital Foundry\u2019s overview on the T239 is \u201calmost entirely correct\u201d for what the Switch 2 will be capable of on the processor front.\u00a0 And for anyone worried about the 256GB UFS 3.1 or Universal Flash Storage being used instead of an SSD option, UFS 3.1 is used in smaller devices like phones and tablets and has comparable speeds to NVME SSDs used in most modern consoles like the PS5. As Giant Bomb host and reporter Jeff Grubb put it: \u201cUFS 3.1 is like diet NVME. I'll take it.\u201d Other recent \u201cleaks\u201d also corroborated previously reported information that the Switch successor will target a March 2025 release, be fully backward compatible with the original Switch, and have more information shared later this year.\u00a0 Nintendo hasn't confirmed any of this information, so it should be taken lightly until we get official details. We likely won\u2019t hear about it until the company is ready to start showing off its new console, though breakdowns from channels like Nintendo Prime give solid overviews of what we could end up seeing from this new hardware.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Nintendo-Switch-Console-1.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1223469"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1223469"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1223469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1223491,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1223469\/revisions\/1223491"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1223481"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1223469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1223469"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1223469"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1223469"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1223469"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1223469"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1223469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
