The premiere of Nintendo Switch 2 takes place tomorrow evening, and the general director of NVIDIA Jensen Huang, a key supplier of a hybrid console, He sang praise Machines and its main processor today.
“For all of us in Nvidia we have worked with Nintendo for over a decade, connecting by sharing that technology should serve creativity and joy is worth engineering,” said Huang. “I still remember the day when Iwata San shared his dream with us.”
To the touch that Huang, whose company has gone to Great Heights with the AI Revolution, remembers the roots of Nvidia in games.
Huang said that Satoru Iwata, former general director of Nintendo, who died of cancer, wanted to create something that no one had seen before, a console powerful sufficiently for immense, film games, but petite enough to take up everywhere.
“It sounded impossible, but this vision became the original Nintendo switch. Before launching, we lost Iwata San, but his brightness, its purpose – still inspires our work,” said Huang. “Every day we poured everything into this system. Nintendo Switch took over 500 years of engineers in NVIDIA. We reached the whole pile, chip architecture, operating system, API interfaces, gaming engines so that magic can travel with you.”
Huang said the results speak for themselves. Sold over 150 million consoles. It was a global platform that gathered families, strengthened independent creators and redefined what the console could be.
“And now a brave new chapter begins a mission by building a new console that performs an original vision to make it so that we have to discover everything,” said Huang with switch 2. “Chip Inside Nintendo Switch 2 is no different than everything we built.”
Nintendo Switch 2 has a non -standard NVIDIA processor, T239, with a GPU based on ampers. It contains 1536 wonders cores, they work on 1 GHz (dock) and 561 MHz (mobile), with a 128-bit LPDDR5 memory interface. The GPU can provide 3.07 Teraflops in overharged mode and 1.71 Teraflops in portable exploit.
The system processor has eight Cortex-A78C cores, 12 GB LPDDR5X (128-bit interface), 102 Gb/s memory capacity (robbed), 68 Gb/s (mobile) and storage of 256 GB UFS 3.1. It has RT cores, tensor cores for AI improvements, DLSS support and 4K games in television mode.
He said that he combines many breakthroughs: the most advanced graphics in mobile history, full tracking of hardware rays, a high range of dynamics for brighter views and deeper shadows, and architecture, which supports reverse compatibility, dedicated AI processors to sharpen the animation and improving the game in real time and ultra low power.
“We optimize the technology of a semiconductor process in terms of high performance in a manual device so that we can go anywhere you succeed,” he said. “This chip is a technical miracle. It provides performance, intelligence and beauty in Palm of Your Switch 2 is more than a new console. This is a new chapter worthy of the vision of Iwata San.”
He added: “To our friends from Nintendo, congratulations, we are honored that we can be with you on this journey. And for anyone who loves the game, let the fun start. This is a proud moment for all of us in Nvidia.”
