With the unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 rumoured to be at hand, a new leak has popped up that might give us an idea of the horsepower under the hood of the new console.
In a post on the Famiboards forums, user Zachy claims to have discovered the compute speed of the Nintendo Switch 2’s hardware.
According to Zachy, the Switch’s GPU will be able to hit a clock speed of 561 MHz, which would roughly translate to around 1.71 TFLOPS (a measurement of how many floating point operations hardware can complete in a second).
This is for when the Switch 2 is used in handheld mode. Docked mode, on the other hand, will offer a considerable power boost, doubling the clock speed up to 1000 MHz, coming in at around 3.1 TFLOPS.
For context, the Nintendo Switch 2 is rumoured to be running on an Nvidia Tegra 239 SoC, which is considerably less powerful than the last few generations of desktop processors and GPUs.
