Evans also addresses rumors of the Nintendo Switch 2 utilizing some variant of the Jetson AGX Orin 64 GB kit, which is much more powerful (12x CPU cores, 2,048 GPU shaders) than its NX stablemate. It’s clearly too powerful for something like a next-generation Nintendo console, although it could arrive in a heavily customized form. The YouTuber reckons the most likely contender, like many already believe, is the still somewhat mysterious Nvidia Tegra 239 (also known as T239 and “Drake”). This chip will likely be reconfigured in such a manner that it is ideal for a Switch 2 or the like, and it would sport a more reasonable 8-core CPU, 1,024-shader GPU, 16 GB RAM configuration. Even then, Evans guesses Nintendo fans can expect around 3-4x the current performance for the Switch successor, helping it square off against the competition such as the Steam Deck and the upcoming Asus ROG Ally.
