Silicon details have been broken in the heart of Nintendo Switch 2. He has picked up a brick console maternal board for a Chinese e -unhealthy, Xiano, a thousand yuan (about 140 140), and he has gone to the city on a quiet silence.
Like, up and beyond.
I recommend you watch the video exactly, because to get the full details of the chip they describe it in incredibly detailed-including it to measure the cross-section to detect the node of this process by cutting it in the middle with a very thin ion beam-it is very busy about it. It is honestly a joy.
Anyway, the important way is that yes, it is a NVIDIA T239 chip that was rumored to be widespread rumors for the new Nintendo Handheld Handheld -giving chip, and you can see from the refusal of the metal layer that this is a processor that was tapped in 2021. Gickervan notes that this is a four -year difference. Lot The long time between the tape out and the release, and possibly indicates in a switch 2, which was to be released a while ago and was postponed for any reason.
This is Nintendo; The reason may be anything.
Because it is already a broken chip – they tried to give it strength, but did not find it – to see what the logo was doing under the dead heat superpose was preventing them from cutting the NVIDIA chip. The top wrapped means that they can get a great dye shot, highlighting that when this is really an Empire Generation Nvidia hardware, “this is not the second Emperor.”
There are certain differences between the RTX 30 series dye and the GPU component in the T239 chip. Gickervan notes that the SM design is actually very close to the order of Ada SM than Empeare, which can suggest that some elements are combined between GPU generations in this chip.
The board has 12 SMS, each of which has 128 Kada Cover, a total of 1536 core. The rumors had already said this, so it is not surprising here.
Another thing that is penetrating two generations is a node itself. Theoretically, this is a Samsung 8N node, but their examination shows that this is a production process that shares the features of both Samsung’s 10 nm and 8 nm nodes. However, this is a custom process, so it does not mean.
The GPU parts are strangely wrapped around it, the CPU is the class. It consists of eight arm A78C core, each with 256 KB L2 cache, which is a joint 4 MB L3 in the middle.
In addition to cutting the wrapping layers on this silicon, Gakirwan has also tried to dial in the potential performance of the switch 2 cover. With a similar Imper -based GPU, RTX 2050 laptop chip is the nearest match of the GA107, though it comes with a lot of TGP and memory and basic watches.
They tried to get a garb on gaming performances, they switched their RTX 2050 laptop to get 2-421 MHz rumored handheld frequency and half of the memory clock. To get They Less, they need to use internal tools to bring the target TGP and frequency down.
By taking the 3DMark steel mature light as your GPU test, you can see that in the handheld format, switch 2 has actually a steam -like performance level, which imitates the classic handheld of the Dokid mode valve to 53 % more performance.
Although it is worth noting that even in dock mode, it cannot touch Redon 780m, which strengthens the rest of the PC in the market handheld gaming.
However, one thing they note is that there is a significant difference between the original switch chip and the ideological performance of the new, but it is not 10x which is being talked about by NVIDIA. At least not without DLSS, and maybe the frame general.
Gakrwan then shows an artificial cyberpanch 2077 runs on the expected DLSS level, which can provide a switch 2 version, both handheld and dock mode. And, okay, it’s not bad, especially when you think it will be relatively on the VE bone screen. He also turned to track the path, but as less about it.
The same is the case for Monster Hunter Wilds where he says, “Even if you run 720p, low definition, super -performance DLSS in dock mode, it becomes a shameful desert.” Although Black Muttik Wokong does not look bad, the latest codified democracy also operates very well on this artificial hardware.
As you can be expected, this is the CPU component behind the GPU section. The Arm Core runs at 1.1 GHz, and in a Gack Bench 6 analysis, which holds a 140 % steam -deck APU’s single -core performance behind and 52 % on the multi -core matrix.
This is a really interesting error of the potential performance of switch 2, and also a great look at the original Silicon. And, once again, I say watch the video, this guy is great.
