According to foreign media reports, Nintendo is about to launch a new generation of switch. One of the most powerful evidence is that partner NVIDIA is recruiting new game console development engineers. Before that, lapsu $, a South American hacker organization, claimed to have invaded the other server of NVIDIA for a week and obtained about 1TB of confidential data, including a directory named nvn2 and a directory named nvndlss. In addition, some documents mentioned t239 (Note: NVN is NV's API specially written for Nintendo switch).
Nvn2 or nvndlss was found in the leaked documents, which is obviously proof of more cooperation between NVIDIA and Nintendo. Moreover, kopite7kimi, a twitter user who often broke the news of NVIDIA, also said that t239 is the SOC used by the new generation of switch, code named Drake
Although there are still many game masterpieces that have not yet been released, the switch released in 2017 has entered the middle and late stage of its life. Nintendo will naturally consider launching subsequent models, but I don't know whether the new switch will be officially released under the background of the current global chip shortage?
T234 SOC is considered to have 2048 amp GPU CUDA core and 12x arm cortex-a78ae (Hercules) 64 bit core. The t239, which will be custom designed on this basis, is recommended to provide slightly different specifications.
The specific GPU that the SOC will use seems to be ampere ga10f. It is said (or rumored) that the chip has the same sec8n rate, 1024 fp32 rate, or half of the Orin. This SOC will also likely support AV1
