Nintendo has rarely been forthcoming about the technical specifications of its consoles, giving only the minimum of details and – quite rightly, some might say – focusing on the games themselves. It makes sense, bearing in mind that the firm exited the console specs arms race with the Wii back in 2006. The pattern continues with Switch 2 and its core processor with only the Nvidia partnership confirmed and by extension, the fact that the new machine has both machine learning capabilities (hello, DLSS!) and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. So how much horsepower does the machine have? How does it compare to, say, PlayStation 4 or Steam Deck?
