Nintendo’s new Switch will use Nvidia’s new SoC and support DLSS. Today, the new Switch is equipped with Nvidia Lovelace architecture chips.
Nvidia GPU chips are codenamed by scientists, such as the Ampere architecture of the RTX 30 series, the Turing architecture of the RTX 20 series, and the Pascal architecture of the GTX 10 series.
Lovelace refers to Ada Lovelace, she is the daughter of the famous British poet Byron, a mathematician, and the founder of computer programs. She established the concept of loops and subroutines.
Nvidia will utilize the Lovelace architecture as its next-generation desktop graphics processor game architecture. Obviously, this architecture is also suitable for next-generation game console chips.
The Nvidia Ada Lovelace architecture will be the successor to the Ampere architecture, and may further upgrade the tensor and RT core built into the GPU. The current version of Nintendo Switch utilizes the code-named ‘Mariko’ SoC Tegra X1 T214, based on TSMC’s 16nm process.
The new chip will improve GPU and CPU performance and provide a DLSS solution for a 4K resolution image display. In addition, the new Switch will be equipped with a 7-inch OLED screen.
