While both Sony and Microsoft use AMD to power its architecture in their systems, Nintendo has looked to NVIDIA to provide its architecture. The NVIDIA chip in the first Switch is quite dated and isn't capable of the technology that NVIDIA uses now in its graphics cards.

Nvidia has provided Nintendo's Switch 2 with their best technologies, including DLSS, RT and Tensor cores, and G-sync.

NVIDIA said the Switch 2's DLSS support helps to give the console "ten times" the graphical performance of the original Switch. The tech lets games render games in a lower resolution, then uses trained AI models and dedicated Tensor Cores to fill in detail.

Nintendo’s Switch 2 is bigger and better than its predecessor of eight years past as the video game developer pushes to bring its brand into “a new era” where social experiences are at the forefront

In the wake of the Switch 2 reveal, neither Nintendo nor Nvidia has gone into any detail at all about the exact chip inside the upcoming handheld—technically, we are still not sure what Arm CPU architecture or what GPU architecture it uses,

Leaks earlier in the year suggested that Nintendo might use some form of AI upscaling tech (and that’s exactly what DLSS is) with the intent of keeping game sizes small enough to fit on the cartridge without sacrificing 4K resolution.
