But we're a little concerned the Switch 2 might not use OLED panels as standard. There's a chance Sharp could be referring to another as-yet-unannounced console.
If that is the case then it could be disappointing as the Switch 2 may come with more dated screen tech than the Switch OLED. However, Sharp, which makes the current Switch displays, has said it's working on a new LCD panel for a "new gaming console" - that could be the Switch 2. There are no rumors to support this, but we’ve got our fingers crossed. But hopefully, a boost in refresh rates would be good, say taking the 60Hz display and boosting it to 120Hz as seen in the best phones. On the display side, we can see the Switch 2 going for an OLED panel, much like that of the Switch OLED. Such a feature would be neat, but rumors around it have fallen quiet. This extra chip would be used to boost the console's power and video output when docked and connected to a 4K TV. There were murmurs of a potential co-processor chip to live in the dock of a Switch 2 or the once-rumored Nintendo Switch Pro. But we’d like to hope that Nintendo taps into enough CPU and GPU power to deliver a next-gen gaming experience. It would be difficult to guess at potential power or clock speeds. In fact, after a chaotic rumor tipping a Tegra chip based on Samsubg's 5-nanometer process node, which was then refuted by the tipster it originated from, we feel that the Nintendo Switch 2 will definitely have some form of Nvidia chip at its heart. But we’d still err on the side of Nvidia. We’d not be surprised if Nintendo got a custom chipset from Nvidia as well, given the success and scope of the Switch.īut advancements by AMD, as seen with the Valve Stream Deck, could put Team Red with an outside chance of providing the silicon for a next-generation Switch.
We can expect Nintendo to stick with a system-on-a-chip from Nvidia, likely some next-generation take on the aged Tegra X1 chip found in the current Switch. (Image credit: Katarzyna Penar at Lightframes)
