Nintendo Switch sucessor’s NVIDIA Tegra Chip to be built using Samsung’s 5nm Process node

For some time now, there have been rumors about a Nintendo Switch successor, which is clearly overdue as new Switch titles increasingly struggle to squeeze adequate performance out of the slim hybrid console. While rumours about the silicon that will power the new Switch have circulated for years, we may have received an update.

According to Korean insider @OreXda, the upcoming Nintendo console will be powered by a new NVIDIA Tegra chip that was created using Samsung’s 5nm 5LPP (5nm Low Power Plus) process technology. @OreXda has a history of providing accurate leaks, mostly involving the mobile industry.

A new NVIDIA Tegra chip based on the Ampere architecture was previously said to power the rumored Nintendo Switch Pro/2. Ampere, of course, uses TSMC 7nm or Samsung 8nm process technology.

While we don’t know much about the Switch successor’s SoC at this time, if they’ve moved to 5nm technology, the new Tegra chip will be more modern, power efficient, and almost certainly more powerful than the previously rumoured chip.

Given other rumours, a shift to 5nm technology would make sense. There were recent reports that Nintendo cancelled a mid-generation Switch Pro, instead opting to focus on a true next-generation console. If that’s the case, they’ll undoubtedly want to improve the capabilities of the silicon powering the machine.

The company works in mysterious ways, with Nintendo of America’s president recently saying the current Switch still has “a few years left.” So, who knows, maybe in 2025 or 2026 you’ll still be playing the latest Nintendo games on your launch Switch.
