EFFORTPOST A Summary of Switch 2 Leaks and Rumors :marseysoyswitch:

With talk of the Switch successor being revealed this week I thought it'd be worth doing a review of all the major leaks and rumors that have appeared surrounding it. There's a comical amount of stuff to go over for a system that hasn't even been formally announced yet. Originally, I'd meant to do this at the end of last year but waiting might have paid off since it might only be a few days away from being unveiled to the world at long last. In fact, just today some new developments have happened that is even more smoke for a reveal being imminent. I'm not the most plugged into this topic or the technical aspects surrounding it so there may be some mistakes made but whatever. The broad strokes paint a pretty interesting picture.

The T239 Leak

Starting at the very beginning of the proper speculation for a Switch successor is the leak of the T239 chip which was acquired as collateral from Nvidia getting hacked. The T239 is a SoC that looks very much like it is designed to support a dedicated video gaming system and because of their existing partnership with the Switch people conclude that this is likely a new Nintendo console. Digital Foundry made this article covering details about the chip as well as some experimenting to try and approximate the power of the system as well as test it against some big gen eight games. I won't go too into the analysis as it's highly controversial amongst the spergs who argue with each other about Switch 2 leaks. The main takeaways are:

  • a custom built SoC made special for Nintendo; no more off the shelf Tegra X1

  • Ampere architecture

  • 8x ARM A78C CPU (this wasn't in the original leak but was determined some time later)

  • 1536 CUDA cores

  • 128-bit/LPDDR5 memory interface

  • DLSS capable with tensor cores

  • ray tracing cores as well

  • maximum memory bandwidth of 102GB/s

  • a dedicated file decompression block

  • reportedly demo'd a build of Breath of the Wild with zero loading times and maybe also at 4K60FPS (the latter point is not as widely corroborated amongst journoids)

Overall, it's already looking like a substantial step-up from the og Switch in terms of performance and capability. As there really wasn't a generational leap between the Wii U and Switch this is an exciting prospect for Nintendo fans. It's also reason for optimism with regard to third party support as the test yielded decent performance for Death Stranding that is about equivalent to the PS4. At this point, however, there are still quite a few big question marks hanging over the system like RAM amount, the internal storage, the clock speeds, the process node it was fabbed on, the screen, the list goes on.

The Shipment Manifest Leaks

For a long while the T239 specs were all that there was to pore over for Switch 2 information. There were paltry nuggets found through datamining firmware and OS updates for the Switch that hinted at some form of compatibility with the successor but still nothing especially interesting. That is until the :!marseytrain:s and other assorted ResetEra rejects of Famiboards realized that they can look up customs data regarding international shipping through a number of different websites. I guess this is how people dig for info about upcoming smartphone models yet for whatever reason no one had thought to do the same for vidya consoles until now. Anyway, they set to work filtering results for data pertaining to Nintendo, Nvidia, and Nintendo's manufacturing partners in Vietnam and what do you know, they find some pretty interesting stuff. It looks like prototype models for a device with an identifying code that doesn't match any currently known Nintendo product.

Dimensions

These being shipping manifests some pretty comprehensive details about the physical dimensions of the system are discovered quickly.

Size of the Switch successor itself:

  • 206mm x 115mm x 14mm (the original Switch is at 173mm x 102mm x 13.9mm)

The Joycons and dock are also a bit larger than their Switch 1 counterparts but I'm having trouble finding the exact measurements for them.

Peripherals

A built-in mic is discovered as well as details about magnets in the manifest that lead people to think that the new Joycons will attach magnetically to the Switch instead of via rails.

A giant fricking fan

Easily the most lolwtf find from the whole system.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924301aLH7NZQyQg-edw.webp

Presumably this is going to go in the new dock for the system which raises... interesting possibilities for how hard they intend to push this thing in docked mode.

New Shipment Discoveries

Later on, after the investor's meeting where Nintendo first acknowledged the existence of a successor to the Nintendo Switch in May 2024 they would discover a new shipment with a few more details about the system.

RAM

Two 6 GB LPDDR5X chips are found in the data. This was a significant find for two reasons: it put to rest long held anxieties about 8 GB and hopes for 16 GB and it also puts the Switch 2 ahead of the Xbox Series S by 2 GB. It's also assumed that the Switch 2's OS will also be very lean and lightweight unlike what's used for Xbox. The Xbox Series S is seen as the best hope for the Switch 2 getting substantial third support since many big games will have already had to be scaled down in order to work on the S (and by extension be allowed to release on the Series X). As a result the Series S is what Nintendo fans are hopeful the Switch 2 will be comparable to.

Storage

A 256 GB UFS 3.1 storage chip is found. UFS 3.1 had long been speculated as the likely choice for storage based on what was popular in the smartphone space. It's a pretty fast storage medium and not too far off from what the PS5 and Xbox Series have.

This post is a much denser breakdown of the shipping finds if anyone is interested.

Possible Factory Leaks Begin

The September Leak

It's in September of 2024 that photos allegedly of the Switch 2 in various states start to appear on the Internet.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17369243012IjYf06Wl872sQ.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924301Rtk7Ba8UjFXnQA.webp

These photos end up being quite contentious. The perspective of the case sitting on the desk looks off to me and feels like it was a poor shop. For what it's worth people closely examining the motherboard find product codes that match that of one of the prototypes found in the shipping manifests.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924302n2GJnGo24ht1Xw.webp

The sole revelation from this batch of photos is the extra USB-C port on the top of the system as seen in this CAD render.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924302SOhb-HMCdFhKtA.webp

Lastly here's the front facing view of the complete system.

The December Leak

Guy on Xitter pops up claiming to have photos of a completed Switch 2 model. I believe that he goes on to torch his own credibility by claiming that he used AI manipulation on the photos to better protect his identity.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17369243024m5spMps1QikgA.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924302yqycSEd8j6rsvg.webp

(The left photo is allegedly the new dock.)

The January Leak

Another leak from Chinese social media. This time of the Joycons. One aspect in particular makes it (in my opinion) the most fun photo leak by a country mile.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924303sytmMXW6rGjFdQ.webp https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924303osmlLXNOCsbOfw.webp

Notice the little square sensor near the middle of the Joycon? Looks a bit like a mouse sensor, doesn't it? My God, it looks like it even has glide pads...

The debate between the mouse sensor camp and IR sensor camp has been on-going. The OG Switch has IR sensors in its Joycons (for the like 12 games that use it lmao) so it's not impossible that is what these are. However, recent findings like mouse support being found in firmware updates for the Switch and shipping data indicating the presence of mouse soles would seem to support the mouse theory. Zany if true.

The Clockspeeds Leak

Finally, just today another big mystery about the specs seems to have at long last been solved. An established dataminer revealed on Famiboards what he believes to be the various clockspeeds that will be used in the Switch 2.

Handheld: CPU 1100.8 MHz, GPU 561 MHz, EMC 2133 MHz
Docked: CPU 998.4 MHz, GPU 1007.25 MHz, EMC 3200 MHz

The user in question will come to Famiboards every once and a while to post about new discoveries made in the Switch's firmware and OS so it's assumed these numbers also came from that. The more interesting theory is that the Switch 2's SDK has leaked somewhere and that it's where he's actually getting this.

Some rough estimations for the TFLOPS of each power profile have been made and come out to 1.72 TFLOPS for portable and 3.09 TFLOPS for docked.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1736924303DuWNls7yejnT7w.webp

Fun visualization of the power difference.

The difference in CPU speeds has weirded a lot of people out. The Switch 1 keeps the same clockspeed for docked and portable and it's doubly weird that the Switch 2's docked mode has the lower clockspeed. It's lead some people to cast doubt on these being accurate numbers. We'll have to wait and see.

Lingering Questions

The Screen

Despite being listed in the shipment data nothing concrete has been found about the Switch 2's screen. People have made claims that they say is sourced from insider information but all of it has sounded like safe, educated guesses. They'll probably go with LCD screens again because it's cheaper (and so they can make tendies double dip with OLED models later down the line :marseyjewoftheorient: ). A 7.91 inch screen is something specific that has been claimed. This would be a huge increase over the base Switch's 6.2-inch screen and even the OLED model's 7-inch screen. It is assumed by everyone that it will be a 1080p screen, up from the Switch's 720p screen.

The Process Node

The question of what process node the Switch 2's hardware will be made on has probably been the single most hotly debated question about the thing. Heated arguments over whether it will be 4nm (le good) or 8nm (LE BAD) have been raging since the T239 was discovered and it gets very neurodivergent. What the frick do these numbers mean, exactly? I dunno, I guess before 28nm nodes were a thing it was some kind of specific measurement in a circuit board but now it's just branding basically. What matters is that smaller = better and better process nodes allow for smaller form factor and better power efficiency. Both are very important in a handheld. It's been a near constant back and forth of people citing a somewhat reliable but also spotty guy on Xitter who claims it's for sure 8nm, followed by people saying that 8nm is obviously too old for something that finished in 2022 and that Nintendo would NEVER cheap out on hardware. Every time an alleged photo of the motherboard drops people rush to estimate the process node based on analysis of the photo and napkin math which then prompts other people to write essays explaining why trying to estimate the node size that way is fricking r-slurred and completely unreliable. The leaks of the clockspeeds has tempered this somewhat and it looks like 7nm might be what people gravitate towards as general consensus. Either way, we won't know until tech reviewers get their hands on the final product and do teardowns. Not like it matters at this point.

The Games

Not a fricking thing has been leaked about games for the Switch 2. In the wake of basically everything about the hardware being laid bare almost a full year in advance of Nintendo saying anything about the system this is a bit surprising. Just goes to show how airtight Nintendo are and how funny it is that Nvidia keep fricking them over despite that. At best people have made the biggest brain predictions like that a new 3D Mario will come out seven years after the last one released.

Conclusion

That's basically everything worth mentioning. It's a little wild to finally be on the verge of getting something official about this system after all this time feeling like I already know quite a bit about it.

Our first female Great General is born during the Russian push, Albia Domenica

I told @Ubie last game I would actually have the next general fight in the field, this will be especially advantageous if I get the Brandenberg Gate wonder up.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17370486959urFjgnK_8Oigw.webp

The problem with using Great Generals in the field base game is that the risk of losing them at 90% odds over battle after battle is just too great. Most often the AI only uses them like this as a last ditch chance to defend a city, as Ethiopia did. Brandenberg Gate actually incentivizes you to sacrifice them.

I start working on it in Pella, Greece

:marseysigh: Now they are the "Province of Samartia". I will of course return their core cities to them, and hopefully influence them to become Catholic.

You may notice in the diplo tooltip that my stability is just barely dipping into "Unstable" :tayaaa:

Agrippina lands ready to take Edo, but we're probably going to need to pivot to Kyoto (Heian-kyou)

Oh, great, it looks like the Ottomans have shown up :marseyhelp:

Only 400 years late

I'm probably going to have to deal with these secessions like Turkey and Morocco for a while :marseycry: Greece or Egypt seceding would probably be the biggest nuisance.

Agrippina is even more stubborn about not dying.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737082060ZrErvEjcluQU9g.webp

We push into Edo and call a crusade on Japan and they still won't capitulate. Should have figured they would fight to the end. :marseyseppuku:

I restore most of Russia's conquered core to them. Hanging onto Poland and Ukraine for now.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737082522QctXvWEVtDiATg.webp

I can liberate Ukraine but don't really want to. If I could set Poland free I would, but I think France owning Tarnopol is blocking it.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737082523ehzvoDcivIPARw.webp

Russia really likes me now and is willing to convert to Catholicism. Part of the reason I did all this shit was for Foreign stability. Russia is usually a peepee but now we're homies and he's another stable vassal. Japan would have been similar but now that they're out of this world they'll no longer contribute to negative foreign stability.

Planning on raiding Sendai until Agrippina dies to reset the counter :marseypsycho: Apparently this reset only happens once :marseyretard2:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1737082914yn8wm1bD5Rpglg.webp

Either way, we are now mostly stable.

and finally at peace :marseyrelieved:

Why do so many black women shave their heads and dye it blonde?

I just saw another at the superbowl pre game black woman band show and I'm really at a loss here. Why are they trying to look as ugly as possible? Is it some feminist thing? Why blonde, to get back at whitey? Why are most of them fat?

The rate of obesity in particular rose steeply, doubling in adults between 1990 and 2021 to more than 40 percent β€” and nearly tripling, to 29 percent, among girls and women aged 15 to 24.

I am so happy for our girls

"Obesity comes from genetic, physiological and environmental interactions," she said. "It's not the fault of any one individual who has the disease."

I agree father mother skinny daughter fat, genetic not her fault

Completely unsurprised. Have been watching this happen for about the last 20 years. Watching school kids get more and more overweight, compared to my high school days in the 80's, where there were only 2-3 what would be called "obese" kids in my class of 300. And they weren't even THAT big.

Go to a flea market in the U.S now on a weekend. That is a real eye-opener, to the current mass obesity phenomenon ..

We are headed for the space ships of Wall-E ...

I spend 3 years in high school with 12 foid classmates and 2 were overweight rest obese to super obese. I respected them a lot

I remember once's when they started talking about guys and what they like I was like this

https://media.tenor.com/NLp57LxPlJMAAAAx/omg-gif.webp

Because I thought they were delusional to think they don't deserve what they want obviously, they first and all were for me genderless persons.

So they coped by calling me gay because I never hit on any of them

"Gun" manufacturer spergs out about Gun Jesus

Shot Show, a big firearm manufacturer convention, was this last week in Las Vegas. Some small manufacturing and machine shop by the name of BSD Fabrication & Works showed up promoting that they would be building copies of Russian VSS firearms, which would be a cool item to own.

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons interviewed them and posted a video yesterday about his conversation with them, in which he expresses skepticism about their ability to do so (for example, Ian finds their comment about how "easy" it is to stamp metal concerning) but genuinely does hope for the best.

He also makes a comment about this in a private Facebook group, informing people that he does not recommend giving them deposits beforehand.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738009534Jt3kuvyvaXFd_A.webp

In any case, the owner of the shop starts sperging out on his personal Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BNtQxTwmp/

https://i.rdrama.net/images/17380095346Qkp9fAGo_YrLQ.webp

Most comments are from people supporting him as he continues whining as much as he can.

Although there are instances of people pointing out that these are mild concerns and criticisms.

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1738009535Nk7WYlGZlTCf6Q.webp

There's about 70 comments in the facebook post.

Redditors in the /r/nfa sub (dealing with laws and regs created from the National Firearms Act) also learn about this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/1iafjns/has_anybody_seen_ians_video_on_the_bsd_vss/

BSD is a clown and a C tier machinist. Charged an arm and two legs for simple machine work in the old days of the form 1 community.

For the curious about his history. This guy even used to bead blast his parts to hide chatter on threads

ETA: the HUBRIS of BSD with the stamping question. Lol. Lmao, even.

If memory serves, he got banned from /r/NFA because he was constantly hawking his services.

Link referencing his history is further down.

The guy is a meth head and an absolutely terrible machinist. :marseyseizure:

The history referenced in that first comment is this link here (bunch of pictures in this post):

https://old.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/16j4e0b/heads_up_about_bsd_fabrication_works_llc/

Ah the first picture explains his pricing. When I heard what he was charging for those Surefire conversions, I thought he was smoking crack. Turns out it's actually meth.

:marseyxd:

Anyways yea this r-slurred meth addict reeeing about a mild critique is definitely going to re-engineer a niche firearm and sell it to the masses.

:marseysoyhype: Lift, run, fight, shoot. Become strong in all.

:chudsmug: So basically, you're all fricked

:chudglassesglow: Yep lol

They post shit like this while their side unironically believes the below

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jun/03/getting-fit-could-turn-you-into-a-rightwing-jerk


:shadowrage: And don't forget to look up delicious, healthy recipes in the @N@rchist cookbook!

:marseychuddance: Yall are screwed ngl

:marseychud: You won't do shit

:soysnooseethe: Sounds like projection on your part.


:marseysoylentgrin: I'm never going to be strong enough to repel a Nazi, but generalizing here, keep up your health. It is beneficial in so many ways I won't bother to list them. Everyone on reddit hates me because I always bring up cooking your own food, not smoking, not drinking, getting exercise every day, giving up fast food and ultraprocessed stuff. It's all key to keeping your body and teeth healthy over the years.

The effects are cumulative - one day you wake up and you have some godawful chronic disease, or your ticker isn't what it could be, or you need yet another root canal, and you are slowed down and inconvenienced by having to use the medical system all the time, take pills, etc.

Also, get an annual check up if only so you have a record of your own stats. It's actually interesting to compare your numbers year to year.

:marseyauthright: As a nazi myself, this is all really good advice. Regardless of what ideology you have, everyone should abandon unhealthy lifestyles and unhealthy food. Most fast food/door dash and other stuff you get in groceries are deliberately kept unhealthy in order to have a population that can't resist and constantly kept broke and in debt. (not to mention how immoral some of the sources of this food are.) You don't need to be shredded but eating well and working out daily with basic calisthenics goes a long way.


:marseytroll: As someone who's immunocompromised from a COVID vaccine injury, I've learned that sometimes the best choice isn't to fight head-on, but to hide and protect myself. It's a hard reality, but sometimes survival means stepping back, staying safe, and waiting for a time when I'm stronger.

In Harry Potter, Harry and his friends often had to choose between direct confrontation and retreat. Hiding, like when Harry and his allies went into hiding in The Deathly Hallows, was often the wisest choice. It wasn't about surrender, but about preserving their strength for when it was truly needed.

Similarly, Anne Frank showed us the power of survival. She and her family lived in hiding, and though it was painful and isolating, it was their only chance to stay alive. Sometimes, hiding isn't a sign of weakness; it's a strategy to make sure we can continue the fight later.

For me, hiding isn't giving up. It's about protecting my health and holding onto hope for a better, safer future.

:soyjakwow: (OP) this is real and valid, but PLEASE try to avoid citing transphobic authors. Stay safe!

:chudspin: This thread is the most chronically online shit I've ever seen in my life 😭

:marseytroublemaker: I am trans so I don't want to lift too much, maybe some toning


:marseyderp: That's a little ableist but I'll support the idea of being healthy! I'm on track at the moment having gone from 260 -> 250 lbs, nearly there =)

thats literally just water weight lmao you can drop that much in less than a week on any strict diet. So you haven't really accomplished anything. Don't pat yourself on the back too hard there bud

No negativity in my revolution :marseydownvotemad:

Go with testosterone, as well. Makes you more conservative.

Or just stop taking estrogen lmfao
