My Switch 2/3 Prediction

If they keep doing the Switch concept. It will be an Nvidia chip again but not Tegra. Ampere. Base PS4 power level. 1-2.5Tflops. DLSS so games can run at 540P in 1080P and maybe the system docked can go up to 1440P with DLSS. Limited ray tracing as Nintendo loves lighting and will use RT for a Zelda Dungeon or something.

Tegra is the name for a "product skew". - Not the actual chip code name.

You can have an Ampere based Tegra chip... Which is actually happening with Tegra Orin, it will be available next year... And we have known about it for the last several years.

Tegra Volta is likely to match the Playstation 4 in many tasks.

I think due to fillrate limitations of mobile chips we will see the Switch 2 top out at around 1080P, which is fine, it's mobile and will look crisp... It's when you blow it up on a giant display that the limitations seem more pronounced.

Ray Tracing due to the fact it uses dedicated compute cores might be out of the realm of mobile devices due to the substantial additional power requirements required.
