I have a hard time buying that. That's Nvidia's cutting edge SoC. Nintendo tends to go with older more established hardware. Maybe for a true Switch successor but for a revision, ORIN would be far too much. I think at most they'd go with Xavier. It's Volta based so it would a Tensor Cores which are necessary for DLSS. Volta is two gens old, architecture wise, for Nvidia. Plus it would address one of the biggest developer complaints about Switch. Memory bandwith. While hardly blisteringly fast. Xavier has 5 and half times (136.5GB/s) the bandwidth of Tegra X1 (25.6GB/s).
