Is the Switch 2 Getting ORIN (2022) or ATLAS (2025) Nvidia Tegra chip for a 2025 release?

True, but maybe Alistair didn't mean about Next Gen? We can get a Switch V3 with Orin, Fanless and an amazing battery life. Or a Pro that I doubt.

If we get a better Switch with Odin, I'm pretty sure that Atlas would be the Next Gen, but Odin architecture could be a problem, so maybe a Tegra X++ 7nm.

At this point, a Switch v3 with this type of hardware wouldn't make sense. The gap is too big.

Orin is a generation above what the Switch can do. We are talking twice the RAM with four times the bandwidth, four times the CUDA cores...and this is all minimum (i.e. the lowest Orin variant). I don't think Nintendo would use this just for a Pro variant. It's just too much of a leap up. 

If Nintendo goes with a stock Jetson it has 4X the Ram of Switch at 16GB. Not sure they will go as low as 8 in 2024. They increased the ram of Switch before launch and I think they do for Oriin as well. 10-12GB total instead of 8.
