 There are several versions of Orin. No it won't be using the Orin 12 CPU core 32GB of ram but likely would use anything in the 8core 8-16GB of ram range. We know the T239 exists and nothing uses it currently.

I doubt they go with nvda again. Nintendo only went with nvda cause Nintendo got a mind blowing deal on the switch chip set cause they were basically useless for nvda .  I honestly don't see Nintendo going with anything cutting edge cause they never do.

The thing is, for a mobile gaming SoC, NVidia is by far the easiest option.

Other mobile chips don't have GPUs that are directly compatible with the other PC and console counterparts (Though Samsung is getting AMD Radeon graphics in the future) while X86 chips are too power-hungry to get a handheld as light and long-running in handheld mode as the Switch, at least without major modification. For comparison, the Steam Deck and Ayaneo 2 both weight more than double what the Switch OLED does for somewhat worse battery life.
