New specs leak just dropped:

  • T239 SoC

  • TSMC N4 node process (4 nanometre?)

  • 8-core A78C CPU, clock rates unknown, don't know what's meant by GA10F (this could be the GPU line)

  • 12 stream multiprocessor GPU, performance ranging from 3.5 to 4.5 TFLOPs docked and 1.7 to 2.0 TFLOPs handheld

  • 12 or 16GB RAM, LPDDR5 DRAM

  • 100GB/s memory bandwidth docked and 88GB/s handheld

  • Memory cache specifics uncertain, Tegra GPU cores may be able to access CPU cache

  • Display is 8" screen with 1080p and 60hz refresh rate

  • Internal storage either 256 or 512GB

  • Cartridge specifics unknown, but 3D-NAND may provide a cost-effective way to significantly increase storage

  • Expanded/external(?) storage and battery details remain unknown

Sounds about right and consistent with the leak. 

Puts it roughly in line with (maybe a bit better than) last year's PC handhelds (Rog Ally, Lenovo Legion GO), and towards the mid end of what probably will be available in November of this year, PC handheld-wise. 

So basically a Rog Ally-level device with DLSS and close-platform optimizations likely enabling it to target slightly better image quality at the same graphics settings/frame rates. I suspect that Nintendo might target a slightly higher power-consumption profile than Switch 1 given it probably will be bigger than the original switch (supporting a larger battery) and mobile active cooling systems have gotten a lot better since 2017.
