According to a Korean outlet thelec, the Switch 2 is on Sammy 5nm. Not sure about the source, but if true would make sense given what we've seen with regards to performance-per-watt.

The price of Switch 2 in Korea is the second lowest after Japan. The exchange rate of 1,440 won per dollar was applied. It is assumed to be 2.2% lower than the current dollar/won exchange rate. In addition to the geographical proximity to the production facility, the fact that Korea's Vietnamese console tariff is only 8% was a factor in determining the price. Some say that Samsung Foundry sets the price low because it produces semiconductors through 5nm joint production, which shortens the supply route.




5nm Samsung would make some sense for sure. 

Apparently SuperMetalDave64, the Youtube Nintendo fan says Digital Foundry counted pixels and Metroid Prime 4 is 4K native 60 fps on the Switch 2. That's pretty darn impressive if true. 

It also hits 1080p/120fps in performance mode apparently.

On Switch 1 it's 900p/60fps, so it's about x6 higher res in 4K mode on Switch.
