Another Nintendo Switch 2 leak has appeared and this time it comes from Business Korea. The Korean publication claims a number of things, including that we could ultimately see the release of the Switch 2 at the end of the year. The site also states that Samsung is the main component supplier for the platform and that it will use a Tegra T239 chip, which is essentially a PlayStation 4 with ray tracing capabilities and DLSS. You can read the main points of the article in this handy summary from Reddit member Fidler_2K:
