The Nintendo Switch 2 could use Samsung’s 5th generation V-NAND, which would be a huge improvement over its predecessor, judging by some recent findings.
As Doctre81 reports in a new video shared on YouTube, the LinkedIn page of a former senior director of the Samsung Electronics Device Solution division who worked at the company until 2019 lists among the key qualifications and responsibilities being having led the development of a NAND Flash controller device for an Unspecified Nintendo game card. Among the main achievements, the former Samsung employee also cites the development of a secure eMMC card powered by Samsung Memory’s 5th generation V-NAND flash, which appears to align not only with the NAND Flash Controller device for unspecified Nintendo game card, but also other information, such as security innovation for unspecified proprietary hardware and the design of a new IP (Physical Unclonable Function) PUF.
The Nintendo Switch 2 requiring faster read speeds than its predecessor isn’t exactly surprising, but Nintendo using 5th generation Samsung V-NAND is still great news, even if by today’s standards it’s ‘a somewhat dated technology, since Samsung is working on the 9th generation. and 10th generation V-NAND, the latter of which is planned for 2025. Still, the speeds of up to 1.4 GB/s offered by the 5th generation should be more than enough for the new console, and a major step up from to his predecessor. .
Very little is known about the Nintendo Switch 2, other than that it will once again be powered by NVIDIA technology. The T239 chip will be a huge step up from the Tegra X1 chip that powers the current Nintendo console, as it supports features like NVIDIA DLSS upscaling and ray reconstruction, likely making it the best ray tracing enabled gaming system on the market. walk.
