did this go anywhere?

 

Why? Worried that if it did it'll be too fresh to necro?

Wikipedia says Tesla put Tegra chips into the early Tesla S models, and that the first Nintendo Switch was developed on custom Tegra X1 hardware.

I DO remember being pretty excited when this news came out. NVidia was doing cool new things and the future looked SO bright ._.

 

no-one had replied to it so i felt sorry for it
just looking at things other than pc....for a change.

there is unlimited potential for electronics. i wouldnt be worried.

 

Pretty sure the switch 2 is tegra

 

From Wikipedia:

The console's alleged system on a chip, the Nvidia Tegra T239 (codenamed "Drake"), was leaked in the 2022 Nvidia ransomware attack by Lapsus$. It features an octa-core ARM Cortex-A78C CPU, a 12 SM Ampere GPU, and a 128-bit LPDDR5 memory interface.[55] Internal Activision emails from FTC v. Microsoft indicated that in terms of power, the console would be similar to eighth generation consoles like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.[56] Nintendo has confirmed the Switch 2 supports Nvidia's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology and ray tracing.[57] Nvidia confirmed the console contains tensor and RT cores and will use variable fresh rate through Nvidia G-Sync in handheld mode.[58] It will also support Wi-Fi 6.[59][40]
