After rumors about Sony shutting down the digital store of some of its older platforms, new rumors emerged today, but this time about Nintendo’s upgraded Switch. According to a new report from Bloomberg, according to “people familiar with the matter”, the rumored Switch Pro will use “an upgraded Nvidia chip with better graphics and processing”. This chipset will provide the new Switch model with better CPU and increased memory. It will also support Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) which uses A.I. to efficiently deliver higher-fidelity graphics.
The report notes that since DLSS support requires new code to be added to games, this feature will be mainly used to enhance the graphics of upcoming titles. This information comes from the aforementioned sources and “multiple game developers”.
This new Switch upgrade will apparently also feature an upgraded 7-inch OLED display from Samsung. The new NVIDIA chip will also reportedly “reproduce game visuals at 4K quality when plugged into a TV”.
Bloomberg also mentions that this new Switch model is planned to release for the end of year shopping season, with analysts tipping the price tag at $400.
Again, we should take these news with a pinch of salt as Bloomberg’s sources “asked not to be identified because the plan is not public”. But rumors around a Switch Pro model have been circulating for a while now. Would you buy one with these specs at this price at the end of this year?
