The current Nintendo Switch is running on an Nvidia Tegra X1, an Arm chip the company originally designed for its Android-based Shield TV. This chip was blazing fast when it debuted a decade ago, but it's sluggish and inefficient by today's standards.

The bigger rumor comes from the Famiboards forums (as spotted by The Game Post ), which tends to feature a ton of gaming leaks. There, leaker and dataminer ZachyCatGames has posted that the Switch 2's GPU clock speeds could hit or surpass 560 MHz when the handheld is in portable mode

Nintendo's next-generation Switch 2 handheld is 'so much weaker than everyone was expecting' in new leaks, but NVIDIA DLSS could save the (Switch 2) day.
