According to information from reliable sources, the new Nintendo Switch will use an NVIDIA chip with DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) support. The information came through the Bloomberg website, where it says that the graphics chip will bring improvements in GPU and CPU performance, in addition to using DLSS to transmit 4K images on TVs.
About DLSS
The implementation of DLSS was made available along with NVIDIA's RTX20 series video cards, which are based on the Turing architecture. There have been different versions of the technology where GPU tensor cores and AI training are used in specific games. The result of this is being able to render a game at a lower resolution and achieving a higher output with minimal performance loss.
Benefits of NVIDIA's New Chip for Nintendo Switch
The new chip can theoretically become an excellent solution for the Nintendo Switch, as sometimes the console "sighs" to reach its own native resolutions in HD (720p) in portable mode or in Full HD (1080p) transmitting to the TV. Previously, the Nintendo Switch originally used a Tegra X1, which was announced in 2015, before NVIDIA stopped producing general-purpose mobile chipsets.
According to VGChartz, the Nintendo Switch has sold 80,79 million units worldwide since its launch.
Specifications
According to Bloomberg, the new Nintendo Switch will have a 7-inch OLED screen and will be released in late 2021, in December.
