Nintendo ’s Switch 2 specs page is light on details, but Digital Foundry has shared what it says are “rock solid” specifications for the upcoming console.

The Switch 2's custom Nvidia T239 system-on-a-chip uses an ARM Cortex A78C CPU with eight cores.

The console also has 12 GB of LPDDR5X memory, though the system will hold 3 GB in reserve.

Nintendo is offering developers a GameChat testing tool that “simulates API latency and L3 cache misses”.
