YouTube channel “Geekerwan” switch 2 market launch was disintegrated and analyzed and analyzed and analyzed. The view of Nvidia’s sand processor, which confirms the previous rumors, is particularly exciting.
The name T239 is estimated on the chip. He is the younger brother of T234 aka Oin for vehicles and robots. Chip structures reveal the eight CPU core. The composition orins is similar to Cortex-A78Ae, so that assumptions with ARM architecture by eight cortex-A78C are correct. The AE version vary mainly by certificate for use in cars.
In addition, a total of six so -called textured processor clusters (TPCS), each have two shaders multiprocessors. This is the result in the required 1536 Shader Corps. Two LPDDR5X memory building blocks for a total of 12 GB RAM with processor. Memory building blocks are released for 4267 MHz (LPDDDR5X-8533), but should work with a frequency of the lower clock in switch 2.
Old technology
So far, there has been incompatibility in the manufacturing process. Now it should actually be Samsung’s 8-nenometer process technology, which in turn is only a slight improvement in the 10 Nm class. The distance between the transistor structures, which was determined by the ion fine beam system (focused ion beam), speaks for it.
You agree with structures on GA107 GPU, which Samsung also built with 8-nm technology for NVIDIA. This includes the so -called fin pitch of 42 Nm. This means that the distance between the transistorph women, through which the current flow to switch (8 Nm -like process names has nothing with real sizes). In recent processes, structures will be fine.
The GA107 GPU belongs to the ampere generation and was sitting on the Geforce RTX 3050 6 GB. The switch -2 processor uses the same ampere architecture and is therefore on the 2020 GPU technology stand. Samsung Manufacturing Technology 2017/2018 is also old.
Efficiency is mainly prone to chronic technology than more modern process generations, especially from world market leader TSMC. This in turn reduces the battery life and the waste increases two points, especially with the console in the hand. In turn, the processor should be cheaper for the nintendo.
