What we know (and what we can guess) about Nintendo Switch’s insides
How big is the Nintendo Switch? An Ars visual analysis
Summary of their speculation:
- CPU may be a custom Nvidia Tegra chip (based on ARM)
- GPU may be 256 CUDA cores on Nvidia's Pascal architecture
- a vent and presumably a fan are located on the top edge of the tablet
- video out when docked should be 1080p (duh)
- tablet screen may be 720p, reducing power demands for better battery use
- tablet screen is ~145 x 82 mm (about 166 mm or 6.5" diagonal)
- backwards compatibility with existing Wii U games is extremely unlikely; games will need to be rebuilt/recompiled for Switch
- those slide-off Joy-Con controllers are tiny at ~106.4mm x 34.3 (4.19 x 1.35")
