Nintendo Switch 2 Teardown Reveals Detailed Look at Nvidia Chip

Sure! Here’s your reimagined article:

So, the Nintendo Switch 2 just launched, and guess what? People are already tearing it apart. Literally. I stumbled upon this YouTube channel, ProModding, and they’ve gone full mad scientist on the new console. They cracked it open and put its guts under a microscope — kind of like tech version of dissecting frogs in biology class.

I mean, they started by fiddling with the screws at the bottom. There’s a kickstand and more screws hiding under those funky colored covers where the Joy-Cons click in. Seriously, how many screws does it take to hold this thing together? Anyway — wait! Back to the point — off comes the back cover, and BAM, there’s this shiny metal shielding. They seem to just flick it away after pulling out the antennae. Who knew antennas could be so cooperative?

Now, picture this: they yank out the cooler, disconnect the battery (like you do when you’re trying to remember your WiFi password), and voilà, the motherboard slides right out. The grand reveal? An Nvidia chip — sounds like GMLX30-A1 if numbers get your heart racing. They say it matches some leaks from 2024. Who would’ve thought, right?

Oh, there’s this whole gallery of chip pics that ProModder shared. Microscope city, folks! Every tiny IC on the board got its 15 minutes of fame. I blame curiosity — it’s got me debating if I should try this myself. But then there’s the “you break it, you buy it” policy looming overhead — opening your Switch could nix your warranty or even brick your gizmo. So, yeah, maybe pass on playing console surgeon.

By the way, Nintendo’s been updating its rulebook. Something about not messing with your console’s hardware or software. Sounds intense. Don’t want to end up with a $300 paperweight, do we?

Anyway, backtracks… until tomorrow (yeah, June 5), we’ll stick to watching brave souls on YouTube play around. Meanwhile, Nintendo techs will probably sit with their secret manuals, chuckling at us.

Oh, and not to pivot too abruptly, but if you’re into this kind of geeky stuff, follow Tom’s Hardware on Google News. Tap that follow button and geek out with all the latest analyses, reviews, and whatever else.

Catch you on the flip side!
