Nintendo fans have been hungry for Switch successor info for months now, but that’s gone into overdrive this week, and it’s all thanks to Nintendo saying they’ll be sharing the first, official details on the hardware sometime this fiscal year.
While we wait for Nintendo to give us that first real drop of details, the industry insiders and superfans are making the internet rounds trying to figure out anything and everything about this hardware. That leads us to the latest rumor, which supposedly gives us some insight into the platform’s specs.
Some incredibly dedicated Nintendo fans have gone out of their way to track shipment and customs data between Nintendo, NVIDIA, and other companies, all in the hopes of gleaning details on Switch’s follow-up. Those efforts may have paid off recently, as tracking info has returned the following tech details:
- 12 GB RAM (two 6 GB 7500 MT/s LPDDR5 modules)
- 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage
- built-in microphone
- RAM is specifically LPDDR5X
Now as always, nothing is confirmed until Nintendo says so. With that in mind, you’d have to think that the sources behind this info lead to the info itself being at least somewhat trustworthy. As Nintendo never shares tech specs on their platforms, we likely won’t know if this leak is legit until we have the hardware in our hands.
