Okay, so there’s this thing about how people can’t resist cracking open new gadgets the minute they get their hands on them, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no exception. Weirdly enough, it’s like dissecting some high-tech frog in science class, except way cooler. There’s this Reddit user — and I swear, these folks just live for this kind of stuff — who ran a CT scan on the thing. Why? Because they can, I guess.
Anyway, they’ve shared this mind-blowing scan on Reddit (shout out to Scan-of-the-month), and it’s packed to the brim with high-tech goodies, like an Nvidia Tegra SoC. Not that I’m some tech guru or something, but it’s like peeking inside the brain of a gaming console. Fascinating stuff, right?
So, there’s this nifty diagram labeling all the important bits — the battery’s like this big chunk on the left, though honestly, I’d have probably missed it if they hadn’t pointed it out. And hey, it’s got this MediaTek thingamajig for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s just making sure your console talks to the internet or whatever.
The real showstopper here is the Nvidia SoC. I mean, people have been yammering about the Tegra chip forever, and surprise, surprise, it’s actually there, waving its little GGMLX30-A1 flag. There’s something oddly satisfying about seeing this, even if it was pretty much a given.
Of course, in the chaotic world of gaming enthusiasts, it’s not enough to just look at the insides — some thrill-seekers have been smashing the screen with pliers like it’s some bizarre test of bravery. If you ask me, it’s like trying to break into Fort Knox with a rubber chicken.
Oh, and let’s not forget the more civilized teardown videos doing the rounds. Totally not my cup of tea, but hey, to each their own. The funny thing is, after all this hullabaloo, we kind of just circled back to, “Yep, everything’s pretty much as expected.” But hey, it was a fun ride, wasn’t it?
