CT Scan of Nintendo Switch 2 Reveals Detailed Internal Layers, Including Nvidia Tegra SoC

Whoa, so get this — the Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah, folks couldn’t resist peeking under the hood and bam, we’re diving right into the nitty-gritty. I mean, curiosity, right? The specs weren’t exactly a mystery, but, seeing it all up-close? Kind of like snooping in a friend’s closet. Anyway, someone over on Reddit, a user with a knack for CT scans of all things, shared this cool glimpse of the Switch 2’s innards.

I should probably mention, there’s this image floating around — kind of like a digital X-ray of tech stuff. You see this, and you’re like, "Okay, I’m kind of in awe." A Reddit user, ‘Scan-of-the-month’ (what a name!), often drops these scans and seriously, who knew I’d ever care about CT scans of AirPods or something called a Flipper Zero? Yep, those too. They were just like, "Eh, let’s see what Nintendo’s cooking." And sure, why not?

Anyway, back to the geeky treasure map that is this image. There’s this chunky battery — 5220mAh, or something equally battery-sounding — and some audio chip from Realtek nearby, just chilling. Gotta have that sweet Wi-Fi, right? Thanks to MediaTek, of course. And memory bits from SK Hynix? Yep, those are part of the ensemble too — you know, they’re sitting there with all their 256GB storage and RAM chips. Geek speak galore.

But here’s where it gets spicy. The Nvidia SoC — a Tegra chip. Can’t pretend I knew much about it before this, but now, it’s like meeting a new neighbor, GGMLX30-A1 if you care for names. Someone dropped a vid, giving a real close-up of it, layer by intricate layer. Real enthusiasts are all about tearing apart the Switch 2 — gotta love the dedication — but maybe not all in a friendly spirit. Picture this: Somebody with a pair of pliers, beating up the screen like 50 times. Why? No clue. Just seeing what it’s made of, I guess.

There’s also this formal teardown video, so if your thing’s more classy disassembly, that’s covered too. They took it apart with all the finesse, mind you. But, still, seeing this stuff, I couldn’t help but think, “Wow, looks like what I expected but cooler in slideshow form.” Kind of like having a nice chat with a friend who likes to tinker with gadgets.

Honestly, who knows what the Switch 2’s long-term fate is — but for now, it’s neat seeing it laid bare. Makes you wonder what’s next on the Reddit scanner’s list. Maybe something else unexpectedly fascinating, no doubt.

And hey, if you’re into this kind of tech play-by-play, you’d totally wanna catch this stuff first — Google News, anyone? Just a thought.
