Rumor: Has the Nintendo Switch Dev Kit Spec Sheet Leaked?

So, today’s been a huge day for Nintendo fans! They finally announced the Nintendo Switch, the next-gen system we’ve all been waiting for.

As exciting as it is to see the reveal, Nintendo kept their tradition going by not giving us any specific technical details. I get it—they like to keep things mysterious. But the good news? Some new info may have just surfaced, giving us a peek under the hood!

Our trusty Twitter leaker, NWPlayer123, claims to have insider knowledge from the development kits that are currently with a few lucky game developers. Now, while these details aren’t officially confirmed, they do paint an interesting picture of what we might expect from the Switch. Here’s what’s reportedly inside:

  • Processor: Four ARM Cortex-A57 cores, clocked at a max of 2GHz
  • Graphics: Nvidia second-gen Maxwell architecture, featuring 256 CUDA cores at up to 1 GHz, delivering 1024 FLOPS/cycle
  • Memory: 4GB RAM with a 25.6 GB/s transfer rate, shared with VRAM
  • Storage: 32GB (max transfer speed of 400 MB/s)
  • Ports: USB 2.0 & 3.0 support
