"Assessing the Delayed Launch and Performance Potential of the Nintendo Switch 2"
The Nintendo Switch 2's T239 chip is unlikely to match the performance of the Xbox Series S, even if it were a desktop SoC with a 50W TDP, according to a prominent leaker. The leaker emphasized that the Xbox Series S would still outperform the Switch 2 in terms of raw performance and ray tracing capabilities. However, rumors suggest that the Switch 2 may feature Ray Reconstruction support, potentially improving its ray tracing performance. The console's release is rumored to have been delayed to ensure sufficient stock for launch, aiming to avoid the supply shortages experienced by other recent gaming consoles.
