CT Scan of Nintendo Switch 2 Reveals Layered Internals, Highlighting Nvidia Tegra SoC

Sure thing! Here’s a messy reimagining of the article:

So, there I was, minding my own business (sort of) when I stumbled upon this Reddit post — you know, like you do. Anyway, it’s about the Nintendo Switch 2 and what’s under the hood. Yeah, people have already cracked it open. The juicy details are mostly out there, but hey, who doesn’t love a close-up? It’s like looking at your burger and realizing there’s more than just lettuce and tomato. Weird?

Getting sidetracked here. This guy on Reddit, some “Scan-of-the-month” dude, dumped a whole CT scan of this babbling beast online. Don’t ask me why. I guess some folks love peeking inside gadgets — kinda like those weird cooking shows where they dissect food, but make it techy. He even did scans of Apple AirPods and Flipper Zero before. Go figure.

Anyway — oh wait, no. Let’s rewind. So, there’s this image, right? And it’s like, marked up so we know what’s what. The big ol’ chunk? That’s a 5220mAh battery (try saying that five times fast). Then you got this Realtek audio doodad, and a MediaTek thingy for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Oh, and SK Hynix chips tossed in like sprinkles on ice cream. They’ve got a 256GB storage whatchamacallit, plus two LPDDR5X RAM chips. All fancy stuff.

The star attraction? Nvidia SoC. That’s the showstopper. We knew it had a Tegra chip (didn’t we all?), but this teardown made it official. They call it the GGMLX30-A1. Doesn’t roll off the tongue, huh? But there’s a video showing it up-close — layer by layer. Like peeling an onion, but with tech.

Now, some folks took things a bit too far, smashing the screen 50 times with pliers. Why? Beats me. But there’s also a less chaotic teardown, piece by piece, all polite-like. I don’t know. Maybe some people get thrills from tearing things apart.

So what’s next? No clue if the CT scan’s gonna change the world, but it’s cool seeing the insides. We probably knew most of it anyway, let’s be real. Still, for gadget geeks, it’s like a playground.

Follow the stuff on Google News or whatever if you want more. Or don’t. I’m not your boss.
