Nintendo Switch Teardown Pictures Leaked

The inevitable has happened, albeit earlier than expected; there are teardown pictures of the Switch!

A Chinese forum has some interesting information, involving Nintendo's latest console. Another person has gotten their hands on an early Switch, and they've taken the system apart, showcasing what's under the hood of the Nintendo Switch. There's not too much information on it yet, as it's all in Chinese, but here's what's been uncovered right now:

  • Date code is "1629" in addition to the A2 stepping.

  • This means 2016 Week 29 which is around July 2016.

  • ODNX02-A2 is another code printed.
    • This seems to confirm that this IS a custom chip for Nintendo. Considering the Switch was codenamed Nintendo NX during its development.
  • We also see PANN39.C0P?? as the other code above ODNX02-A2.

Notably, the Switch shares a very, very similar SoC with the 2017 edition of the Nvidia Shield TV. You can see the photo of that comparison here. More images are below.

Pictures of the a seemingly legit complete teardown of the Nintendo Switch has been leaked on a Chinese forum today. They are all below, for your visual pleasure:

Looks like more than one lucky buyer got his/her order before the scheduled release date! :)

Special thanks to @Mr Objection for pointing this out to us! :yay:

Oh. Well that's not the case here, my stepdad really does work at Nvidia Labs. Since he worked on the Tegra 4 project, they gave him a Shield Portable, which he gave to me for Christmas in 2014. I still have the 450GTS he gave me that has the service tag on it.
You might as well tell people his name, social security number, address and shoe size.
Jesus...

I can't wait for the hack/softmod Hope we get good games this time, an exclusive wrestling title, Mario kart switched (not 8 deluxe), new but old style Turok, Diddy Kong racing 2 and all the call of duty games that are released are expected to be on the switch.

Couldn't they add UFS instead of eMMC? Tsk tsk tsk.



This is what it is deal with it or GTFO. If the switch becomes the next big thing it will be good. The other 2 need to be knocked off their high horse a bit.

How does Nintendo's **** taste like? [emoji14] JK of course, but why would they need to be knocked off of their high horse?

As for the specs, i don't care at this point. We know we are not getting a ps4 pro. What we are getting is a gaming tablet with modern nvidia chip sets that's got some customizations.
At least we are not getting a console that is really a low end PC with a low end laptop amd cpu, painted with next gen paint. The switch is a hybrid handheld/console. it was never going to be a true standalone console. This is what it is deal with it or GTFO. If the switch becomes the next big thing it will be good. The other 2 need to be knocked off their high horse a bit.

Yup :P Glorious PC Gaming Master race !

lol people are complaining its a modified nvidia shield... well no shit, welcome to 2016 bruh. and those saying underpowered hardware, do you realize how much its gonna cost to toss the power of a ps4 pro in a tablet...
I bet you also wonder why a gaming laptop is more expensive then a desktop...
As for the ram it seems they are 2 GB each unless there is internal ram somewhere. Nintendo should not complain about it getting hacked when their are obvious test points.

We are dealing with it's shortcomings, we just discuss it too. Personally i am not buying it until either 1. is super successful -> 3rd parties jump along, 2. price comes down/bundles appear/accessories are normal priced 3. is hacked. Bankrolled Nintendo far too long, my Switch money is going to retro stuff at the moment.

This is coming from the same place that leaked the teardown

If this ends up being true, what are y'all Thoughts?

Here's the translation of the attatched conversation, courtesy of /r/translator

In standby mode, the thing runs at 314MHz CPU clock speed and 275MHz GPU clock speed. Keep in mind that that's standby mode speed, not operational.

When doing a benchmark called Julia running at 480x360, the FPS is 267FPS, whereas the PSVita benched at 82FPS. The combined CPU and GPU power is at about 375.06 GFLOPS.

After docking(I assume that's what the person is trying to say with the follow up information,) the CPU is running at 2.1GHz with the GPU maxing out at 1005 MHz. The benchmark ran at [email protected] CPU and GPU combined whereas the XB1 ran at 1060FPS, PS4 at 1349 FPS, and the PS4Pro at 2983FPS..

Gives some insight where the 875 Glflops comes from

What's amazing is, something very slightly less powerful than the XBone, is as small as 3 times a ds card.
Technology man. Can you imagine if you went back in time 30 years and told people who were using giant, one megabyte hard drives, that a 100gb flash drive would be the size of a fingernail?

Could you have gone back to the 1700's and told them that we could fly, use horseless vehicles, and produce light without fire?

Interesting. I doubt they are taking a loss on the unit as it doesn't seem like anything special?
I think the margins are very thin or break even at that price, the real profit come from the games and accessories (just look at how much they are asking for an extra pair of JoyCons)
