There were a few months there where Switch successor rumors died down, but in recent weeks we’ve seen a major uptick, with details coming from trusted inside sources. That trend continues today, and it brings us a bit of discussion on the technical side of things.
Thanks to YouTube channel Moore’s Law Is Dead and content creator The Phawx on the Broken Silicon podcast, we now have some more rumored specials and technical details to go over. Again, none of this is confirmed, but here’s the supposed inside scoop:
- Switch successor will have Xbox Series S-level ray-tracing functionality
- Switch successor will be “clocked faster than we expect” in docked mode
- Switch successor will be “clocked crazy low” when in handheld mode for better battery life
- Nintendo is interested in both extended battery life as well as a low RPM fan
As we push deeper into 2024, the time when we learn official details on the Switch successor is no doubt drawing near. Will we hear something around what would traditionally be E3 time this year, or will Nintendo keep us waiting? All we can do is keep fingers and toes crossed for something official in the near future!
