When Nintendo revealed the Switch 2 on April 2, there was a lot of excitement over the powered-up portable console. However, some gamers weren't thrilled about its LCD screen. But, like the original,

Nintendo hired Samsung to build the main chips for the Switch 2, including an 8-nanometer processor custom designed by NVIDIA, Bloomberg reported. That would mark a move by Nintendo away from TSMC, which manufactured the chipset for the original 2017 Switch.

That’s according to a report from Bloomberg, which noted that processor job is a leg up for Samsung as it competes with TSMC in the chip foundry arena.
