I just stumbled upon something intriguing—or maybe I’m just easily fascinated, who knows? Anyway, the community got their hands on the new Nintendo Switch 2, like vultures on… I dunno, something interesting. People just have this urge to peek inside these gadgets, and I totally get that. There’s this Reddit user, who goes by “Scan-of-the-month”—kind of like a CT scan enthusiast, if that’s a thing. They shared a CT scan of the Switch 2 and, honestly, it’s pretty wild in a geeky kind of way.
So, you can check out what the inside of this thing looks like. There’s a big ol’ battery—massive, 5220mAh. I’m not an expert, but that sounds like it could power a small village. Right nearby, there’s some audio chip from Realtek palling around with a MediaTek Wi-Fi and Bluetooth doodad. SK Hynix is in there too, with storage and RAM chips, like the unsung heroes they are.
But, let’s get to the juicy stuff. The Nvidia Tegra SoC. We’ve all heard rumors, like whispers in a library—uhh, that doesn’t work. Anyway, it’s cool to finally get a peek at these chips. This thread had a video zooming in like a microscopic safari. The label on it? GGMLX30-A1. Sounds important, right? Or maybe it just looks cool.
Not everyone in the land of tech is gentle with their gadgets though. Someone recently smashed up the Switch 2 screen with pliers—like, fifty times. Can you even imagine? Who wakes up and decides, “Today, I’m gonna smash a screen 50 times”? Also, there’s this formal teardown video, which sounds like a fancy operation, but it’s all about showing us the guts of the Switch 2 one layer at a time.
After all this, the internal organs—err, parts—of the Switch 2 are no longer a secret. Maybe you’re thinking, “Well, did we learn anything groundbreaking?” Not really. But seeing it all laid out is like looking at a digital autopsy without the gore. And yeah, that’s somehow satisfying. Who knows what’s next? Maybe they’ll start CT scanning toasters. I’d probably watch that.
