CT Scan Reveals Layer-by-Layer Internals of Nintendo Switch 2, Featuring Nvidia Tegra SoC

Whoa, okay, so… you know how folks just can’t resist that itch to peek inside something new? Yeah, that’s happening with the Nintendo Switch 2. Seems almost like tradition now, right? Cracking open these gizmos to, I dunno, understand them better? Or maybe it’s just plain curiosity. Anyway, I stumbled upon this Reddit post—this person, Scan-of-the-month or something, did a freakin’ CT scan of the Switch 2! Can you believe that?

Scroll down a bit, and boom, there’s this eerie CT scan of the Tegra 2. Makes you think about the weird stuff people do for fun, huh? So, this part’s when they slapped labels all over the darn image. You get the gist, big ol’ battery here, Realtek thingy there, and, oh, can’t forget that MediaTek Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Spoiler alert: there’s also some SK Hynix doodads crammed in, just chilling there.

The coolest part? That Nvidia SoC, seeing it layer by layer. I mean, it’s like tech candy or something; you just wanna dive in and understand it all. Though, some of these enthusiasts, not always gentle with their toys, broke the Switch 2 screen with pliers 50 times. I mean, ouch, right? There’s this organized, surgical kinda teardown too. Piece by piece, slowly pulling it all apart like some high-tech jigsaw puzzle. Apparently, more confirmation on the Nvidia Tegra SoC—GGMLX30-A1, if labels excite you.

Now, this CT scan thing, are we better off knowing all these details? The setup inside wasn’t exactly a state secret. But still, seeing it this way, it’s kinda fascinating, even if a tad, ya know, expected? Just another day in the life of tech nerds, I guess.

Oh, and before I get lost here, you might wanna check out Tom’s Hardware on Google News if you crave more of these deep dives. Hit that follow button, I think that’s how it works? Dunno, give it a shot.
