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.

Nintendo Co. has turned to Samsung Electronics Co. to help make the main chips for the Switch 2, a move that may help the Japanese company ramp up production of the gaming console enough to sell a higher-than-projected 20 million units by March 2026.

A new report from Bloomberg reveals Nintendo has called on Samsung to "produce the main chips" for the Switch 2 and potentially "ramp up production" if needed. According to the source, this move could allow Nintendo's next-generation system to sell a "higher-than-projected 20 million units by March 2026".
