CT Scan Reveals Layer-by-Layer Details of Nintendo Switch 2, Highlighting Nvidia Tegra SoC

Alright, so here’s the deal. I stumbled onto this corner of the internet where folks are all jazzed up about, of all things, an inside look at the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s like that weird fascination some people have with looking under the hood of their car, but this time it’s gamified. Who knew electronics could be so… revealing?

Anyway, someone on Reddit, user “Scan-of-the-month” — catchy, right? — decided to give the Switch 2 a CT scan. Yup, not making this up. They apparently felt like peeking inside just ’cause. They’ve done it before with stuff like Apple AirPods. That’s a hobby, I guess? The scan shows all these insides like the Nvidia Tegra SoC. It’s kinda like the brain of the operation if you squint at it.

Oh, there’s a snapshot — right over there, except, wait — picture me waving my hands wildly. Not like you can actually see it here, but trust me, it’s neat. Looking at the image, you’d think it’s a map to some electronic treasure. There’s this big block, which is a battery — massive, right? It’s like the heart of the thing. Next to it, some chip that makes the audio sing, or shriek, depending on how the gaming’s going for you. And wireless stuff too, courtesy of MediaTek, which sounds all sciency and cool.

But, here’s where it gets spicy. The highlight? That Nvidia SoC labeled GGMLX30-A1. Rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? This chip’s been the talk of the town, or the game room, whatever. Videos show it like it’s the lead in an electronics drama series — peeling back layers, literal layers of techie intrigue.

Now, not everyone’s playing nice. Some enthusiasts are downright brutal. Heard about this one where someone took pliers to the Switch screen? Yeah, fifty — yes, fifty — times. Don’t ask me why.

In another layer of madness, there’s a step-by-step teardown video. You’d think they were dissecting an ancient artifact. They dig into the guts of this device, and guess what? More Nvidia Tegra talk. That chip is getting more spotlight than a Broadway star.

What’s gonna happen after all these scans and teardowns? No clue. But hey, we got a good look inside. It’s like meeting a game character in real life — well, sort of. The CT scan — quite the curtain reveal — might leave us with more questions than answers, but who doesn’t love a little mystery?
