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

Sure thing. Here’s a version that aims for that human-like vibe:

So, I stumbled across something wild today—guess what? People are already diving into the Nintendo Switch 2 like kids tearing through wrapping paper on Christmas morning. We’ve sorta known the specs for ages, but who doesn’t love a good peek under the hood? This brings me to Reddit, naturally, where someone posted a CT scan of the thing. Mind-blowing, right?

The Reddit peep, hilariously named Scan-of-the-month, is like the Indiana Jones of electronics. Seriously, they’ve CT-scanned everything from Apple AirPods to this gadget called Flipper Zero. Who knew a CT scanner could be so entertaining? The Switch 2 scan shows off all the engineering wizardry, including the Nvidia Tegra SoC. I’m geeking out just thinking about it.

Oh, and there’s a pic labeled with each component, like some kind of geeky treasure map. The biggest piece? A chunky 5220mAh battery, parked right next to a Realtek audio chip. It’s got a MediaTek module for all the wireless jazz and a couple of SK Hynix things—5G speeds and 256GB storage and stuff. Fascinating, right? Okay, maybe not for everyone.

But hold on—let’s zero in on the Nvidia SoC. The buzz was all about this chip, labeled GGMLX30-A1. Seeing it in pieces, layer by layer, is oddly satisfying. Switch fans are basically dismantling this thing for sport, and—brace yourself—it survived getting whacked with pliers like 50 times. Hardcore, no? Then there’s a teardown vid; it’s like watching brain surgery but less gross.

I’ve got no idea what happens post-scan—is it broken? Who knows? But there’s something satisfying in seeing the innards confirmed, even if it’s old news. I guess I’m geeky like that.
