Nintendo has provided us with a lot of information about the Switch 2 over the past few weeks, and I’m sad to say it’s outdated news. The world’s high-tech Y business-type type is already looking forward to Baby on Switch 3. Buckle up.
While sharing his insights into current strengths in Intel Corporation’s stock, John Vinh, Senior Research Analyst at KeyBanc Capital Markets, shared a small thing – and I mean Easy – Tidbit about the possibility that Intel will secure a contract to work on the next Nintendo console.
“We believe (Intel) has acquired the Nintendo Switch 3 ON 18A GPU gaming socket,” Vinh said, referring to the company’s many well-known 18A Semiconductor Manufacturing.
An Intel spokesman declined to comment. Nintendo didn’t respond immediately.
I don’t pretend to understand everything in and out of this technology, but Intel released a short video in January explaining the benefits of Luddites like me. According to Intel Story Lab Director Krista Vasquez, the Intel 18A chip making process combines innovative transistors with industry number one architecture to “pair the path for continuous future progress” while offering a “jump in performance, density and power efficiency.” It sounds impressive, but buzzwords tend to have the effect.
It felt like one speculative roller coaster had descended, and I was guided to the next one faster than saying, “Donkey Kong is wearing pants now.” Before attacking eye-catching YouTube thumbnails and Reddit posts, he gently slams into underground bunkers with every hand, discussing Gaming’s “Insider” and Rumormongers’ latest half-sentence bullying.
Ah, if you’re still concerned, Switch 2 will be released on June 5th.
