Sure, let’s dive into this whole Nintendo Switch 2 thing, which—believe it or not—folks have already started poking around in. I mean, why wait, right? We pretty much get the specs, but hey, it’s kinda like being a kid and taking apart your toys just because. So, there’s this Reddit post that shows off some tech magic—it’s all about those fancy insides, starring the Nvidia Tegra SoC, and guess what? Someone actually CT scanned the Switch 2. Yeah, like a full-blown medical scan. Who does that? But okay, cool.
Anyway, yeah, there’s this scan. Look at it in the image below or something.

The brain behind this masterpiece on Reddit—”Scan-of-the-month” they call ‘em—likes to show off these CT scans of random tech stuff. Apple AirPods, Flipper Zero, you name it. This time, their curiosity took them to the Switch 2, and we’re all here for the ride.
The scan’s got labels for the big bits, so no worries if you’re new to this. Biggest chunk? A 5220mAh battery. It’s like, hey there, massive power brick. Then there’s some Realtek audio thingy—trusty sidekick for sound stuff. And, oh, MediaTek’s handling Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It’s all very organized chaos, really. SK Hynix chips? Oh yeah, popping in with storage and RAM bits.
Actually, the grand reveal? The Nvidia bit. Kinda like finding out the twist at the end of a decent movie. We figured the Tegra was in there, but here it is—GGMLX30-A1. There’s even a video showing the chip, layer-by-layer. Because why not, right?
So, while folks are busy dismantling the Switch 2—and I mean, some are really going at it, like smashing screens and whatnot—others are, let’s say, dissecting it more gently. This CT scan thing came right after someone went all pliers-on-screen crazy. Fifty times, I kid you not. It’s almost art, in a destructive way.
In the end, we’re not sure if the Switch 2’s gonna put up with all this attention long-term, but hey, it sure is entertaining. Seeing these inner workings is like getting the backstage pass. Might not change what we thought, but who doesn’t love a good teardown? Keep digging, and who knows what surprises are left inside.
For the latest in tech chaos—er, news—stay tuned to Tom’s Hardware. Because you like keeping up with the cool crowd.
