HmmmmmmmmmAlso there are 2 different product descriptions, and though the SAC one is likely still a mobile speaker (by a cursory google), those being shipped in relatively super low quantities is interesting.

I really think it’s all about to explode any moment nowSo, should i light up the rally fire for Team ASAP + H1 2024?
If anything, i hope some outlets read the stuff from the last few pages here and will feel motivated to do their own reporting.
Feels like what's really just missing now is corroboration from someone like Eurogamer or VGC and so on.
I think at this point you understand my perspective and I understand yours. I also think we did a good job clarifying the interim points. So before we start going in circles, here is one last pitchRespectfully, while this is certainly possible, it makes no sense. The performance of SEC8N was never a secret, there would have been no reason to spend the millions to make a chip on that node just to then spend millions more to redesign it for a different foundry process without ever selling it.
Hovi is not the code name for Switch 1 or Switch 1 devkits, it's the code name for Nintendo overall (the company) in regards to the Nintendo/Nvidia partnership.It's kind of hilarious and poetic karma that a bad leaker (Connor) led us to some fun discovers in the last 30 hours.
Thanks, bad leaker!
Edit: @P4bl0 remind me, when did the Hovi (Switch 1) devkits show up in shipment history? I don't have paid access like you do so I cannot see dates on one site - and the other site I've been using has dates but it cuts off (doesn't go back to 2016)
What?! You going to live to be 120 years old?39 years old here.
I'm worried about my age because that means I'm only going to be able to see the Switch 3 or 4 at the most.
Nintendo wanting some of that exclusive high-end headset money? (ie. Pulse) Hm, it's a possibility. Whether this type of speaker is usable for that - or these quantities being necessary for that type of accessory launch - are unknown.
If it helps, i wasn't invited to the tall people club with my 181cm despite actually having the same problems that even taller people have.
That January Reveal, March blowout and May release is looking likely
Imagine if it launches a year after TOTK with a next gen patch for it
As far as I'm aware, third parties got dev kits in March and April 2016, while Nvidia was sending DDK boards internally in January 2016.It's kind of hilarious and poetic karma that a bad leaker (Connor) led us to some fun discovers in the last 30 hours.

And now we have another rumor.
[Rumor] Switch 2 codenamed "NG", two SKUs, September 2024 release Rumor
The info comes from the same person that the past few months has provided The Snitch with details and screenshots of Rise of the Ronin, which he went on to post on his Discord channel. On top of that, he was also the one to inform The Snitch about the development of a God of War: Ragnarok DLC...www.resetera.com
- September 2024 launch
- $450 for standard, $400 for digital-only
- NG is indeed the code name
I get that, but it goes from like 500 to 120k
That’s weird
Do I at least make that club at 190cm?
I wonder who that handsome devil is?And now we have another rumor.

I can't say I agree at all. With manufacturing appearing to barrel ahead, and Nintendo liking to reveal before or with mass production to avoid factory leaks of a dire nature. Plus the "random" Amiibo restocks and existing rumours and reports from companies claiming production this year, a reveal this year, either this month or next, seems far more likely than January.That January Reveal, March blowout and May release is looking likely

Nah
Note: Nothing against this dude
The big problem with this is that T239 was always a large, powerful chip. If you're presenting the idea that they didn't think T239 was powerful enough so they decided to shrink it, that doesn't track because T239 having 12SMs won't change- the only thing that will change with a die shrink is the frequency it can be run at and the energy/heat it takes to do that.I think at this point you understand my perspective and I understand yours. I also think we did a good job clarifying the interim points. So before we start going in circles, here is one last pitch
- Nintendo chooses Orin on 8N as the base for next Switch. This decision is likely made in 2018.
- At that point they know what 8N will cost, it’s power/performance/etc… as you say.
- Fast forward 3-4 years to the leak and T239 is still the only item on the roadmap
- But the console gaming market has changed a lot between 2018 and 2022-ish!
- One of Nintendo’s observations is the strong demand of its own hardware selling at $300 5-years after launch - no price cut! This never happened before. And the OLED at $350 is outselling the $300 Mariko.
- Sony and Xbox are also selling better than expect despite their $500 price (for top model)
- Also, in the 2018-2022 Nintendo has realized/admitted that Switch is underpowered
- So in 2022-ish, they realized that the momentum of the Switch gives them time to move to a better node.
- Maybe Nvidia pays for a portion of the cost too since they can sell a new version of Orin. Maybe not - but I think Nintendo can absorb the $100m-$200m in redesign cost through higher unit costs ($1-$2m), a lower cost per SOC through yield, etc…
- Better node also helps with performance which will help with 3rd party development and unit sales, and Nintendo makes money through the royalty income
We have people in this thread that know the code name, and we know for a fact NG is not it. So we can say confidently right off the bat this is false.And now we have another rumor.

Back to this. Don't want to be a buzzkiller so I'll say it just once. I see no such records in the - paid - database I consult. Have you given a link to your source that I missed maybe?It's from Indian Import/Export Data.
"The guy in India" operates under Nvidia company name, HS codes not matching is not a big deal as they have the same meaning, just one is more explicit than the other, but the description is .
They have to name the product explicitly in case of customs package inspection and insurance, it's an official company doing this not a Mum shipping food to her son for christmas declared as clothes to dodge the customs VAT bill (true story)
who knows the codename?We have people in this thread that know the code name, and we know for a fact NG is not it. So we can say confidently right off the bat this is false.
Not two SKUs againAnd now we have another rumor.

It wouldnt surprise me that they skipped on DLC because:And Master Mode. Criminal that they're trying to say no DLC without even including that. I'm not buying it.
Word. Also, if digital PS5 sales are anything to go at, they’re not that stelar and a digital only Switch alongside a physical one feels redundant.I don't see Nintendo ever doing something that eliminates the need for retail presence, even if it's just a "secondary" sku.
Good points. Maybe they’ll reveal soon, juat to reveal before leaks, the people will seemingly forget about it for a couple of months and then blowout in January.I can't say I agree at all. With manufacturing appearing to barrel ahead, and Nintendo liking to reveal before or with mass production to avoid factory leaks of a dire nature. Plus the "random" Amiibo restocks and existing rumours and reports from companies claiming production this year, a reveal this year, either this month or next, seems far more likely than January.
So I was half right about the BC being digital only then.And now we have another rumor.

Regardless, I’m referring to entries that has “Hovi” in the description. It’s supposed “Iwoh” for Switch 2.Hovi is not the code name for Switch 1 or Switch 1 devkits, it's the code name for Nintendo overall (the company) in regards to the Nintendo/Nvidia partnership.
Just thought that needed clarification.

Extremely skeptical, mostly because of the code name being NG, which was just used as a shorthand for Next Gen in an Activision mail. Nothing indicated that was an official code name.And now we have another rumor.
