Leaked Nintendo Switch 2 documents reinforce performance leap rumors as power and cooling requirements skyrocket
admin 2024/08/19 01:52A recent Nintendo Switch 2 leak claimed Steam Deck-like performance from the upcoming handheld gaming console, and now, a new shipping manifest seems to reinforce that information. The supposed leaked documentation indicates that the Switch 2 will be need to draw nearly twice as much power from the wall as the original Switch.
"In the leaked documentation, there is mention of a 60 W charging brick and an accessory cooling solution shipping as standard with the Nintendo Switch 2. For reference, the original Switch only ships with a 39 W charger in the box, making the new charging solution nearly 54% more powerful than the original.
This more powerful power brick isn't necessarily an indicator of the overall system power of the Switch 2, since the original Switch only reportedly consumes around 18 W out of that 39 W ceiling. However, the power brick's power output increase in combination with the supposed active cooling in the accessory stand indicates that the hybrid console may draw significantly more power — even if that is just while connected to an external display.
As it stands, the original Switch Dock (curr. $69.98 on Amazon) only supplies the Switch with more power and adds addition I/O ports, but it does not cool it. Current leaked information about the Switch 2 indicated that its faster SoC would be hamstrung by software, so it's possible that the active cooling in the dock will help the Switch output higher resolutions and frame rates when in docked mode, allowing it to draw even more power than its predecessor."
