 Hey everyone we're back at the desk baby we're in a standard show video for you guys because I have some interesting news for you this is the first real evidence that uh yeah there is a new switch related SOC system on a chip a new chip for the Nintendo switch in the works this isn't a rumor this isn't a um there's gonna be some speculation I suppose but it's not a rumor guys this isn't even coming from Bloomberg or anything like that we have actual evidence you can look at for yourself and see that yeah we're getting something eventually for something now before I get into this video I got to remind you of into the AM that's what one of this shirt right here um I wear these shirts every single day I swear they are amazing they are soft they are comfortable they are pre-shrunk this is just a basic maroon color tea they have a lot of other colors as well along with printed teas and all of that jazz if you're interested in getting one of some of these shirts for yourself they are a premium quality whatever that means premium service our E3 people know what we're talking about there uh yeah if you would like to get one of these head to into theam.com slash Nintendo Prime 10 there's a link at the top of the description oh by the way that link gives you 10% off I don't why why do I always have to remind people that in 10 or 5 10 the whole point is 10% off all right so we're talking about information that comes from the switch hacking and data mining community this is verifiable information we'll have all of the links to the sources down in the description it's really coming from a couple places uh but we know you know some of the actual data miners uh in here including like Mike Heskin and Skryers M and some others uh but this is some real information some of this we've known for a little bit and haven't talked about and some of it is come to light quite recently such as on June 10th so looking at my notes here um the switch hacking and data mining community has uncovered a lot of interesting things including a picture of the T234 on Wikipedia which this might not mean anything to you it's a chip that's fine copite 7k i mi states plainly that a new switch will use a customized version known as T239 he said this on June 10th now what is this basically it's a new system on a chip the problem so far is we didn't necessarily have any proof that this system on a chip for the switch was even being used internally or really on any new system on a chip so not mergo not tegra x1 but a new one we haven't had any definitive proof of this however recent data dubs of current switch os and kernels show something really interesting this is noted by Mike Heskin the system call space has been extended from 128 possible svc's to 192 this is proven it's identifiable and can be looked at for yourself down in the description this isn't a rumor this is literally inside the current switch kernel and os and wasn't there before so that's a lot of technical mumbo jumbo what the hell does any of it mean well here's the important stuff that it means because we don't need to get into the possibilities because obviously we don't know the possibilities till we see the chip but here's the fundamental aspect of what this means there is some sort of soc that's needed that increases svc which is well beyond any of the known tegra merrico soc's and what they need so that 192 is not something that a tegra x1 of any type actually needs all right there is something somewhere using that kernel and os in a way that the current chips and sides which aren't capable of doing as in there's actually a new system on a chip factually existing somewhere at nintendo and the development pipeline maybe with developers right now etc factually a new chip that is not tegra x1 inside a switch exist somewhere what this soc is of course is a mystery but with this factual data available it seems to be the first real indicator that a new chip exists whereas all other prior available data suggested that if a pro were to come it would be the alula type which is a merrico based chipset so yeah it would just be like improve clock speeds with your old ed screen and your 4k upscaling maybe through the m classic style where you're doing things but now we have definitive evidence that a different chip a new chip exists we have not had evidence of this ever all evidence we've ever had pointed to just another tegra x1 platform of course we don't know what that chip is and speculation for the longest time was that nintendo cannot use anything post current tegra such as the x2 which is upgraded version as well or even beyond because every game we need to be recompiled to run it this is a fundamental issue that people have worried about with a switch pro use newer technology how the hell is it going to be backwards compatible because that can be quite difficult to do because the technology is pretty different the architectures fairly different however as the tech enthusiast noted that's not necessarily true and there are ways you can still run current games in modes within newer technology where the code still sees everything as a merrico chip where you can later update the game to unlock support for rumored switch features like dlss 4k and yes taking advantage of that newer technology increased frame rates all that jazz think of how in windows and pcs you can run programs like you know in windows 98 mode in windows 7 in windows vista mode etc despite the kernel and everything else tech wise inside current platforms being fundamentally different than what was running those programs back in the day like 1998 hello ms dos you can still run games in that as well that's what's very interesting about this technology is obviously backwards compatibility is a concern but also is it really a concern i think a lot of the concern around it is not knowing how nintendo would handle backwards compatibility but there's obviously options now here's what we need to talk about when we're talking about this particular chip this particular news it's that we do know now that a new chip of some type in some sort of switch exists because there's references to it now inside the os and the kernel of the platform the problem is we don't know what the chip is we don't know uh you know what is this the oran chip right now there's been a lot of talk about oran if you don't know what it is you can go look it up it's basically newer technology might even be based on lovelace which is like next gen technology which would be absolutely insane to see that inside a switch but um this also can be ignored that this new chip could mean next gen we we can't say that this is definitively the pro when it could also be for a next gen switch it's possible there'll be multiple generations of switch it's also possible there might never be a next gen switch it could just be a pro and then another like another switch comes out in two or three years and they just keep it all one family of systems like phones again this is all in the territory of speculation but what we definitively know today that we did not know yesterday or at least didn't know if you weren't paying attention is that there is a new chip factually in existence and being referenced by the os in kernel in a very specific way what this new chip is what its capabilities are we don't know is this the chip is this the platform that's going to end up being what switch pro is is a lula which we have a lot of information on even ever going to come out a lula by the way is basically a tegra x1 beefed up a little bit so increased clock speeds um with 4k support added in the dock uh and yeah like an OLED panel or something like that a bigger screen okay that's what we know but we also don't know that a lula is ever coming out the big thing about a lula for those that have followed this train for a long time behind the scenes is that we have zero evidence a lula was ever in production what's important to note is that we need to separate facts from predictions facts from opinions and you're going to find multiple data miners and all that out there that will tell you factually we are going to get a lula it's a mass production and it's coming out but they don't know that what they know is that it exists the facts are the facts the opinions are the opinions i'm not going to throw any data miner or leaker under the bus but i will say that there's only two things we definitively know at this point about potential new platforms at one point there was a system in development that rocked 4k in some sort of way had a 4k output at least from the dock uh had an OLED screen and was using a tegra x1 chip all right we know this factually it is in all of the data mines it is in the os and prior kernels we are well aware that this platform codenamed a lula existed we don't know that that platform was ever in production but we know it existed we now know based on new data mines based on new kernels based on new os updates that there is now a new chip in production or at least being used somewhere behind the scenes in a switch what that chip is capable of that we don't know is it or it is it does it using love lice is it you know a whole bunch of different possible technologies we don't know but we know that it exists somewhere just like we know a lula exists somewhere which one's coming out which one's the pro is one the pro and one next gen are neither going to happen are they just experimenting and playing around with different models and different types of things behind the scenes to try to figure out if there's anything they want to do with switch moving forward i don't know i don't have the answers to any of this what i do know is we have reports from places like takahashi machizuki at bloomberg and tom phillips at euro gamer collaborating the hey look this device some sort of new switch device is coming out in september or october we also have obviously a killer lineup of games in 2022 that i don't think need a switch pro to necessarily give us all they can be but it sure wouldn't hurt to have say 60 fps in the sequel to breath of the wild or 60 fps in pokemon legends archies let alone increased resolution through dlss which is what takahashi machizuki claims it can do and if it is doing it through dlss then it has to be obviously be newer technology that can support that and then how expensive would that be and then what happens in the trickle down to the og switch and the switch light i don't have answers to any of this what we now know factually the alula platform with a marico existed behind the scenes at some point and now a platform that has a new soc of some point exists behind the scenes that's it that's the news what we do with that from that point forward is all speculation so what is the switch pro i'm not sure we know anymore today than we did yesterday but we now know there's more possibilities for it today than we did yesterday so you guys so much for tuning in i ended in robin jen's from nintendo prime let me know your guesses down in the comments on what the new soc is do you think this is what's in the pro do you think a lula is do you think either of these are in mass production do you think the pro is fake entirely and all of this is just talks about next gen let me know because this stuff is facts these are facts this is not speculation this is not a rumor these things are identifiable verifiable any of you guys can go look it up right now the question is what becomes of all of it and that is the the the larger point that we really don't know now before i end this video i want to give a shout out to alex uh he has been one that's been helping me decipher all of this stuff behind the scenes through twitter dms i want to thank you so much alex for your hard work there i also want to thank obviously all of our dataminers out there the scryers and the uh the uh what was his name i've copight 7k i am i uh also want to thank uh the mike guy mike hesskins and all the others out there who do this kind of work really for nothing other than their own curiosity uh i also want to thank obviously people who end up getting die shots and all that i know that's not always the most easiest thing to do when you don't have access to all the necessary equipment to do it and i want to thank all of you for tuning in uh because without an audience i'd be just be talking to an empty room which technically this room's empty right now so i i am is this inception am i am i here right now is this is this like an ultimate universe why am i why don't i have a suit jacket when i what the hell did i get this what the hell is this i i what's happening why no a
