4Gamers: Nintendo Switch adopts NVIDIA Tegra Parker SoC
4Gamers: Nintendo Switch adopts NVIDIA Tegra Parker SoC

Last week, Nintendo released the first promotional video of the Switch, a next-generation handheld computer. The Switch is a game console that can be used as both a handheld computer and a host computer. Although the promotional video was released, we did not know the parameter configuration of the switch, except that it uses a 6.2 inch 720P screen. It can be used as a home host and a handheld computer at the same time. The ultimate question is how a chip can have such an excellent energy consumption ratio? Japanese media 4Gamers gave the answer, and Japanese 4Gamer reporter Nishikawa Zenji got the inside information of Switch, saying that Switch uses Tegra Parker, an on-board super chip provided by Huang for autonomous cars.

At the Hot Chips conference in August this year, NVIDIA released its own new generation Tegra processor, Parker, in a high profile. In fact, as early as the beginning of this year, Tegra Parker was used in the Drive PX 2 on-board computer, which is known as the world's first intelligent super computer in autonomous vehicles.


In terms of parameter configuration, Parker's CPU part is 2 * Denver 2.0+4 * Cortex-A57. The official description of the CPU part is that Parker's Denver core is version 2.0, 64 bit ARMv8 architecture, 7-Way superscalar architecture, while optimizing the dynamic decoding algorithm, adding additional low power consumption and reserving state for energy conservation. Denver 2.0 and Cortex-A57 cores are interconnected through the same L2 cache.

In terms of GPU, Tegra Parker adopts the Pascal architecture currently used by NVIDIA on the GTX 10 series, with 256 CUDA cores. It is known that GTX1050 with the same Pascal architecture has 640 CUDA cores, while GTX1060 has 1280 CUDA cores.
