The final piece of the puzzle has seemingly fallen into place. Hardware analysis site Tech Insights updated its own Nintendo Switch teardown with die-shot photography of the new console's Tegra processor, mooted as a custom design by the platform holder.
Still dealing well after all these years.

They should have used the X2
Tegra 1 is amazing anyway for handheld graphics, the last thing that crosses your mind when playing Switch as a handheld Is that its underpowered. I expect a revision with an X2 and a 1080p screen down the line...
Why claim it's custom then? Why not just say it's a Tegra X1? I just don't see the point, if no customization has been done.
Its almost as shocking as when we all found out both the XBOX One and PS4 used the same off-the-shelf grade Jaguar CPU. Gaming is becoming less about special hardware these days, and much more about how compelling the game "design fidelity" is, in my view of the industry. The big take away is if developers actually got enough of what they needed from a stock X1 to bring on the goods for the Switch and keep us playing good quality, compelling content. Nintendo seemed to be receptive to upping the RAM and hearing out developers going into this, so I'm hoping there's some reciprocation on the software front to back up sticking with an X1.
Ah. The chip that took 500 man years to make. Wth?
