At the beginning of the year, there were many rumors and ‘leaks’ mentioning a new Switch console, based on a Next generation SoC made by NVIDIA. Of course, it would support DLSS technology. Well, thanks to the production crisis, Nintendo chose to launch the OLED Switch, a version that in terms of performance does not strictly add anything, offering just a few touches on the design, and of course, the much desired OLED screen.
But… This doesn’t mean that Nintendo doesn’t continue to pursue DLSS!

Therefore, despite the launch of the OLED model, and the apparent cancellation of the ‘Pro’ version, information continues to reach the Internet that Nintendo was really betting everything on 4K.
After all, a patent registered on March 25, 2020, with the name “Systems and methods for machined learned image conversion” by Alexandre Delattre and Théo Charvet (two investigators from Nintendo Europe), seems to indicate that a lot of work has been done to take the Switch to a slightly higher performance level.
After all, The patent describes how Nintendo would implement a technology very similar to DLSS, taking advantage of Tensor processing cores from NVIDIA graphics architectures. (Take low resolution images, and turn them into high resolution images, without performance loss).
It’s further proof that Nintendo was really developing something big! Most likely Switch Pro, based on next-generation NVIDIA graphics architecture.
However, an upscaling technology would be obviously very welcome in the Nintendo world. After all, at this point in the championship, the performance gap between Switch and next-gen consoles from Sony and Microsoft is simply too high.
Besides, what do you think about all this? Do you think Switch Pro will still be a reality? Or is it better to get the horse out of the rain? Please share with us your opinion in the comments below.

Since I was very young I was interested in computers and technology in general, I had my first PC when I was 10 years old and when I was 15 I built my first tower, since then I have never stopped. Whatever technology is, I’m in the front row to find out more.
