Nintendo has plans to launch their Switch Pro at the end of this year with support for DLSS technology, a well-known leaker indicated that the company's new console would make use of an NVIDIA chip with Ada Lovelace graphics architecture.



Ada Lovelace is not the person behind an erotic movie, contrary she was a British mathematician, and as always NVIDIA names their architecture after people in such fields. Although this information is only a rumor, it was suggested by leaker Kopite7kimi who has released accurate leak information about NVIDIA's GPU in the past, that the name would be "Ada Lovelace". It's not the first time the name surfaces. Ada Lovelace got mentioned in December last year when it was assumed that Nvidia was delaying its rumored Multi-chip Module (MCM) design dubbed 'Hooper' in favor of the new 5nm Ada Lovelace architecture.

The GPU architecture would be fabbed at 5nm manufacturing somewhere at the end of 2021. The solution would imply an immense leap for the pending Nintendo Switch, the current one (2019 onwards) uses the Tegra X1 T214 chip at a 16nm process, the original model used the Tegra X1 T210 at a 20nm process.  The next Nintendo console could support 4K resolutions when connected to the Dock Station, thanks to the use of DLSS and NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics. The switch Pro will arrive with a 7″ Samsung OLED panel, maintaining an HD resolution of 1280 × 720.
