The Korean publication claims a number of things, including that we could be seeing the Switch 2 release at the end of the year after all. The site also says that Samsung is the main component provider for the platform and that the system will use NVIDIA’s Tegra T239 chip, which means it would be similar in power to Sony’s PlayStation 4 with some ray tracing capabilities and DLSS.
