A new Nintendo Switch 2 rumor has surfaced claiming that the next-generation hybrid console could actually arrive with more memory than a powerful rival like the Microsoft Xbox Series S. The same source has also offered an update in regard to the Switch 2’s potential DLSS support and ray-tracing capabilities.

DDR3 rams are more expensive than other options at this point

don't know where you got that idea, but 16gb of ddr3 can be gotten easily for $30, as where 16gb of ddr5 is going to run you $100 minimum (talking retail prices, obv)

Really? Where I live I can't really get DDR3 rams anymore

Just looked up the cheapest new 16G options in Turkey

  • Ddr3: 1195₺ ~ $44
  • Ddr4: 837₺ ~ $31
  • Ddr5: 1179₺ ~ $44

Ddr5 is cheaper than you think

I think there is a difference (like you said) between you picking up 2 sticks of remaining DDR3 stock and a console manufacturer sourcing it for their new console.
