Memory manufacturer Macronix sees larger-than-usual orders from Nintendo, leading to more Switch redesign speculation

The rumors continue

Looking for some of the best evidence yet for a Switch redesign? Let's take a look at Macronix, a company Nintendo has worked with multiple times in the past to provide memory chips.

Macronix has reported that Nintendo has made some very sizable memory chip orders in the past 2 months, so much so that orders exceeded the company's expectations. With demand being stronger than expected, and quite unusual for the first/second quarter, Macronix has seen its revenue jump 30% during the period.

What is Nintendo doing with these chips? As to be expected, most believe they will be put to use in a redesign of the Switch. Again, Nintendo is yet to confirm these rumors, but the evidence of a redesign is certainly piling up.
