NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling technology, better known as DLSS, has become a great technology. Death Stranding has implemented it and allows an RTX 2060 to better play the game in 4K resolution smoothly. This technology has a life beyond Ray Tracing and that would be verified by the interest of Nintendo, who would like to implement it in the next Switch.
Although there have been rumors that Nintendo would opt for another SoC manufacturer, ultimately it would not be like that. It seems that the Japanese company will continue with NVIDIA, especially for DLSS technology. This would allow playing on the console at a higher graphic quality, since currently the Nintendo Switch reaches 720p with very low graphic quality.

Future Nintendo Switch would have NVIDIA DLSS
This information from DLSS 2.0 on the Nintendo Switch is based on a job posting recently posted by NVIDIA. The company is seeking a Senior Integrated Software Engineer for its Tegra solutions engineering team. Specifically his task would be: "next generation graphics and next generation AI for gaming consoles and AI edge devices"
According to the offer, he will work on "solutions to use artificial intelligence in graphics technologies such as NVIDIA DLSS 2.0". Sony and Microsoft consoles do not use NVIDIA hardware, which limits the possibilities. It seems to be clearly focused on a future Nintendo Switch, but it cannot be guaranteed either.
What is certain is that this technology for the portable console would be really important because of the power limitations. Some limitations that are due to a balance between portability, design, consumption and temperatures. This would allow it to offer better graphic quality than it is currently capable of supporting.
Note that this is not a new speculation, although it would be supported by the job offer. Digital Foundry already discussed the possibility of a Switch with DLSS at the beginning of the year. We will see if this information is finally fulfilled.
