It uses the Nvidia Tegra 239 chip, which is based off the Ampere generation. While potentially it could have some ray tracing features, the power limits of a small chip like this are likely to prevent it from being used.

More interestingly, it should have all the hardware and juice to be able to run DLSS. This means it can upscale from 720p to 4k using Nvidia’s proprietary tech (the best in the business) to have excellent image quality at fast frame rates.

Other than the Nvidia specific tech, it’s just generally a faster processor with more memory. While it won’t be as powerful as a PS5, graphics should look nicer and world size and detail should increase with fewer compromises.
