Isn't the 360's CPU just a modified Cell processor? If so what's the difference between them?

On topic IIRC the Wii U CPU are based on the outdated PowerPC 750 chip from 1997 so the PS360 CPUs are way better than the Wii U. As for the Switch it may be clocked lower than the PS360, but it has more feature than the last gen consoles since it was newer so it might be more powerful.

To make it more simple lets say both are competing in a race. The PS360 machine are way faster than the Switch so technically they should win the race. But the Switch still has a chance to be a winner since he know the secret shortcut in the track or can access more powerful item to help him win the race.

In the end its the GPU that dictate console performance since we can see the graphical difference between multiplat games and how that affect framerate. That's the thing that matter the most
