I think with the technology we -currently- have available, we might see around Xbox One levels of performance with the Switch 2, if Nintendo adopts nVidia's latest SoC which is a big ask.

We already have LPDDR5 which can increase bandwidth by 50% over LPDDR4X (Switch uses older/slower LPDDR4), so 50GB/s of bandwidth should be possible for a Switch 2... Which is roughly what you want to start touching full 1080P.
LPDDR5X might be a thing by then too... Who knows.

So if that's whats currently available, any idea about what could be available for a release in 2023?

Unless Nintendo does a 180 and decides to make Switch 2 with the latest and greatest, whatever is avaiable this year or 2021 at best is probably what's going inside of it - even Tegra X1 would be too costly for them if nVidia haven't flopped so hard at selling it (I don't think there's actually any devices outside their own that use it), thus eventually making it affordable for Nintendo.
