XBox Series S Could Be A Nice Bounce For Switch 2

Arm A78 in a 8 core config isn't actually that far off from the CPU inside the XBox Series S. 

GPU performance is far more important for ports. 

I am not an ARM expert, but I highly doubt that a possible Arm A78 running on a portable console can reach a "minimally comparable" level of 3.8ghzs Zen2 based CPU that has unlimited access to electricity ... Even if they made "Switch 2" with only 1-2h of battery life, something that really isn't going to happen, it wouldn't be possible.

Wait till you see the new Apple chips that are coming, there's a reason why they're ditching Intel for straight up mobile components even in their Pro laptop and desktop lines. 

Mobile CPUs are no joke. There's also the ARM X1 core that is coming that could be a possibility for Switch 2 if Nintendo really wanted to go pound for pound, but I don't think honestly despite all the hype that CPU's will be maxxed out by games anytime soon. Game development is way more focused on GPU for a long time and it will remain that way because many devs simply don't want to think outside of the box. That and there's still a crap ton of PC gamers with old ass legacy Intel CPUs that they want to support.
