You do realize that will impact memory bandwidth? Essentially 8GB can run at full speed, the extra 4GB at a lower speed...

8 is doable... But will hold the system back, especially with how dram hungry Sony and Nintendo's operating systems tend to be for the features on offer.
It's also Nintendo though, they don't like to be cutting edge.

TFLOPS doesn't tell us the hardwares performance.

Nor does it need to match the Series S in TFLOPS to outperform it.

Bold 1: They can do what MS did and utilize that 4GB for OS purposes instead of games. 

Bold 2: I'm going to disagree here. It isn't the DEFINITIVE MEASURE of performance, but it does tell us about the hardware and how it performs. In addition, I included this information because it's one of the few things we have confirmed from the leak, not because it is the only measure. Unfortunately, CPU cores, frequency, GPU frequency, RAM amount or bandwidth, screen resolution, etc. are all just guesses at this point. Typically based on Jetson AGX hardware. 

Bold 3: I wasn't trying to say that it wasn't as capable as the Series S because of TFLOPS alone. But given the confirmation about what is cutbacks from GA10B, as well as portable devices historical limitations and cuts to frequency to maintain appropriate battery life (see PSP, PS Vita, Switch) we already know that it isn't going to be as capable with regard to raw power. Not at the same resolution, at least.
