As for the performance, the full fat Orin 64GB has a raw performance pretty similar to that of the PS4 Pro. So I expect the Orin NX 16 GB to be closer to the PS4 in raw performance, (it's about Radeon HD 7790 level) but with all the modernisations since then, Switch 2 would be noticeably more performant than the last-gen console.

Considering a Geforce 1050Ti can beat a Radeon R9 380, where the R9 380 is already twice as fast as the Playstation 4's Radeon 7850-level GPU... Orin with 1024 Cuda cores and 100GB/s of bandwidth would decimate the Playstation 4... And even the Playstation 4 Pro.

As Orin not only has more CUDA cores than a 1050Ti Pascal, but it's more efficient -and- can clock higher.

Raw numbers isn't what we should ever base hardware performance on, because there has been massive strides in efficiency in the last decade.

While the comparison with the PS4 Pro was in raw performance, the one of the 7790 was not. Compared to the 3050 in the Techpowerup list, which shares the same GPU architecture, has almost 5 times the performance (484% to be exact) of the Orin NX 16GB. This is mostly due to having 60% less GPU cores and 40% lower clock speeds, but possibly also from having less than half the bandwidth, of which the CPU takes also a chunk.
