How will be Switch 2 performance wise?

...which was over 10 years old by that time, too. And it was more powerful despite the possibilities of the Cell chip. And most in this thread agree that it will be a bit more powerful than the PS4.

The Switch had four and a half node shrinks vs. the PS3, though, compared to just two for the Switch 2 vs. the PS4, maybe three if they go for the N5/N4 node. There's a huge 2.8 to 5.6-fold difference there.

PS4 came out with the 28nm process. It's followed by 22/20nm, 16/14nm, 12/10nm, 7/6nm and then 5/4nm. The OG Switch already had one and a half, while the  HAC-001(-01) refresh had 2 node shrinks under it's belt compared to the PS4. The successor of the Switch will have at least 4 full node shrinks compared to the PS4.

However, the closer we get to atomic sizes, the smaller the gains get of he die shrinks (especially for things like IO and cache), so it's not an exact science or very linear.
