IDK what happened here but these results are terrible relative to the performance capabilities of an iPhone 15. I suspect a quick port into an unoptimized Android engine. Switch 2 will have a real console OS with Nvidia APIs, no comparison to Android/iOS gaming.

Power consumption, power consumption, power consumption. Your hardware might be as capable as the PS5's but you try running a PS5 on 50 times less electricity.

The API makes little difference, everything is close to metal in one way or another these days. Switch 2 games will find a fairly similar backend, but on a worse node and a GPU with a lower transistor count.

The real question is whether the undocked version will consume more power to compensate for these and surpass the iPhone 15 Pro's in-game capabilities.

The OG Switch, after all, probably runs games a little better than the iPhone X, but Apple has made huge strides in their hardware since.

PS5 is like ~200 watts.
While a docked Switch can go ~30watts or so.

So more like a factor of 6-7x than 50 :P
