How will be Switch 2 performance wise?

I would kindly ask you to stop lying.  I've said no such things.  In fact I have said the opposite.  I fully respect and support the opinions of others.  I have made it clear my opinions are mine and mine alone.  

Want to talk performance?  The S2 will be a 2050 with 10 gb ram (8 vram) and 102 gbps bandwidth (bottleneck).  

Third party games will be 720p to 1080p and 30 fps, low settings.  Personal preference from there. 

I'm not convinced GTA6 will run on it.  Same with the Series S to be honest.  But most third party games will run, assuming third party puts in the effort.

Both the gpu and cpu will be underclocked for battery and heat dissipation.

And I think the dock is still a glorified video output because price is important to Nintendo consumers, $400 is guess. 

Anyone who wants a feel for the S2 and third party games.  Grab a 2050 and play at the above mentioned settings.  

If the S2 is a T239 low clocked then series S will be much more powerful then the S2.

The switch was underclocked by 50% for the cpu and 25% for the gpu.  Obviously for battery and thermal reasons.  I could be wrong, but I expect the T239 S2 to be underclocked as well.  The big question is if the dock has thermal cooling or functions well as a heat sink.  If it does Nintendo could offer a significant boost when docked.  Low settings on a 8 inch screen would be fine, given the screen is small.  Getting a giant boost on a big screen when docked would narrow the gap significantly.  

I guess the short version is I am more curious about the dock functionality than the chipset.  To me the dock has the ability to be game changing for performance.

Edit 

I did want to address the "don't trust your eyes" comment because that is disingenuous.  All I said was youtube compresses the crap out of videos and high end hardware looks way better in the real world than a overly compressed video that is severely limited in bandwidth.  Hardcore movie folks will watch a disk before streaming because compression does greatly reduce image quality.  

People need to stop getting upset over facts.
