Granted we don't know the exact bandwidth of Switch 2 yet, but given the Switch 1 had just 25GB/s, there's definitely the potential for enormous gains in speed as well as capacity. We'll have to wait and see, but it's definitely encouraging in the meantime that Nintendo seems not to have cut corners.

No doubt the S2 is a massive jump, as it should be, given the Switch is decade old technology.  My only point was don't rate the ps4 to ps5 just on amount, bandwidth is a huge player.  

In simple terms a still 5 gb image quality at:

30 fps needs 150 gb/s

60 fps needs 300 gb/s

120 fps needs 600 gb/s

Crank the resolution and image quality to 10 gb:

30 fps needs 300 gb/s

60 fps needs 600 gb/s

120 fps needs 1200 gb/s

This why only PC can do ultra settings, 4k at 100+ fps.

But yes, the S2 will be a powerful mobile device.  

PS4 to PS5 was roughly a 2.5 times increase in terms of speed by your numbers,  and 2 times in terms of total capacity.

So if Switch 2 is 12GB it's already a bigger leap in capacity, and if it's over 62.5GB/s then it's a bigger jump in speed too.
