Hard to say until it is confirmed. S2 will be slightly closer to the ps5 then the S1 was to the ps4. But not by much. Folks will be quick to use math to claim it is closer but I find that flawed. Performance isn't linear equation.
The rumored specs need to be viewed in context. It will be a very powerful portable device. Around the Rog Ally but cheaper. Compared to consoles it is just behind because of power limitations. 122 gb/s and 12 gb ram is a bottle neck. By comparison the ps5 is 440 gb/s at 16 gb. Frankly the ps5 at 3 years old us a bit weak for new game engines.
But I think there are two great pieces in favor of the S2. One, games are scalable, thus ports should be easier than ever. Two, ps4 visuals hold up great. So the S2 will have good looking games. Old games no longer look and run like crap.
The S2 vs ps5 vs PC is a silly debate. Depends all on disposable income and how much someone cares about performance.
Basically it is all personal preference.
