I honestly don't know much about PC hardware, it's not my area.

I never said PS4 and Switch were the same, there's obviously a substantial difference in power, I just don't see the Switch as belonging in the same class as the PS3 when its got some pretty significant advantages over 7th gen hardware.

Fair enough.  I just think people are used to view hardware via timelines of release.  I don't think that is applicable anymore.  Older GPUs can literally smoke newer ones.  

PS3 doesn't smoke the Switch though. The decade of technical advances that separate the two are clearly visible, foremost just in the fact that a handheld device outperforms what was once a high end home console.

There's also the difference in rendering, with Switch using most of the same techniques seen on PS4 while PS3 made do with older methods.
