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.

I find visual output of Switch and ps3 games very close.  Slight edge to the switch, maybe 15%.  The ps4 smokes the switch.  

And that is the point.  The switch is much newer than the ps3, just like the 3050 is newer than the 2070s, put the output doesn't scale linear.  

Time doesn't dictate performance anymore unless we do same class comparisons.

The S2 will be newer than the ps5, but they will not have the same class of gpu.  Just like the 3050 vs 2070S.

Nah the Switch is absolutely not in the same graphical category as the PS3.

PS3 (and 360) graphics are defined by a different era of technology and the limitations of 2005 era hardware; a non-physical approach to materials, mostly baked lighting and cube map reflections, old school multisampling and early post-process anti-aliasing, etc.

Games on Switch use most of the same basic rendering methods as PS4 games, just at reduced levels of detail and complexity.
