I think the whole generation (7th gen vs 8th) isn't applicable anymore. Gen doesn't determine performance.

The 1080ti launched in 2017, while the 4050 launched in 2023..... the 1080ti has better performance.

I'm probably being redundant but time based generation doesn't mean anything these days.

It's not really helpful in categorizing the Switch, no, because Switch does not fit neatly into either the PS3/360 or PS4/XBO graphical ballpark.

But then gens have never really been consistent power wise; GBA was in the same gen as the Xbox and Gamecube, DS in the same gen as the PS3, 3DS in the same gen as the PS4, etc.

That is my point.  We can't categorize hardware on anything other than output.  Resolution, settings and fps.  The switch is a 720p 30 fps system...   regardless of how new the chipset is or isn't.
