You're focusing too much on a single aspect, that being raw bandwidth, and overlooking others such as the whopping 500% increase in memory capacity over PS3.

And in fact that raw bandwidth number vs PS3 is misleading; they look the same on paper, but precisely because of technological progress, the Switch supports Delta Colour Compression, a newer trick that gives it greater efficiency per GB.

And where is this 10-15-20% number coming from? Switch runs several games that are 720p or less on PS3 at 1080p, that in itself is a more than 100% increase in performance.

I don't know what to tell you.  If you think visuals for switch games are closer to ps4 than ps3, that is your opinion and while I disagree, I respect said opinion.

But tech is facts and we have easy examples.

Steam Deck newer chipset than 1080ti

Steam Deck more vram than 1080ti

1080ti significantly more memory bandwidth than Steam Deck.

And the winner via benchmarks and in-game performance is the 1080ti by a wide margin.

Not sure what else to tell you.  All this is easily searchable.  The facts are readily available.  Muscle matters.  It trumps newer chips with low muscle.

I feel like you've misunderstood my position.

I never said Switch was on par with the PS4 or even close to it. I've always said that it sits partway between PS3 and PS4; closer to PS3 in raw throughput, closer to PS4 in supported features and memory size.
