I think as we've seen with the GA107 chips (2050, 3050, and 3050ti mobile) performance doesn't scale much with memory bandwidth (see: RTX 2050 vs. RTX 3050 comparison from earlier, within 2% of each-other on average, with memory bandwidth being the only difference.)

So 120 GBps probably is a good choice on Nintendo's part.

If the TGP were Series S level and clock rates could go quite high, then maybe the Switch 2 would benefit from more memory bandwidth, but the bottleneck seems to be elsewhere for these lower-end Ampere chips.

I think 90 to 120 gb/s is a good spot, I don't have a problem with the rumored choices.  I just see a lot people, not just on VG, commenting that the S2 is going to have more ram than the Series S...  which might be true, but people are forgetting the ram is WAY slower.  And that is fine, mobile isn't going to compete with home.
