Right now it is still unclear if the node is Samsung 8nm or 5nm (4nm is too expensive, 6 & 7nm are being deprecated.) With this leak, we know it's not TSMC. There are good arguments for both 8nm and 5nm, depending on which assumptions one makes. We'll probably have to wait for clock speeds to know for sure what's up there.
Performance-wise, we've known the ballpark of where the Switch 2 will land for a while now. The difference between Samsung 8nm and TSMC 5nm would've been about 15% in portable mode (bigger in docked mode, at a given power level.) Basically expect it to perform like a mid-ranged gaming handheld. Capable of running Series S games at similar qualities, but with much lower internal resolutions, relying on DLSS to make up some of the difference. Regardless it'll be much closer to the Series S than the Switch was to the Xbox One.
