Steam Deck has 1.6 TF with TSMC 7N/6N process and the SOC can reach >90°C in complex 3D games. Switch 2 has to be slimmer, cooler, lighter, longer battery life at a worse (Samsung 8nm) or comparable process node (Samsung 5nm). You can't make comparisons to home consoles with their high-juice SOCs. OG Switch has 0.15 TF in handheld. Going to 1 TF is an 8x increase and I am not convinced that we get 8x more raw performance.
