So a notable improvement then but considering how bad the Jaguar is it'd still be disappointing and way behind the current gen consoles. Hopefully it ends up being at least somewhat better than this.

I am not as pessimistic as some are about it. Switch 2's CPU, even at only 1Ghz should be comparable to mobile i5's from a few generations ago that plenty of people are able to play games on at console-level framerates. For example, I have a Thinkpad with an i5-10310U that should be roughly comparable performance-wise to the Switch 2. With an eGPU (which has its own performance penalties associated with it) it's able to play any modern game at >=30fps. 

As a rough test, I am currently downloading Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 now on an old Dell Inspiron with an i5 7300hq (4-core, 4-thread, low performance CPU) and GTX 1060 Max-Q to see how it performs. Guessing 1080p (upscaled) 30fps will be doable. The Switch 2's CPU should be slightly better than this old i5 in multi-core and similar in single-core. The GPU should be similar (maybe slightly weaker), in pure-rasterization. 

Can that handle Dragon's Dogma 2 alright? Cause I know that pushes the CPU really hard in certain areas with something like a Ryzen 3600 not performing that well.
