Nvidia has made a press release too.

"With 10x the graphics performance of the Nintendo Switch, the Nintendo Switch 2 delivers smoother gameplay and sharper visuals.

• Tensor Cores boost AI-powered graphics while keeping power consumption efficient.
• RT Cores enhance in-game realism with dynamic lighting and natural reflections.
• Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) via NVIDIA G-SYNC in handheld mode ensures ultra-smooth, tear-free gameplay."

Well 10x the graphics performance would be roughly 4 TFLOP docked max presumably. Switch 1 was 393 GFLOPS docked. 

TFLOPS count is a meaningless metric. I'm assuming "graphics performance" is measured by the real world results (resolution, fps, settings, etc). So a Switch 2 version of a game beating Switch 1's version by 4x the resolution, 2x fps, and some settings would sit at about "10x the graphics performance". But it depends on the game design and engines. So for well optimised games, the real difference will vary between 6 to maybe over 10 times.

For RT apps, it'll be infinitely more powerful. There is just no straightforward answer to "how powerful a console is".
