How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

So based on what I saw in the hardware leal video, in terms of raw power the Switch 2 in docked mode is right in between a PS4 & PS5 in power, so maybe slightly above PS4 Pro level.

While in handheld mode, it seems like the Switch 2 is slightly more capable than a base PS4.

However, the Switch 2 should be better off cause of DLSS and the Series S being a more underpowered version puts the Switch 2 closer to receiving next gen ports since the gap isn't as large this time around.

Am I correct with this?

No, not really right in between PS4 and PS5.

PS5 is some 4-4.5x faster than SW2 docked, which is quite a bit more than by how much SW2 docked beats PS4, so for it to sit right in between PS4 and PS5 it would need to be twice as fast as it is now.

PS4 Pro is above SW2 docked, speaking of raw power, so in titles that are using 8th gen tech, PS4 Pro has the edge...technically speaking.

That said, as @sc94597 pointed out, 9th gen games that utilize tech found in newer GPU architectures, would really bring 8th gen consoles to their knees, while running fine on SW2, so yeah, technically speaking, ports are very viable.

Think of it this way - currently, something that is found near the bottom of PC GPU benchmarks charts, 3060 12GB (which is some 4x SW2 docked), is as far away from 4090 as SW2 docked is to PS5...yet it is able to run all modern games without a problem, only with lower settings and resolution.
