How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

I mean ultimately the fact that you're getting anywhere near XBox Series S GPU performance in a portable this thin is above expectations. 

The fact that it's on 8nm is absolutely bonkers, Nvidia and Nintendo did a great job getting good performance considering that. The graphics output at only 10 watts is outstanding. Puts a lot of those PC handhelds that need 15-20 watts to shame. 

This is definitely a new hardware era for Nintendo, we are definitely out of the DS-Wii-Wii U-3DS era for sure. 

Still think we will get a Pro model revision this cycle too, maybe one that allows the CPU cores to clock higher as there's a lot of performance there I think left untapped.

DS, 3DS and even Game Boy if you count Game Boy Color as a Pro version all had "Pro" versions.

Switch seems to have avoided one because of the Supply Chain Crisis during the global pandemic. Additionally, Nintendo probably already knew around 2021-2022 that the Switch's successor would be a generational leap but not reinvent the wheel in terms of function, so a Pro probably seemed redundant. 

I think the only likely reason a Switch 2 Pro won't happen at all (and it would happen around 2029-2030 if it does) is if the global economic conditions right now like tariff concerns get worse over the next few years. Because if they do, Nintendo could price a Switch 2 Pro at something insane like $700-$900.
