How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

I know I'm likely beating a dead horse here (and I'm sure this will get a thread eventually) but do we think a hypothetical Switch 2 Pro could functionally match a PS5/Series X in docked mode even if not matching them in raw power? Switch 2 is closer to the eye in performance to Series S and Xbox One X than some expected. And it outpaces PS4 Pro in a lot of ways.
Provided it makes economic sense with tariffs and stuff among other things, I wonder if reaching close to PS5 performance with a Pro in 2029-2030 is feasible.

Nah even in 2029-2030 hitting PS5 performance levels in a handheld form factor will be tricky, and Nintendo won't push for high end tech given how expensive it is nowadays.

In addition to the thermal/spatial/wattage limitations of mobile tech, Pro will also be "held back" by the base model.

Literal 1:1 performance maybe not, but a Pro model could easily run every PS5 game even more easily if Nintendo wanted. A die shrink of the existing chip alone if it was allowed to upclock could likely run every PS5/XSS game largely fairly comfortably as the existing Switch 2 already is showing it can run PS5 tier games without too much fuss. 

You'll probably see even with an overclock of the existing Switch 2 chipset (if or when that happens), that with overclocking a lot of these games will be able to bump to 40, even 50-60 fps and/or run at a higher resolution (if that's what you want).
