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, 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). 

It could run the same games with modifications, as the current model already does in many cases, but Wman asked if it could "functionally match" PS5; even with a die shrink/overclock, the CPU is still gonna make that tricky for games that are heavy in that department.
