It's not far above those though. That is factually incorrect. The PS3 CPU is much older than that but it is better than PS4 CPU, and because devs have said Switch 2 has similar power to PS4 CPU, we know that a CPU from mid 00's is better than Switch 2 CPU. I'm not trying to be argumentative or troll here, I just don't like smearing a well respected and successful developer as "lazy" when the platform has components inside that are weaker than what the PS3 had. 

I just don't want the "lazy developer" narrative to go uncontested here. I feel BGS deserved more respect than that. That's all. Having one person here on the other side of the argument is much better than having no-one. 

You keep repeating this notion that the Switch 2 CPU is PS4 level when that is false, benchmarks clearly show it to be multiple times more powerful than that. It is disappointingly weak for 2025 standards but even a weak 2025 CPU will beat the gen 8 consoles easily. Even putting that aside the i5-2400 can run Skyrim Special Edition at 60fps and is weaker than the Switch 2 CPU so that fact alone disproves what you've been saying so unless you can somehow explain why a stronger CPU should run a game worse than a weaker one it's about time to admit you've gotten this wrong.

Mods have contacted me so I don't want to continue posting in this thread but I just want to provide some context on where I got the Switch 2 and PS4 CPU being equivalent. It was Virtuos Studios that said it. This was their exact quote "CPU-wise, there is a clearer distinction between the two consoles. The Switch 2 is closer to the PlayStation (PS) 4 in this respect, having a CPU just a bit more powerful than the PS4’s". I had no reason to doubt them or not believe them when saying that. They seem like a reputable and successful developer. 

With regards to you saying the I5-2400 is weaker than Switch 2 CPU, I google AI'd "PS4 CPU vs I5-2400 and got this response -

The Intel Core i5-2400 is significantly more powerful in single-core performance than the PS4's AMD Jaguar CPU

Since Virtuos said that Switch 2 and PS4's are roughly a match, we can conclude that the I5-2400 is better?
