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? 

One individual person from that studio said that and the benchmarks don't lie so either he was wrong or was stretching the definition of bit since I definitely wouldn't consider a tad over 2.5 times better single core performance and nearly three times better multi core performance only a bit more powerful. And that can't be concluded no since the Switch 2 has a better Geekbench score than that CPU and the idea that a mid range CPU from 2011 would be better than the CPU in a 2025 console would only makes sense if it's a really cheap low end console.

Digital foundry did a video directly comparing the PS4 and Switch 2 CPU using the inbuilt cyberpunk benchmarking tool. Neither Switch 2 or PS4 was a solid 30fps and whilst on average Switch 2's fps was slightly better than PS4, at times the PS4 framerate would be above Switch 2's. PS4 Pro was a solid 30. I feel like what we're discussing has already been thoroughly investigated and and the results were conclusive.
