Well it is factually true that the original game is from 2011. It looks like I flip flopped but I still I genuinely don't know if the Switch 2, PS4/PS4Pro or XBOne/XboneX could run Skyrim 2011 edition at 60fps, let alone the 2016 special edition as they all have some serious weak points in their hardware. I don't want to argue over the technical capabilities of the Switch 2 anymore. Digital foundry did an excellent job at comparing Switch 2 and PS4 in Cyberpunk and I don't think I can do anything better than them with words in this forum here. 

PS4 also has a version of Hogwarts legacy that runs at a stable 30fps? We know PS4's CPU is terrible and much worse than I5-2400, so that means nothing? 

If the Switch 1 can run the 2011 edition just fine then the Switch 2 can obviously run it at a far higher FPS since its CPU as mentioned is well over twice as powerful as the one in the Switch 1, come on now. If you genuinely don't know that then sorry but you're just being very ignorant and not using basic logic. And your question is not relevant since I've clearly already shown the i5-2400 running games worse than the Switch 2 including the one you just mentioned, Hogwarts Legacy.

And the Switch 1 isn't running the 2011 edition. The 2011 edition uses a 32bit engine and the Switch uses a 64bit build, it uses the special edition engine. It will have the higher CPU requirements associated with that.

It just has a bunch of the SSE graphical enhancements disabled, which will have a negligible impact on the CPU.
