Nintendo Switch 2 Tech Performance Discussion

I remember people arguing that the Switch 2 wouldn't have performance of the PS4 (even docked) years before the console launched. I was one of the few on the thread at the time that argued it was entirely possible and even likely to have at least PS4 performance while docked, and likely somewhere between the Pro and the PS4. This was maybe 4 years ago.

Around the same time I also assumed it would be likely the console would have 12GB of RAM and would be semi-custom (moreso than the Switch 1). I did this by merely paying attention to Nvidia mobile technology and what was out at the time. 

If you mean these 2022 threads... most of us expected raw performance in the ballpark of a base PS4 + DLSS benefits:

• https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread/246735/all-the-next-gen-nintendo-soc-likely-possibilities-published-by-nvidia/1/

The lowest expectation I've seen was Xbox One (S) performance + DLSS benefits.

But you seem to be the only one who expected 12 GB RAM, so kudos to you.
Most others expected either 8 GB or 16 GB RAM.
