First of all I literally replied to a post of yours where you said that the game being from 2011 is something that makes things more concerning so you're not even making a minimal effort at being consistent here. It being the 2017 remaster doesn't change the broad point at all either way though since the CPU's listed in the minimal requirements for the Special Edition are from 2009 and recommended ones from 2011/2012 and the Switch 2 CPU is obviously far above those. And yes that is the obvious conclusion if you had bothered to do any research on it since there's been major complaints about the port such as it having awful input lag.

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.
