Handheld: Right above PS4 before DLSS
Docked: Between PS4 Pro & Xbox Series S* before DLSS with more modern hardware than the former

• RAM: Slower than PS5 & XSX|S in the speed department, but more capacity than XSS. Should have 10.5-11 GB of RAM available to games going by the Switch 1's RAM allotment for its OS.

• Storage: UFS 3.1's max speeds should be a hair under XSX|S (2.1 GB/s vs. 2.4 GB/s), still plenty fast even if not maxed out.
  Lines up with what Digital Foundry & NateDrake heard about decompression techniques & fast load times of the BotW tech demo (respectively for each source).

• = Not only is the Switch 2 ARM-based rather than x86 like the systems compared, it's also Nvidia vs. AMD. There are plenty of factors at play to where it's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Plus the native Tensor cores of the Switch 2 will allow for DLSS, letting the system punch above its weight & decrease the size of the gap between it & the XSS. Nintendo could throttle down the SoC to the floor, but I'm not sure it'll be a doomsday scenario since this is a custom chip to begin with.

Gotta wait for NateTheHate2's podcast later today for some details (hopefully).

I really want a revival of the “apps” that made Wii, DSI, and 3DS so incredibly popular and fun..

The Switch’s UI is so boring and bland..

Can’t believe we’re 7 days away from a new Zelda.

Curious about how long it’s gonna be.

Obviously it won’t be BOTW/TOTK on that front (75-100 hours), but are we looking at something that’s 30-40, or more comparable to Link’s Awakening (12-15 hours)?

Welp, no Switch 2 announcement this week BUT NateTheHate2's podcast tomorrow will hopefully bring some news about it. At this point I've buckled up for October.

Edit: This podcast episode had no juice
