Nintendo Switch 2 in docked mode will have performance similar to Xbox Series S, but in portable mode it will have “crazy” low GPU frequencies

Announcement expected next year

The Nintendo Switch 2 game console can have very high performance indeed, but only in docked mode. 

According to recent data, we are talking about 4 TFLOPS. This is the level of Xbox Series S or PlayStation 4 Pro. That is, this is very, very significant, considering that we are still talking about a portable console. However, performance in TFLOPS — This is a rather specific indicator for GPUs, and it is at least partially correct to compare here only with related solutions. If we assume that the Switch 2 has an Ampere architecture GPU (with improvements from Ada Lovelace), then 4 TFLOPS — this is a level slightly lower than that of the RTX 2050.  

At the same time, performance in portable mode is unknown, but it is reported that the GPU frequency will be «crazy» low. Possibly below 800 MHz. This will be done to reduce power consumption and increase autonomy.
