Modern architecture, DLSS and solid-state storage could make all the difference.
For now, let’s focus instead on the concept of closer alignment to the last-gen systems.
The original Switch makes a pretty good case, but the Steam Deck is an even more obvious example.
However, in other titles, we’ve seen closer parity between Deck and PS4.
However, it’s the GPU that could prove more exciting.
In terms of basic grunt, likening it to the last-gen consoles is probably on point.
Outside of the GPU, T239 also has a hardware decompression block for faster loading too.
It’s DLSS that could be the real gamechanger, however.
Both of those are upscaling from an internal 720p.
What really excites me about a new Switch isn’t just the hardware though.
They got to know the hardware, they exploited its strengths and worked around its weaknesses.

Now imagine that same level of tool and enterprise applied to a brand new Nintendo hybrid.
