The Switch combines lower powered A57 (a soc from..2012 on a 20nm process) with a Maxwell GPU (9+ years old at this point)

Honestly this is the time to start working on a Switch successor, they could easily more than double the current compute capabilities while keeping the same or lower power envelope.

That doesn't even counts the untapped bonuses from much higher memory speeds.

I would instantly buy this, we would be looking at mobile machines more powerful than a PS4 Pro which is imho more than enough for the type of console.

Nintendo doesn't even need to build it on the latest state of the art TSMC process, even the 5nm should be enough.
