Sure I can. Mobile devices are limited by TDP. Most mobile devices are 88 gb/s, such as Deck and Legion. The T239 chipset, at full clock speed, maxes out at 112 gb/s. The switch 2 will absolutely be 112 gb/s or less. Mobile hardware can't run faster because of TDP.
It is a huge jump over the current switch's 25 gb/s, but is still behind home hardware.
There is no chance the switch 2 running anywhere near the series s' 224 gb/s.
Additional memory can help a bit to offset limited bandwidth, especially at higher resolutions. Basically the amount of ram is how much can be stored, while bandwidth is how fast you can move data on/off the ram. So if speed is low, then increase ram to hold more. Ideally, 16 gb would be great, but to be fair 1st party games likely don't need increased ram and Nintendo needs to be priced focused.
Loads of people claiming the switch 2 as having more ram at 12 gb compared to the series S at 10 gb. While that is true in capacity, it is very poor way of viewing it. The switch 2 will be maxed at 112 gb/s while the serie s is 224 gb/s. 10 gb at 224 gb/s will smoke 12 gb at 112 gb/s.
The switch 2 will be a lovely jump and will be day 1 for me, but people need to consider memory bandwidth. TDP plays a role as well, given there is a good chance the switch 2 will need to be underclocked.
@Fizza Final Fantasy IV and VI are both well worth playing. The others are meh. The Pixel remasters are excellent, coming from somebody who played the originals back in the day.

Re: Poll: Are You Bothered By The Frame Rate In Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom?
Frame rate is garbage. Quite a shame. Otherwise a good game.
Re: Legacy Of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Announced For Switch
Disappointed personally. Not the graphically upgrade I want. Doesn't seem much better than what a good emulator can already do.
