Yep, this is always a factor, even with PC games.

For example: the Switch 2 uses an ARM CPU.

That is different in significant ways than an x86/64 CPU.

How the system allocates memory is also... a confounding factor.

Sometimes you have just one kind of RAM shared between the CPU and GPU. Sometimes there are different kinds of RAM for the CPU and GPU.

It looks like the Switch 2 is sharing LPPDR5 RAM between the CPU and GPU, as the Deck does... on the Deck, you can use CryoUtils to manually adjust how much is allocated to which.

The Switch 2 will... maybe have a standardized allocation for all games, or allow certain games to adjust the allocation.

And then if course there is port quality, and proton...

It gets pretty complicated to estimate just purely from specs alone.

Hence why the PC centric crowd is so much into empirical testing via benchmarks.
