More shocking is the speed of the RAM involved.

Xbox Series S
8 GB running at 224 GB/s
2 GB at 56 GB/s

By comparison:

Xbox Series X
16 GB @ 560 GB/s

PS5
16 GB @ 448 GB/s

Xbox One X
12 GB @ 326.4 GB/s

Steam Deck
16 GB @ 88 GB/s

Switch
4 GB @ 25.6 GB/s

The Series X also has two speed tiers. 10 GB @ 560 GB/s, and 6 GB at 336 GB/s.

That 25.6 GB/s memory bandwidth is apparently the Switch’s bottleneck.
