Interesting I hadnt heard that till now. And I was just looking into this. Sounds like they might be doing some kind of translation layer like Proton. Switch 1 is ARMv8. And Im guessing that the Switch 2 is atleast ARMv9. So some instructions might have to be emulated. And I imagine they just ship the compiled shaders. Some kind of recompile will probably have to happen for the Switch2. Or possibly could be doing a translation there too. But I would think recompiling the shaders would be the better method but shrugs

And I bet one of the reason Nintendo went after the Switch Emus when they did is cause the Switch 2 is just an upgraded Switch 1. So Emulation base is already done.

There a Historian Sarah Paine. There a bunch of talks on YouTube she did. Very good.

But she mentions a few times how the US is playing half court Tennis. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/QUcdQLEhsc0
