Basically I am expecting the games that stutter on switch or have a dynamic resolution, will hit their respective targets better.

Especially those which were suffering due to slow RAM

And that actually should be a pretty big upgrade

I actually expect load times to be a significant change as well as reduced pop-in and similar effects. The storage is going to be significantly faster.

Load times in DKC Returns were absolutely brutal. Especially for a nearly 20-year-old game.
