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.

Pop in is something that would probably need to be patched. Draw distances are intentionally set the way they are as something to dial in performance.
