@Quark: VGChartz is being garbage again and not letting me quote your post, but do you have a source for Switch being 5 times more powerful than Wii U?

It features the tegra x2 which has 750gflops in 32bit floatingpoint and 1,5 teraflop in 16bit floatingpoint. The Wii U only has 175gflops of floating points and has no acces to running two 16 floating points operations at the same tome like the PS4pro and Switch do,  what possibly  gives it a little extra power, because simple operations could be run in 16 floating points. The CPU should also be a big power up since the Wii U cpu was terrible, it features more ram 4gb according to the rumors (Emily).  But ifwe only count rough GPU power and disregard the tech is newer it's a little bit over four times as powerful.

It doesn't feature Tegra X2 though, it features a custom Tegra for which we have no specifications as yet. 

In terms of RAM, the difference will likely be 3GB for games on Switch versus 1GB in Wii U, so a factor of three.
