Pretty sure it still requires additional performance even for upscaling as the PS4 and X1 have shown which would mean an SKU with significant change in specs, only way that happens is if they go a GB to GBC route with the NS where the new SKU is essentially its own platform.

No it wouldn't need additional performance, thats just scaller nothing more, like DF stated in video, they would just need USB C 3.2 port and HDMI 2.0 support. For instance Xbox One S internally upscales games to 4K resolution.

Pretty sure X1S has a dedicated chipset for upscaling as well as certain spec changes to accommodate that not too mention they had to add in features to deal with the heat generated.
