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.

Hole chipset just for upscaling? Hard to believe, some changes under hood with S revision definitely. Just for record, Tegra X1 chipset has support for 4K output, for instance Nvidia Shield (same Tegra X1 chipset like Switch) supports 4K video output.
