Who cares? Why does it even matter?

Does it make a difference?

it is custom, since we know they cut the performances of the X1

Unless early Switch's are using the standard chip but later stock will have a customised chip. Maybe all launch Switch's are actually dev kit Switchs with a retail firmware and later Switch's will be different. So many problems with the early Switch's, it's practically beta hardware. I also think there is the possibility (remote possibility) that final retail Switch's will only be 2GB not 4GB and currently only 2GB is being accessed. For early adopters they may benefit later with being able to run dev kit software with a hack. Ok none of this is likely but it is possible.

What problems are you talking about? I haven't encountered a single one. It's a super quick and efficient system. I can boot up the system and play a game in less than 10 seconds.

Retail has 4GB.

Okay...

What games can the Switch play? That's what's more important.
