Don't get me wrong, I think the NXDS will definitely be able to handle fantastic looking downgraded ports of XBO/PS4-level games by the time it comes out that will look essentially undiscernable from the console versions due to the smaller screen, lower resolution made up for by high pixel density blah blah. But definitely nothing with the power of the XBO in such a small form factor by next year.

Oh I agree.
But not because of the chips themselves though, but because the Memory systems in mobile are poor. (I.E. LPDDR3/LPDDR4 usually single channel.)
Plus the Xbox One released with a 28nm chip that is based on technology that is 4 years old... And it was never fast to begin with.
The advantages of 14 and 16nm compared to 28nm does open up allot of possibilities though.

That said, this is also Nintendo we are talking about, they gave up trying to win the Performance and thus Graphics quality crown generations ago... They likely will not be using the latest and greatest mobile SoC.

Nintendo's pretty obsessed with high speed RAM pools on their systems though. Even the 3DS has some type of embedded RAM pool.

I doubt they would just use vanilla LPDDR4 and nothing else. Probably LPDDR4 + some embedded RAM or something equivalent.
