Kinda figured this deserved its own thread, from MCV:

The same sources tell MCV that Nintendo is determined that NX will not suffer the same slow starts as Wii U or 3DS, and that Eurogamer’s report last week that NX is a portable machine with a breakaway controller that can be plugged into a TV is accurate. Graphics are said to be ‘somewhere between PS3 and PS4.’
“It’s a nice bit of kit, a bit of a novelty, but a good one,” one executive that went hands-on with the machine told MCV. “It won’t appeal to PS4 fans. Nintendo seems set on trying to upgrade smartphone gamers. That’s going to be a big job for the marketing department.”

My guess is a Pascal Tegra X2 based custom chip that's in the range of 700 GFLOPS-1 TFLOP when plugged into a wall. Which for a portable would be very kick ass. My other guess is the "TV dock" that's included is basically like a "cooling bay" for the chip which cools it and lets it run at full power at home with an active fan. When it's portable, it downclocks to 300-400 GFLOPS and is passively cooled. Just a guess though.
