That depends mostly on the resolution target. The X1 is running the Skyrim remaster at 1080p, and there are much more graphically complex 1080p titles on the X1. A console half as powerful should certainly be able to run it at least 720p, and something between the WiiU and X1 would be above that (this all mostly ignoring the CPU; on that front i'd expect the Switch to be at minimum close to the PS4 and X1. They're low-spec and cheap, and anything much below it would make it a much harder sell for multi-plats).

The Switch could very well be in range of the X1, but at least as far as the Skyrim remaster goes, i'm confident in saying it doesn't have to be.

Someone earlier pointed out Bethesda actually had trouble getting it to run on X1 so I don't think a console half as powerful could run it at even 720p, more graphically complex games doesn't really mean anything tbh unless you're saying Bethesda went out their way to optimize the Switch version something that contradicts their earlier statements only focusing on hardware with out much issue.

720p is less than half of 1080p, so i fail to see why a system half as strong as the X1 (with consideration to my note about the CPU) wouldn't run it. Something half-way between the WiiU and X1 would be a moderate step above that, so baring Bethesda being even less competent optimizers than normal, i'd honestly be shocked if they couldn't get it to run.
