No extra GPU. Dual GPU, specially assymetric, is hard to develop for. I would guess that the dock has a power source and fans for active cooling. When detached, NX probably uses 15 to 20 W tops (thermal and battery limits). When docked, it gets extra cooling and infinite battery, so it probably increases its footprint. X1S uses 70 W, but it has an HDD, so I guess NX can try to get a bit closer to it.
NX is said to use Pascal, so it is a Tegra X2 (Parker) device. Tegra X1 reachs 750 Gflops using 20 W. I could suppose that it could ramp up to at least 1 Tflop, putting it close to X1.
Obs.: I hate to use flops to compare GPUs. It's like saying that a car with a 3000 cc engine is faster than one with a 2500cc one.
