The recent rumors going around is the Switch is 50% more powerful than an Xbox One running code at 16 floats. So the switch is going to be quite powerful for its size. The bad...it's also rumored to have a maximum battery life of 3 hours while detached. I guess this is why Nintendo said it's first and foremost a console.

I would keep those expectations low given the size of the device and intended to be portable. Realistically, I say expect something above the Wii U and well below X1.

Agreed, but it's only 50% more powerful if the code is optimized which is up to the developer. (and possibly if overclocking is achieved when docked via cooling aid) So it's rumor mixed with programming style, which I admit isn't anything to hold on to. The fact that it runs unreal and it's a custom chip is still promising for the Switch.
