As I said earlier (and in different threads), in theory it doesn't have to be in dock, but in main unit.

For the sake of thought experiment, slap two Tegra X1 onto the same die, make it 14nm and run only one downclocked to 700MHz in hendheld mode for ~360 GFLOPS and (if my math is correct) around 10W TDP and run both @1GHz when docked for 1TFLOPs. Or slap 3 X1s for 1.5TFLOPs.

Of course, this is all just having fun with guesstimates, no idea what tech at what cost nVidia can provide, and what is Nintendo willing to pay.

Sure. That would be entirely possible.

However... SLI isn't efficient.
It also drives up costs.

Memory pools need to be duplicated for each chip.

Well, not saying it would be SLI, more like what Cerny did with PS4 Pro (mirror copy of PS4's GPU, one half disabled in PS4 mode, other running at original PS4 clock).

But, as I said, it's just a thought experiment, I really doubt Nintendo went berserk with tech...one can hope though.
