The specs has been released for the Tegra X2 so it has been produced. Nintendo could have paid NVIDIA to mass produce the chip solely for the Switch. A rumor came out today from a Japanese journalist that it is the Tegra X2 that is being used, but we do not know yet.

 

According to this source the X2 has 1.5 teraflop of computing power. This is 16 bit or half floating point however. Gaming uses 32 bit or full floating points. The Xone is able to render 2.6 TFLOP using half floating points and 1.3 Tflop using full floating points. There was a thread lately about the PS4 pro being able to render 8.4 TFLOPS using half floating points. Anyway if NS uses X2 it gets to 0.75 TFlops leaving a gap of 0.6 TFLOPS, which makes the NS a bit more powerful than half a Xone, without taking many things which are pribably in favour of the Xone into account. Considering how games will look and the frame rate and its stability for third party games.

Regardless a 0.6 TFLOPS difference does not make the system as weak as people make it to be. Obviously other factors come into play, but why would you say XB1 has the advantage when it comes to the other factors?
