If thats true, and that lets say it has around 1 TF for handheld mode and close to the 1.5 TF in console mode(with it docked, it dosent have to worry about battery and thuis actives more GPU components/no need to underclock), then this will be a very good home console, and a beast of a handheld.It should put to rest, or at least ease, the fear of not being powerful enough for third parties.

 

well if true, then developers will have to configure their games for docked and undocked. sounds like trouble to me.

Not necessarily too much trouble, many games are designed for PC as well and have lower settings than the Xbone and PS4.  So long as there's not need for a bunch of changes to make it work with the Switch's architecture, reducing some things to make it work better wouldn't be a major issue.  But as I already said, I think Nintendo will actually just shoot for one performance in both configurations that gets them as close to Xbone parity as humanly possible.
