It not only about that, but X2 because much more efficient architecture can run chip at higher clock with staying power efficient.
Switch will most likely have quad ARM A57 CPU running at higher clocks thats will most likely be several times stronger and more capable CPU than Wii Us CPU, it will have most likely 3x more RAM memory than Wii U, GPU will also be noticeable stronger, memory bandwidth will be around similar (I cant imagine that Nintendo will go slower memory for new console than previous had, especially because Nintendo always pay attention on memory performance).
So how exactly Switch can be just 1.4x Wii U!?

Apparently my 350 gflops for WiiU was incorrect. If it really is only 176 gflops and the Switch does get the Tegra X2 than 3x is possible. The WiiU would only have the advantage in 70 GB/s edram for rendering, yet main memory bandwidth would be 4x increased.
I'm still hesitant about the low power requirements. Will Nintendo really have it run in two different modes, docked and undocked. Or is it going to have worse battery life than the gamepad. And how will those mobile chips' performance compare to console apu. Will it be worth upgrading for Zelda, or might as well wait for the price to come down and play Zelda on the WiiU.

It's not really imagine that Switch outside dock runes at lower clocks because battery and because there is no need for full strength in handheld mode, while in dock runs at full clocks (also its assumed that in dock there is active cooling), and run for instance same Nintendo game in 1080p on TV in docked mode compared to 720p Switch outside dock.
