Not a leak, not a rumour but poor reporting from an unreputable fansite.

Some Japanese journalist says he thinks Switch will use a custom Tegra X2 ( so does most of Vgc) and just like us, he has no source.

Tegra x2 is is only 1.5Tflops when it's specs are measured in FP16, it's FP32 which we care about and that's pits it at 750Gflops. It's pretty much half as "powerful" as tge Xbox Ones GPU

"According to Nishikawa Zenji, who apparently is a really famous Japanese journalist who knew about the PlayStation 4 Pro long before it was unveiled and simply just in the planning stages"

Seems like he has some sort of foot inside the industry - but yeah, this could be either a rumor, a leak or speculation for all I know. Still, I think this lends a little more credence towards 1.5Tflops inside the Switch. And like I said in the OP, I have no idea what so ever what any of this means. Is there any possibility of this being close to the power of X1 when docked? Didn't sound like it on your comment though

The source article clearly paints it as speculation with Zenji saying the March 2017 release is why he thinks it's likely to be Tegra x2 and pascal being more efficient. he doesn't address it as something he has insider sources about. Theres actually a thread for it but I can't find it atm.

The latter bit of the article is based on misinformation of Tegra X2. partially because Nvidia want to boast the highest figure possible, also because the article isn't from a site with strong knowledge on the matter. Here's a decent write up on Reddit.

Unfortunately there is pretty much zero chance of the Switch matching Xbox One when docked,  unless they use 2 Tegra X2 chips, one in the device/ one in the dock.
