I do agree that this belief in FP16 magic is plain silly.
I don't count on 3rd parties to use FP16 to magically pull Mass Effect 4 and Red Dead 2 out of a hat onto the Switch.
I do think it's something Nintendo could utilize in their games though in a custom engine. But I doubt they'll do that.
Personally, I'm inclined to think that...
-The OS is significantly leaner because the system is ARM rather than x86
-The custom Parker chip is not the same Tegra X2 chip used in cars and actually is 1 teraflops in FP32. Given the lean OS and that nVidia punches above it's weight in performance / flop, Switch ends up being roughly around X1 in power level.
-nVidia's Optimus tech plays a role in the SCD meant to boost the Switch dock mode later in the future.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
