I don't expect it to be fully 3x better than a Wii U.
I think it won't be full clocked for one, secondly I think there is more to graphics/hardware performance than just flops.
Wii U being able to run at a full 33 watts with a giant ass brick of a power supply will give it some advantages over a Switch that runs at maybe 20 watts tops, and that's docked and everything, in portable mode it's probably 1/3 that.
Which brings me to another thing -- I don't think Nintendo wants huge performance differences between docked and undocked modes. Some improvement, possibly yes, but like huge differences .... IMO, no.
Nintendo may well gimp the chipset a bit or go with one a bit cheaper/stripped down because they feel they don't need the highest performance.
The GPU can only run at a max 6-7 watts, that puts a big low roof on performance. I think one of the main things Nintendo wants to emphasize here is that you can play the same go whether at home or on the go, not one build of a game, and then something is very noticably worse on the go.
