No, thats expectation based on expected Switch hardware, power of Pascal based Tegra, ARM A57 CPU and 4GB of RAM.

Nvidia about Switch stated: "NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world’s top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards".

Actually few industry experts (WSJ wrote their opinons about Switch hardware) also said that they expecting that Switch be Pascal based, Tegra Pascal is around 500-600 GFLOPS when it's not too clocked, so that's roughly around 3x stronger than Wii U power.

So yes, we can expect that Switch will around 3x more powerful than Wii U.

If you're talking about Takashi Mochizuki, he only said it was likely the GPU was Pascal based, but even if he's correct, it does not necessarily follow that its performance matches that of a stock Tegra Pascal; nvidia have already confirmed it is a custom design, and we don't know in what ways it has been modified.

Again, Pascal based Switch would gave us around 3x stronger performance than Wii U. Custom yes, maybe it will be upgraded or downgraded Tegra stock, we don't really know that, but with infos we have we can expect around 3x more power than Wii U, maybe something weaker or something stronger but around 3x.
