Guess it should also be noted that on thr latest Switch leak its ssid that the Switch isn't even using Pascal architecture. And instead using Nvidias Maxwell architecture. 

Which puts it in shield territory as far as power goes. 

No it doesn't. That is architecture not power and actual devs on GAF say retail is Pascal.

Wait what?

So are you suggesting architecture and a systems power is in no way related? Do you know that from simply knowing what chip architecture a system is based on you can deduce what kimda power it would have in relation to its form factor, what else is out there....etc. 

eg... if this maxwell rumour is true, not saying it is, then it means the switch is based on a tegra X1 chip. It could be customized to have somethings in a tegra X2 chip but it's still based on a tegra X1. And then consider that chip has to fit in a package designed for mobiity. battery life...etc. 

Now even if it's based on the Pascal, which is what the original rumors suggest, then at best we are looking at 600-700GF in GPU performance. Anyways, don't take my word for it, we will hopefully find out in a few weeks. Though if it's the Nintendo I know, they will conveniently leave out any concrete technical specs.
