Honestly, I don't think this is such a big deal. Maxwell is already good enough.

Switch doesn't need to compete with PS4 in power; even a stock Tegra X1 would be enough to surpass Wii U graphics, which is pretty damn good for a portable device. Nintendo's games already looked great at Wii U spec, so 500 Gigaflops is more than they need.

Agree, but article is a  little strange, they saying it has power more than 1TF and that would be too much for Tegra and some realistic expectations are 500-600 Gigaflops.

Yeah the article is a mess and reads like it was written by someone with very little understanding of the topic.

All I'm saying is, if it does turn out that Switch is Maxwell Tegra rather than Pascal Tegra, I don't think that's a problem.
