Remember with great power comes batteries capacity, and thermal problem. And u guys forget that Switch is a dedicated gaming machine unlike Nvidia Shield Tablet or other Tablet device, The Switch run on optimization close to the metal , it doesn't need universal API like Android or iOS or Windows Surface. And all games will be made for one spec in mind so it will be fully optimize. 

Do you not understand the benefits of Pascal architecture at more modern fabrication node?
That means more performance at less power draw / heat dissipation, which is exactly what you want on this.

I think you also missed NVIDIA announcing that they themselves are behind the... API that Switch will use.
Nobody is optimizing down to the metal, it will still use common APIs even if having fixed hardware allow more optimization.
That is why devs like when Sony and MS release updates to their... console APIs, because nobody writes machine code.
