There are other factors besides power. In the case of Switch, efficiency is paramount. They could have made it weaker in order to improve battery life, heat generation, etc.

I hope not... I see myself mainly useing it as a homeconsole, and would rather it ended up as close as possbile to the XB1&PS4 as nintendo can get the chip.

It's simply too early to say at this point. We know that Maxwell Tegra performs at 500 Gigaflops and Pascal at 750 Gigaflops, so it's probably somewhere in that ballpark.
