Offcourse there isnt, but Switch is using custom Tegra chip, maybe Nvidia made them 16nm Maxwell Tegra chip.

But that is bonkers.  
Nintendo would not use modern architecture, but pay to redesign Maxwell for 16nm, when NVIDIA partners are now launching 10nm?
If they are going to pay for redesign around new node, why wouldn't they choose most modern available for best long term cost and performance?
If they don't want to use THE most modern node but just aim for 16nm, why wouldn't they use the better performing arch already on that node?

Probably another tip off that Nintendo actually wanted to launch this in 2016 but as always they didn't have enough software. They gave up on the Wii U years ago.
