The X1 is a better CPU than Jaguar. Yes, Nintendo will tweak it so it may end up being lower powered, that is true.

I updated my bandwidth of the memory likely just as you quoted me. LPDDR4 is also a better tech of RAM than DDR3. Yes, due to Maxwell limitation, this will be slower and overall lower quantity. However, as I mentioned, PCs use less right now for the same games we're discussing,

You need to go look back at NS images and the patent report. NS has an actual fan and venting for heat. Portable mode may turn it on at low or not at all. However, docked it is certainly on. This is confirmed as fact, not up for debate.

Tegra X1 is in the current shield which is also a small portable device. NS will certainly be more powerful than that and fully capable of running latest AAA games. Multiple people who have been right many times already have stated its less but not substantially less than Xbox One in power. The fact you don't even know there is a fan suggests you are misimformed about other things like how games scale when built on middlware tools such as UE4. There is not technical reason 3rd party games won't be ported to NS based on the rumors I've spelled out in the OP.

A lower clocked quad core ARM could really struggle with games written for 8-core higher clocked Jags though.

Tegra X1 has 8 cores ... X2/P1 etc has 6 ... I seriously doubt it wil lhave 4 cores as that one devkit rumor stated.

Again, there are quad-core PCs similar or lower in power playing the current-gen games at lower settings now.
