Arguably? Nah. It most certainly *is* more advanced. 

Maxwell is an amazing microarchitecture, Pascal just refined it and took advantage of clock room.

But can it beat a GPU when developers are building games to take advantage of the various strength's and weakness's of Graphics Core Next? We know that there are a few edge cases where nVidia hardware tends to fold and AMD's hardware, shines. - How will that translate on the Switch remains to be seen.

Some GCN optimizations could potentially hurt Nvidia's microachitecture ... (Tons of asymmetries when we're talking about GPU microachitecture.) 

Shading language optimizations will also be different too. Shader model 6 is a perfect fit for GCN but I wonder what will happen to the Switch's performance as developers start doing these very hardcore shader optimizations you see on GCN ...
