Where are you getting this information from?

Correction it's 10 watts for the GPU (this is still a lot for a mobile device), the Nvidia Shield console which has the Tegra X1 pushes 20 watts total as a system. 

Keep in mind though the Switch can't just power the GPU and nothing but. The CPU, WiFi, RAM, LCD screen among other components consume electricity too.

 

The batteries in the Joy-Con's will help out with some of the Switch's power consumption. The wireless setup is in the Joy-Con. The system is confirmed to have THREE batteries.
