Sorry, but you were being highly delusional. We know officially that it was a Tegra for quite a bit of time. Even the future Pascal Tegra won't top the Xbox One. The Tegra X1, even with the full clock as used on the Shield TV, couldn't come even remotely close to it.
I'm a bit disapointed since I expected at least Shield TV performance when docked. I'm more worried now in how devs will deal with the massive power gap between the two Switch modes. It's more on par with base PS4 vs Pro, but in that case the base model already deals with decent settings at 900-1080p, so its big bro just ups the game to 1440p-4K. For Switch, the big bro will already suffer to run PS4-level games at 720p. Anyway, it wouldn't get 3rd party support even if it had a 10 Tflops GPU and costed 2 grand. At least this gives me a bit of hope in seeing it retailing for US$ 175 (dockless) and that would be a huge deal.
In the end, that pretty much kills that "hybrid" BS. It's a handheld with a TV out. It's not like this is bad at all, I was seeing it as a handheld, the rest is just extra stuff to make it more interesting.
