So in handheld mode its less than half the flops of the Wii U?
Wow I know this is Nintendo and they always disappoint but even still after all these year they still manage to shock

Wii U is 176 Gflops.

Switch is 152 Gflops (supposedly) when not docked, and just under 400 Gflops when docked (about 2,3x Wii U).

So when its a handheld, its probably about equal to a Wii U (newer architecture, Mem bw,.. ect).

 

That in itself is pretty neat, you might be able to play games on a handheld, that look just as good as your Wii U does when its hooked up to a tv.

Just on a really small 6" screen.

Wouldnt undocked mode still surpass Wii U? I mean this is only taking GPU into consideration while the CPU should be a pretty sizable improvement over Wii U and the rumors are saying Switch has over 3x as much usable RAM than Wii U.
