If this is true... I'll definitely wait 1 or even 2 years to buy it (cheaper and bundled). I don't care about power, but that's simply shocking if true! I thought at the very least it would be 3-4x more powerful than Wii U. I'm baffled.

It look like is gonna be around x3 the power of wiiu so your expectations may be right in the low end.

x2 is probably more accurate. Still that's good enough to get you Wii U graphics at 1080p (2.2x the pixels). That's probably exactly what Nintendo wanted when starting this project ... Wii U graphics on the go (so they could port their Wii U engines easily) and Wii U graphics at 1080p for home play. 

A lot of what's coming out lines up perfectly with this too.

If you wanted a portable game machine capable of running Wii U games, you would need about 176 Gigaflops. Well Switch is about 154 gigaflops undocked, factoring in architecture improvements this is virtually a wash. 

And if you then wanted to be able to run those same games at 1080p, you would need to render 2.2x as many pixels. 384 gigaflops hits that a tee almost perfectly.
