It pretty much means that its using older technology that retails at half the price, which is not a bad move since Nintendo wants to make it affordable.
The problem is that this technology in specific heats up pretty quick and this creates disparity in the performance, you will see the game in one way the first 40 minutes of gameplay and in a different way after this mark, because proper ventilation is not a luxury such a portable device can afford.
Apparently Nintendo found out about this too late into development and they realized that the only way of preventing their handheld from running out of battery and over heating too soon, its simply reducing 1/4 of the chip's power.
So imagine outdated arquitecture with over heating issues at 3/4 of the power it was intended. For raw power comparisons, if these rumors are true, the Switch is just a smaller upgrade from the WiiU, even when docked.
