How would the Switch be more powerful than WiiU with only 2GB of RAM? Even with better architecture?

Well it is actually fairly close in power to wii u/ps3/360 in portable mode but gets a boost to graphics only in docked mode to allow higher resolutions. It isn't significantly more powerful than wii u anyway but can run code off cartridge and the OS in the background may be significantly simplified compared to wi u. wii u actually used 1GB of its memory for the OS which is huge and not the norm. 

Again all will be revealed with the tear-down that is sure to happen. Memory chips are labelled and as soon as a Switch is opened up the information will be there unlike other facets of the specification which take time to work out.

Where exactly are you getting all of this from because every speculation so far puts it at at least twice as powerful than the Wii U when in portable mode even the lower end speculation. Even the improvements done to BOTW and the presentation of SMO signal that it's higher than what you're claiming here.
