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.

Look at Arms, that game runs at 1080p and 60fps and is clearly a level above Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U.Fast RMX also runs at 1080p and 60fps, just like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

To play devil's advocate here, I can think of PS3/360 games that look better than ARMS.

Also, those games may run at 1080p when docked, but they're 720p when mobile, which is the mode bonzo was referring to.
