ChipWorks (TechInsights) updated their article with the SoC X-ray. It's a Tegra X1 obviously not X2.
| After subsequent processing of the GPU from the Nintendo Switch, we have determined that the processor is the Nvidia Tegra T210. The T210 CPU features 4 Cortex A57 and 4 Cortex A53 processor cores and the GPU is a GM20B Maxell core. |
There is already a VGC thread discussing this @ http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=226859

Chip Works teardown
In the console:
- NVIDIA ODNX02-A2 Tegra (SoC)
- Broadcom BCM4356 (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth 4.1)
- STMicroelectronics SH641 (6-axis accelerometer and gyroscope)
- Samsung K4F6E304HB-MGCH (16 Gb LPDDR4 SDRAM) 16? Ahh NVM 2GB per chip.
- Samsung KLMBG2JENB (32 GB eMMC) iFixit has an Toshiba THGBMHG8C2LBAIL instead, could explain the independent board design
- Maxim MAX77621 (DC/DC converter)
- Realtek ALC5639 (audio codec)
- Pericom PI3USB30532 (USB 3.0/DP1.2 3:2 matrix switch)
- STMicroelectronics FT9CJ (touchscreen controller)
In the docking station:
- VIA Labs VL210-Q4 (USB 3.0 hub controller)
- STMicroelectronics 32P048 (MCU)
- Macronix MX25V2006E (2 Mb serial Flash)
- MX25L512E (512 Kb serial Flash)
- MegaChips STDP2550 Mobility DisplayPort (MyDP to HDMI converter)
- Texas Instruments TLV62130ARGTR (DC/DC converter)
- M92T55 chip
In the joy-cons:
- Macronix MX25U4033E (4 Mb serial CMOS XSMIO® Serial Multi I/O Flash memory)
- Texas Instruments BQ24072 (battery charger)
- Broadcom BCM20734 (Bluetooth transceiver)
- STMicroelectronics SH627 (6-axis 3D accelerometer and 3D gyroscope)
Right joy-con also includes:
- STMicroelectronics NFCBEA B123D6 (NFC IC)
- OmniVision infrared CMOS image sensor (motion IR camera)
They also talk about possible hardware design issues with respect to the bluetooth antenna which we have previously touched at VGC. You can read it all @ http://www.techinsights.com/about-techinsights/overview/blog/nintendo-switch-teardown/

Stand is made of glass-nylon. Highlights the lovely light pipies, modularity design, low-profile joysticks and overall design for assembly.

Interesting things might be their historical teardown and insights in manufacturing dates (his unit's casing was made in Nov 2016) and also comments on the light pipes.

Was 4GB RAM already confirmed?
