That was my point they were using non customised chips because the customised chips are not ready yet but yes also they will never actually use customised chips is also an option they simply disable features they are not using on the X1. A lower cost option I guess and maybe allows an easy upgrade path for later Switch designs.

It was described as a customised chip though by Nvidia.

What if the early Switch's are using a 20nm process but when Nintendo's customised chips actually arrive they are 16nm? 

 

Would a die shrink count as customising a chip?

But whatever, that customisation could simply be the disabled ARM cores or the lower than reference frequencies or maybe they just added some CPU or GPU instructions that Nvidia don't us in their Tegras. In any case, I doubt we'll know.

No I meant a die shrink in addition to the customisation which would perhaps be removing the little ARM cpu's and other parts not required for a leaner more efficient design with perhaps lower power requirements and cooler running.
