You can calculate the FLOPs by multiplying clockrate then further multiplying by two for the Maxwell architecture.
the stock x1 is ~ 1GHz.

So 1000 * 256 (cores) * 2 = 0.512 TFLOPs

This is of couse for single precision.

Switch only runs at 768mhz though (when docked).

For the Switch it then becomes:  768mhz * 256 (cores) *2 = 0.393 TFLOPs  (393 Gflops) (docked)

Plus, what I see on Zelda is well beyond 157 in portable mode... that number seems way off

The Wii U is only 176 Gflops, and it does Wii U games in 1080p.

Its not a stretch that 157 Gflops Switch could do Wii U graphics in 720p.

So no the number doesnt seem way off, also its a newer architecture than that old Wii U... more bang for buck there.

Even in portable mode, the switch probably is equal to the Wii U.
