They'll use a Tegra X2 for revisions, I'm more certain of it now the more I think about it.

Nintendo fans are too over-awed by new technology they think it automatically must cost way more, that's often not the case. In 12-16 months the Tegra X2 likely won't cost much if at all more than the Tegra X1 does now and virtually all the R&D has already been done on the chip. 

Nintendo not using a stupid custom chip gives them options that they didn't have with a lot of their past hardware. 

Point is that you dont know how much good deal Nvidia gave Nintendo for X1 chips and how many X1 chips Nintendo has, and what cost of X2 chip will be compared to that. Apparently Nvidia had huge stock of X1 chips and thats why they gave Nintendo great deal for those chips.

Maybe we will have X2 chips in Switch next year, maybe we want, but I definitely wouldn't be so sure like you.
