The chip exits, it's a Tegra X2 (Parker). If you put it inside a Switch it would run the same games 5-6+ hours on the same battery I believe. 

Really? So why doesn't Nintendo use it? Too expensive?

                               

The Jetson TX2 developer kit is $599

While the module itself is priced at $399

So expensive is an understatement, especially if you add in Joy Cons, Dock, Screen, Speakers, etc. No one would of bought a Switch at that price.

Maybe a Switch 2 will feature an X2 or even X3 when the price is lower.
