so essentially you could release a few different skus of Switch using the X2?

A Switch Slim that is smaller, lighter, more portable, better battery life & Switch Pro that has docked mode level of performance while undocked?

Yes, you could put the X2 in the current Switch casing and make different models from it. If you used the lower-power mode of the X2, you'd basically double the battery life of the system, and since the system is pushing out considerably less heat, yes you could also make the system smaller/thinner if you wanted. 

Or you could use the same chip to double performance if you clicked on performance mode and have double the performance in the same casing size. 

I imagine Nintendo R&D probably has Switch models that have a Tegra X2 doing both and they are testing both out right now. 

ya ive been saying for awhile that Nintendo will release two skus like those along with a home only microconsole over the next 2-3 years.
