March 2017 - Switch (Tegra X1 1/3 a XBox One performance)

Fall 2020 - Switch Pro (Tegra X3 PS4 tier performance)

Fall 2023 - Switch 4K (Tegra X5, Scorpio tier performance)

Yeah I could see that, various models built around above chipset configs.

knowing nintendo, id bet in something a little diferent.

In 2020 a switch version using x2, but with the same size and power of regular switch. With a few changes: 1080p screen, and portable mode with the same performance as regular switch dock mode. Optionaly, the user could set to batery save mode, that would slow the clock and perform like regular switch, bt with 50% more batery life.

In such way, the development would be the same, targeting reglar and dock mode regular switch. Also regular switch could still run every game, giving a full 7 to 8 years support to the regular switch. Nintendo showed a not sucessful experience with new 3DS excusives. Is better every switch being able to run every upcoming switch game.

Basically this.When a revision happens, of a more powerful Switch, this is what Nintendo is going to do, not what Soundwave described.
