Considering they said they would use "modern specs", this has to be some kind of finantial scheme. No company is that delluded to try and compete on the dwendling and oversaturated console market while having none of the infrastructure, money or established userbase of the big three. Even the OUYA was marketed as a microconsole.

This will probably be better than that, it wont be a phone chip.

My thinking is its a tablet chip, kinda akin to the Nintendo Switch.

Power probably somewhere in the same ballpark.

Whats really questionable is what kinda games it ll play though. Which is really much more important than power.

But that's the thing, isn't it? A microconsole would not attract the crowd needed to succeed in the console market (as the good old OUYA and the OG Nvidia Shield already proved) A console as powerful as the Switch would still cost around a decent amount, maybe something between 150-250€, maybe more considering this won't be mass produced like the other consoles, and they don't have the audience to attract 3rd parties or the manpower to make 1st party games to justify that pricetag. It makes so little sense I have to wonder why are they doing this exactly.
