In layman's terms, the Tegra X1 in the Switch is around 2-3 times more capable than the Wii U's Latte GPU, while the Switch has 3GB of RAM available to games compared with 1GB on Wii U.

As a point of comparison, let's look at FAST Racing Neo, one of the most technically advanced games on both Wii U and Switch. On Wii U it uses a reconstructed 720p resolution where some elements are rendered at half-res, or just 640x720. On Switch it runs at 900p-1080p with no reconstruction, a very substantial increase in pixel throughput. Then on top of that it has a more stable 60fps on Switch and improved lighting effects as well.

So it isn't nearly as close to X1 as people here pretended before?

If by X1 you mean Xbox One, I haven't actually seen many people claiming Switch is close to Xbox One in power.

The performance gap between Switch and PS4/Xbone is similar to that of Vita vs PS3/360.
