I don't think that technology exists at all yet, let alone cheaply. The Switch is $300, and even docked it's significantly weaker than a PS4 (which makes sense, it has to fit all its hardware into a portable case). In handheld mode the Switch's GPU is 9~ times slower than a PS4's.

why do u think that? there are many portable devices which are powerful than switch and that too at higher resolutions, e.g Apple's A11 bionic SoC. Not to mention the upcoming AMD Raven Ridge ryzen 5 and 7 APU's which are capable of producing better performance than tegra x1 at just15 watts. Switch maxes out at 18w in docked mode and 10w to 15w watt in handheld mode. So with 10nm Fab process and customizing the apu i m pretty sure sony can extract around 1.5tf of performance at just tdp of 15w.

So we have the technology, but i think its far more likely that Sony and MS have already placed their order of these chips and are customizing for PS5 and X2. 

I didn't say there weren't devices more powerful than the Switch, in-fact there's another Tegra chip (the X2) that's almost twice as fast. I was saying the technology you were describing (cheap PS4 fidelity graphics in a handheld) doesn't exist yet. The Switch is $300 and is only slightly above a WiiU in handheld mode. It's going to be a few years before all the pieces needed for a PS4 equivalent are available and affordable.
