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

honestly I find a little odd that you think that todays tech specially upcoming mobile tech cant out perform a 5 year old laptop APU and that too a crappy one, when AMD just showed that their latest APU can deliver 200x more performance then their last gen high end APU with a TDP of switch, now increase those tdp even further too 35w those same ryzen apu's are out performing a 91watt 5th Gen i5 processor.. also look at that gamecompany's new game SKY it looks as good as journey on PS4. 

If you are still not convinced here is another scenario, even if we take the latest techs of PSvita hardware, Like a PowerVR GT7900 mobile gpu, this gpu alone produces 1tf of performance now combine that with a custom design and 4 cortex A75 processor cores and a custom API, we have well over 1.5 teraflops of performance far better than xbox one. 

When AMD's currently unreleased APU still falls a little short, and that's before the need to include more and much faster RAM than a Switch, a 1080p screen (since we're replicating the PS4's graphics), likley a bigger battery, far more internal memory, etc, yes, i remain sceptical this can all be put into a Switch sized case, kept cool, and have an acceptable battery life. I don't think that's odd.

Even a docked Switch is a considerably hardware step back from a PS4, yet it's $300. Either Nintendo are badly ripping everyone off, or a PS4 equivalent (which for the sake of argument we will say is 100% possible right now) would be an extremely expensive handheld.
