the Shield uses the same SoC as the Switch, they should be able to run the same code

I wasn't able to find information that verifies your assertion of the SoC being identical to the Switch.

I did find out that it is in-fact the nVidia Shield TV. Which means... The GPU is theoretically at-least 2.5x more powerful when compared to the Switch's undocked mode.
The CPU is 90% faster.

If it is a Pascal chip, we could be looking at even more performance gains as Denver brings allot to the table and the GPU is 50% faster than the Shield TV.

They both use the Tegra X1, I assume this new Chinese SKU uses the same.

The Switch chip is underclocked like you mention.
