In 2020, Tegra X3 can come out and that can match ps4 but not for ps4/5 portable so ADM, what is the strongest mobile chip they have now? Also, no way it is only $250 and battery last 4 - 5 hours. Switch battery last only ~ 3 hours for AAA and ~ 4 hours for small game.No way it can be far stronger while cheaper and a lot longer battery in 2019-2020 than Switch

The Switch is using a 2 year old SOC. AMD has the Raven Ridge APU's Ryzen 5 2500U and Ryzen 7 2700U. These chips have the same 15 Watt TDP of the Tegra X1, and offer a massive increase in CPU power, and upto 1.5x the GPU power. 

In 2019 - 2020 we will have 3rd gen or 4th gen Ryzen tech and Navi or its successor, which are focused on scalability and performance per watt. This will all be delivered on 7nm fabrication instead of the current 14nm, which in of itself, will deliver massive gains, let alone the achitecture improvements.

Building a mobile device in 2019 - 2020 that is cheaper, stronger, and lasts longer than the Switch will be no challenge at all. Building a mobile device that destroys the PS4 in CPU power, and tops it in GPU power in 2019 - 2020 will be no issue at all. Nintendo could build a Switch right now, that is cheaper, with more power, and a twice the battery life using the Tegra X2.

X2 is only 25% faster than X1 and hasn't been used in any mobile platform yet, only car so far. Not for general public mean  it will be more expensive. Till 2020 they will use X3 instead. And your 7nm exist in your theory no way is just $250 with 4 -5 hours when play on the go. No battery tech with cheap price like that exist yet
