Wouldn't that mean that your previous claim of such a device being possible today is nonsense?

Huh? The Switch is a hybrid device, and when docked it uses like 20-25watts too.
At those power ranges today (15-25w), AMD actually does have a chip that can do ~1.66 Tflops (not quite 1.84) but close.

At docked *handheld mode it would like the switch, need to run games at lower resolutions (and thus use less power).

10nm isnt far away, a shrink of a 2700U chip, for amd could probably make a "switch" version of a PS4 possible today.

I wouldn't pay much attention to what AMD is claiming - go to GFX Bench and look up 2700u vs 7850 (which is around PS4's performance) - it's more than 2x slower.

AMD will get there eventually, but not just yet - and they need to have SoC that is capable of running PS4 games as they are, not with lower res/settings like with Switch where games are made from the start for both modes.
