That's not what will make it the Pro model.

X2 has the same performance at half the power draw so they can make a slimmer, lighter version with the same performance as the current model.

It also has double the performance at the same power draw so they can make a moderately more powerful version that replaces the current sku.

It would be like 2DS vs New 3DS XL

OK.

So X2. You can have the same performance if its slightly downclocked and will use a smaller battery too and and a smaller overall console and  this called the lite.

Or you can have about 40% more performance keep the size and form factor the same while keeping the battery size the same that will. Call this the pro.

The real difference between the two outside physical size is the size of the battery. More importantly, that goes out the window the second its in a docked mode.

I think it will be ridiculous to make two skus using the exact same APU but price them differently and one outperforms the other. But thats just me. 

Idk to me it seems exactly like something Nintendo will do
