We don't know what Nvidia is working on, they certainly are making mobile chips, but they are basically only for Nintendo and smart car implementation. And since Nintendo is secretive, they're not going to be telling anyone about whatever they're doing for Nintendo. But they stated very clearly they see the partnership with Nintendo lasting 10+ years. 

Nvidia talks a lot.

Exactly, but that changes when basically the Tegra line is only for Nintendo. Then Nintendo tells them "well we'd rather you didn't talk about this because everyone and their grandma will know this is for our next Switch" or whatever. Since Nintendo is basically their only vendor for mass produced Tegra chips, they likely are willing to respect that. 

Whatever the equivalent of Tegra X3 was supposed to be likely already exists inside Nvidia and Nintendo's R&D labs, Nvidia is simply not going to talk about it because Nintendo doesn't want them to.
