How long would you prefer a console lifespan to last before replacement?

Xavier is still geared towards mobile applications, nVidia just chose to throw energy efficiency out the window with the chips it did release in order to hit certain performance and power targets for specific markets.
Chips can scale downwards and upwards surprisingly well in terms of power consumption.

nVidia will still build semi-custom chips based around it's Tegra line for various customers... And if they can reuse those designs for other devices like Shield, then they will probably do so... They might have chosen to give up on Phones and Tablets, but they are still active in this space.

IMO, Xavier if ported to 5nm and with a lower clockspeed as well would be perfect for a Switch successor so long as Nintendo doesn't worry about backwards compatibility (incompatible ISA) ... 

I don't know if Nvidia likes the idea of tailoring to the specific needs of a big customer because so far all Nvidia has done recently is use off the shelf available silicon so they might actually refuse to design/build a truly semi-custom chip unique to a customer ...
