Well, that might not be available with todays technology, but who knows what might be capable in 3-4 years. The new Tegra Xavier T194 is capable of pushing out 1.4 TFLOPS at FP32 (compared to Switch 384 GFLOPS in FP32 and the X1 chips full clock at 512 GFLOPS). That's almost a 3 times performance increase in four years. Give it another four years and we could potentially have another 3 times performance increase at ~4 TFLOPS.
Of course TFLOPS don't mean everything, but with the fact that new architectures come easier programming capabilities it is possible that the next Switch could rival the PS4 Pro in terms of raw power. Besides, a 3-4 times increase in power isn't a generational leap. That would only be slightly larger than the jump from Gamecube to Wii, which was around a 2 times increase in terms of power.

"The new Tegra Xavier T194 is capable of pushing out 1.4 TFLOPS at FP32"
That uses ~30watts of power to do so, which is fine, when docked.
Yes thats more or less what I've been saying.
When docked, a Switch 2 will likely be around where the base PS4 is at now.

The problem Nintendo has is the Wii U failure caused them to release the Switch early. They are so far behind in power atm (especially once next gen comes out) they have to somehow right the wave of the Switch longer than normally they would and hope mobile tech catches up to at least PS4 (ideally pro) level in handheld mode somehow within 10W of power usage.
If they release Switch 2 early I cannot see it being adopted much. They need to somehow bridge the gap or this gap will just continue to widen each generation. Then at that point there will be no multiplatform games. May as well be all Nintendo exclusives.
