That is exactly what I think, if people saying it will come out in 2022. I just haven't seen anything on on Nvidia's road map to suggest otherwise. Xavier in 10Watt form is only 0.8TFLOPs. Orin will come out in 2022 and run at 65Watts.
As for my magic sauce comment, if this was anywhere close to true, AMD would long be dad and killed off by NVIDIA. As JRPGfan indicated through the forumlas, it is closer to 25% gain then the double people are claiming.
Now Nintendo could be working on a secret custom chip from the ground up, I don't know but that would be very expensive to do.
I ain't saying that ports won't be possible, it is that if they do port, the game will essentially be different do to the raw power gap.
Big publishers want quick and easy cash. If they can't port it within a month of just some simple code changes it will never happen. I know people don't like to talk about EA and Activision, but for mass market they are big and people play their games. The fact that these two haven't really provided proper support to Switch and the Switch has outsold the XBOX then clearly the gap for them is big enough not to bother spending money.
Because I think in 2022 you can' have a significant boost over the original Switch, I think it is pointless releasing a next gen Switch as at the end of the day it is mainly a Nintendo game machine. I don't need better gfx atm, happy with Switch. Only reason to get a Switch 2 is in the hope it gets more support. May as well extend the life of the Switch as it is selling well atm. No need to rush into the next one

From here: https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/301531-nvidias-new-jetson-xavier-nx-adds-horsepower-to-ai-at-the-edge
The jetson xavier NX is capable of 6 TFLOPS FP16 at 15W.
Scaling to FP32 and to 10W (linearly), it would be capable of 3 FP32 TFLOPS at 15W, and 2 TFLOPS at 10W.
Unless I am loosing something, and it do not scale linearly...

Xavier is gonna be old ass tech too by 2022. Xavier is 16nm I believe, Switch 2 chip will likely be 7nm Turing based, that's going to be far more efficient and able to hit better performance per watt.
Still I mean that means at FP32, that 16nm Xavier NX is hitting 2 TFLOPS at at only 10 watts, that's better performance than a PS4 for only 10 watts is quite impressive. Keeping in mind too that a lot of people consider Nvidia FLOPS to be greater than AMD's listing, so 2 TFLOP Nvidia part may be more equivalent to like a 2.5 TFLOP AMD old processor, so that could be a good deal better than a PS4 as is at 10 watts.
