New info - Nvidia are apparently going to stop making Switch chips and start making a new Tegra one. I'm not surprised about Switch Pro coming, but ending production of the basic Switch is shocking to me if this is true.

If the existing chipset goes out of production, we are getting an internal refresh, not an additional Pro model because N wouldn't kill their existing cash cow for an expensive new chip upgrade. My guess would be just a die shrink with 4K output support for future streaming support.

Edit: it might be both, a die shrink for the existing models and an additional Pro model with Xavier or Orin chipset.
