See, these rumors are getting ridiculous. I am 100% confident this isn't going to happen for a few reasons.
First, lovelace is a brand new architecture. The 30 series cards aren't even using it and, to my knowledge, it hasn't even been officially confirmed by Nvidia. It's so new that there isn't a single chipset that is out with it yet. This is what Nvidia is going to be using for their next desktop GPU's, not anything current. Tell me, when was the last time that Nintendo used a completely new architecture in their consoles? The N64? This simply isn't going to happen. It would require too much customization (which avoiding this is EXACTLY why Nintendo chose Tegra X1 in the first place) and it would be too expensive (Nintendo is all about maximizing profits).
Meanwhile, Xavier (which again I think this is best case scenario) has been on the market for two years already, is the most similar to Mariko (therefore compatibility with older titles wouldn't be an issue) and even has two different chipsets with the model numbers NX (one 10W and the other 15W).
You guys are expecting WAY to much out of a revision. It's going to be a modest boost at best. These lovelace and DLSS rumors would be way more fitting for a Switch 2 in two to three years.
