Switch is competent hardware. They used one of the best mobile chipsets available, it's as modern for its time as Gamecube was.

Given that there is actual, factual and technical evidence showing otherwise, I think I'll minimize my response to avoid spawning an argument lol

(they didn't, btw: the NVIDIA Tegra X2 was already available before the Switch released, so unlike Xbox releasing up-to-date with AMD using RDNA2 microarchitecture that released at the same time as the XSX/XSS, the Switch released behind the curve from the get-go)

Let's just leave it at the fact that there's a large enough portion of gaming community that wants a more powerful Switch which is why the topic keeps cropping up over and over again ad nauseum.

The Tegra X1 was still one of the best mobile SoCs around at the time of Switch's development though, and was still absolutely a capable and competent chipset at the time of the system's release. Gamecube was not using the very latest high end hardware for its time either, its GPU was developed from 1998 to 2000, for an end of 2001 release.

Hardware doesn't need to be the absolute most high end piece of silicon in existence to still be competent.
