Oh, and while the GPU is more powerful, it's not 50% more. While the TX2 at Max-Q settings has about the same performance as a TX1, at Max-P, that only increases to a 20-40% performance lead over the TX1 while consuming a similar amount of power.

Either way, this discussion is a bit pointless, as the original X2 will certainly not be used in the Switch going forward, and even some future chip based on the X2 might be changed internally. 

Once you start taking the improved bandwidth into account, the GPU will definitely be able to breathe, especially in fillrate heavy scenarios.
The Switch is bandwidth limited.

I am probably being conservative by stating "50%" when there is more than a 100% gain in real-world bandwidth.

The point of Pascal though is that, nVidia re-architected the GPU to operate at higher clockrates with minimal impact on power usage... We saw it on the PC with the move from Maxwell to Pascal.

You're really not. I got those 20-40% not from estimates, but from Benchmarks between the TX and the TX2, and that was the bracket of performance increase (in FPS) between the two with similar power consumption.
