Power? Can you be more specific?

If FLOPS:

Switch docked is 500, portable 393 Gflops.

Wii U was 176, or 2.23 - 2.84 times weaker than Switch.

Wii was 12 flops, or 14.6 times weaker than Wii U.

So yeah, I think it is safe to say it will be at least twice as powerful, unless you are measuring power by something else?

Not only is flops irrelevant. But your Gflop count isn't even accurate.

Switch is: 384Mhz to 768Mhz.
So simple math says... 384*2*256 = 196Gflop for portable.
But with the increased clock of 460Mhz it would bring it up to 235.5Gflop for portable.

This is all single precision by the way.

Docked would be 768Mhz for 393Gflop.

It's as simple as taking the number of shader cores... 256 in this instance, multiplying it by 2 instructions per clock, multiplying it by clockrate.

I got those numbers from the graph in the link, didn't calculate the flops myself as I didn't know how. I guess their numbers are wrong?

Anyway, what's a better thing to compare for power?
