I still believe that the rumors were true, but Nintendo decided at the last minute to scrap the idea on a big upgrade over the regular Switch. Cause when you have a look to the rumours, this is pretty much what we had back then:

- new Switch with bigger OLED screen

- ethernet port

- bigger internal memory

- "MS Surface-like stand"

- 4K output

- upcoming games to be "4K ready"

And we got pretty much everything correct, and even the new dock can technically output 4K and 120fps (I don't recall if it was at the same time or just 4k@60 or 1080p@120fps) EXCEPT for the new Tegra chip.

And yet... It didn't actually happen.
It's not like Nintendo did a bait-and-switch at the last moment and opted to retain the old chip, these things are planned years in advance.

More than likely it was a simple mix up. 

Production line leaks (correctly) pointed to a Nintendo Switch model with an OLED screen and new dock and if you're also getting info on a new dev kit with a new chip, the natural assumption would be this is probably all for one model instead of being two different devices. Pretty easy mistake to make.
