I'm on my phone and according to santiago it can't go over 720p which is already crap to begin with so it probably goes from 600p to 720p I have to see when I get home but with a proper analysis these things are hard to measure. DF did a proper comparison and sure they didn't boost the clocks as high as your sources but Nintendo would never do that's it would kill the battery. For example to get tears of the Kingdom at 45-60fps you would need extreme over clocking that give switch 1 hour and 20 minutes of battery life and it's can't even get there docked with out going into handheld mode. Don't get me wrong ninetndo really shit the bed by not upping the clocks a bit but it really just would have offered a more locked 30fps which would have been a great things for many games, calling it a pro though is a good joke.

Resolutions are generally locked by devs, unlike frame rates, so you're not going to see what a Switch would be able to do under max circumstances because these games are made for the regular clocked Switch. We can get hints in some games that have dynamic resolution, so some games will detect that they have large performance overhead and automatically jump from like 540p or less to 720p like Hogwarts Legacy and DOOM Eternal can in undocked mode. The difference is hugely obvious, it's honestly a bigger jump than PS4-to PS4 Pro games, because at lower resolution a jump up in res is more dramatic. 

The 4K Nintendo video shows better what the Switch can actually do resolution wise, he runs emulated Switch games on the Switch itself at resolutions of 1440p and higher. 

You're going to have to cite which OC you're talking about for Tears of the Kingdom, because I can show an OC Switch running it at 60 fps for 15 minutes which eats up about 8% of a full battery ... that works out to basically 3 hours battery life. There are different mods and different OC programs out there, that also complicates things.

This guy right here who was also on DF. He played for 1 hour or so and 30% battery left.
