Yeah I got you.  When I hear "overclock" I think pushing clock speeds higher than manufacturing recommendations.  

And yeah, the dock via proper cooling should allow higher clock speed than mobile mode.  It could help a lot.  I could see docked mode being at expected speeds and I could see it resulting in some very solid performance gains.  I can't remember the exact number but I thought the switch was under clocked by 30%?  

Ah yeah, my bad for using the wrong terminology, higher clocks is all I meant to say.

The current Switch runs at 768MHz when docked, while in portable mode there are three power profiles; 307.2MHz, 384MHz, and 460MHz.

So the highest portable clocks are around about 60% of docked mode, while the lowest portable speed is about 40% of docked mode.

RAM also goes from 1331.2MHz in portable to 1600Mhz in docked mode.

It is all good my friend.  It is easy to use the wrong words in written form, we all do it, including myself.  Which is why it is better to seek clarity versus jumping the gun.  

I'm surprised we don't see a bigger improvement when playing docked.  Those are some pretty big differences in clock speed.  Outside a minor resolution improvement I'm not aware of docked mode doing much for the current Switch.
