How Will be Switch 2 Performance Wise?

The original Switch was much lower clocked than the Nvidia shield, but that was because its chipset wasn't customly designed for it and Nintendo purchased it as a sort of "hand me down." 

This is false.

The original Switch was much lower clocked due to battery life and thermals.

Running games in a closed console environment has the expectation that the hardware would be 100% utilized more often than not as software is designed to strictly target the hardware.

In an open platform like a Shield or PC, there is an expectation that the CPU or GPU utilization may be lower than 100% as the software is targeting the OS/API's rather than the hardware.

Nintendo also needed a cheap quick-to-market chip and the Tegra X1 fit that bill perfectly, Nintendo *could* have offered 50% more performance by using the Pascal variant, but I guess financials got in the way.

Nintendo didn't buy the Tegra X1 in the Switch as "hand me downs" - The Tegra X1 in the Switch HAD to be manufactured from scratch, nVidia didn't have a warehouse of these chips sitting around doing nothing.
