If the leaks are anything to go by, there is apparently a 1.7 Ghz CPU limit and a 1.4Ghz GPU limit. The Switch 2 probably has a decent amount of thermal headroom as Nintendo is quite conservative with their max temperatures (and even more headroom with hardware mods.) I could see a hacked Switch 2, shelled in a custom housing, reaching those clocks, and almost doubling performance in frame-rate unlimited CPU-bottlenecked titles and maybe even increasing resolution to the max of their DRS caps in framerate locked titles. Basically would give you DLAA 1080p in DLSS titles that already have an internal resolution close to 1080p (like Cyberpunk 2077.) 

Nintendo should have put two fans in bottom of the dock (like those cooling dock add-ons have) and have it run at much higher clocks docked from the get-go.

If they really wanted to, they could always sell a new dock that does that. Although I think they'd rather sell a mid-gen refresh. Nintendo has historically prioritized low energy consumption even in their full home consoles (Wii, Wii U, etc.)

Would also love to see docked mode when plugged into a USB-C power source. Like you essentially can do with PC handhelds.
