Biggest limitations for mobile tech is battery life/power consumption and cooling, and we know that Switch in dock mode will not have those problems.
Actually just 3x more increase in FLOPS can be translate more than 3x more power in real performance, because NVIDIA FLOPS, because new tools, APIs...that Nvidia specifically made for Switch in order to use most of Switch hardware for games.
Agree its like comparing apples with oranges, NVIDIA+ARM vs AMD APU, but again we can expect that Switch will be around 3x more time stronger than Wii U (it can be little less powerful than that, or more powerful than that, but for now around 3x more time is best bet).

Actually, we don't know that. There has been no confirmation that the dock provides any kind of performance boost at all.
You're making too many assumptions. The truth is that we just don't know yet. It could be 3 times as strong as Wii U, but we cannot make that call yet as we simply don't have enough concrete evidence.
Basically, it's more accurate if in future you say "I expect it to be 3x Wii U", not "it is expected to be x3 Wii U", that way it's clear that it's your opinion.

Actualy we know those are biggest problems for mobile tech, and actuly we know that dock will provide more power and because of that there will not be battery life issue in dock mode, logical. If you look on Switch trailer you will see that Switch has holes for cooling, it's highly unlikely that Switch in portable mode will have active cooling because of better life, so its assumed that will have active cooling in docked mode. Also EG and Emily reported that devs kit also had active cooling.
Again, we talk what can we expect with infos we have not what is a fact, and again like I wrote, around 3x more power than Wii U is best bet with all infos we have.
Again, thats not some my wild prediction, thats also very realistic expectations of lotsa people that are actualy very informed about ofical and some of people that are informed about unofficial Switch infos also. We already had very similar expectations when some people were saying that NX is Nvidia based hybrid with less power than XB1, while people that basically ignored all infos we had were saying that NX is AMD based home console stronger than PS4.
You again start to repeat what's already written, pls dont do that.
