Aside for the ARM nature if X1, this post is full of false statements.
Please, people: stop with these threads. Every time I read nonsensical analysis on Tegra-based hardware. We already know the power of Tegra, it's a well documented and tested SoC.
And it can't compete with a PC based hardware such as modern consoles.
Please, stop.
A) Tegra is not a SoC. Tegra is a line of SoCs, with a wide array of varying performance levels
B) The Switch does not use a Tegra X1. This has been confirmed by Nvidia. It uses a custom chip, likely based on a TX1 but we have no official info on what changes were made.
C) Tegra Parker (which the Switch can't possibly be using) could definitely compete with modern consoles. It just wouldn't fit in the Switch's form factor.
Tegra by itself really doesn't say anything about processing power like you seem to think it does.
