Errrm... No, they don't. It's been a customised chip from the start. Both Nintendo and Nvidia confirmed this on multiple occasions, and it says as much explicitly on their respective official sites. I disputed this "off-the-shelf-part" BS at the Old Place at the time, and I still stand by it today. Apart from the fact that such a claim is inconsistent with what's actually happening on the Switch, I've also been sitting on lots of readily available information, which I've compiled over two years. Also, Unless you believe that both have lied to customers, investors, and the press the whole time. then the bolded part shouldn't be taken as anything but false facts and fast conclusions. A few fancy die shots reveal nothing - What you have there is the equivalent of looking at clear liquid in a glass and assuming it's tap water, when it could be lemonade, vodka, acid, or rain. Even if it is water, you can't confirm that it's hot, cold, lukewarm, a bit of both, whether it's been boiled at any point, if soap had been added to it, and any bubbles which formed have now disappeared since the events.
For some time, It's become very deeply apparent that there's a set of disillusioned (Nintendo) fans, who, at the launch of every platform, feel a need to present Tumblr fanfic-esque "hypotheticals" about some perceived "more powerful" systems. They long for Nintendo to re-enter the race to the bottom that is "spec wars", and nothing that they put out would've been "good enough", until they released "a PSBox that plays Nintendo games with the same tired-ass 5th Generation Hardware Variants that they've been using for the last 21 years". On the other side of that, you have similar ill-thought "hypotheticals" such as "Switch Mini/Nintendo Vita", where the aim is to strip away the unique selling points to achieve cheap, unrealistic prices which they perceive as "satisfactory" for their products. Coming back to the topic, A Switch revision is entirely plausible in the near future, but it won't be "Switch Mini", or anything which sacrifices the unique points that make it a Switch. The New 3DS will continue to co-exist, and somewhere down the line, a dual screen successor which shares a library with the Switch might be possible. Whatever. I'll leave it here.
