From this statement alone we can see that they are trying to make the custom tegra on the same level as the 1060-1080

"NVIDIA additionally created new gaming APIs to fully harness this performance. The newest API, NVN, was built specifically to bring lightweight, fast gaming to the masses."
You were asked if it made Switch more powerful than PS4. The above doesn't answer it. All you're doing is taking a fluff announcement from nVidia and inferring something from it that is not really there. It Tegra were out performing nVidia discrete GPU products, their GPU products would fold.

The fact that they use the same architecture is significant, but unless they are packing the same numbers of computational units on the silicone, using the same architecture is not the same as having the same performance. That's before you even start talking clock performance and memory bandwidth...or other types of hardware built onto the GPUs and APUs used in other systems.

My god, people think that the SDF (Sony Defence Force) is/was bad. Apparently they have nothing on the NDF...
