Alright, Digital Foundry has released the specs of the console, both docked and undocked. And whew.... Wow. Undocked this system takes quite a hit. This is almost 100% credible, Digital Foundry has never been wrong about leaks such as this.

So.
Amid all of this technical jargon, here is what you should know:
While docked, the Switch is approximately 2.5 times more powerful than the Switch undocked... Developers have the choice of having the undocked console run like its docked while plugged in.
Regarding power of the system itself:
Undocked the console is a little bit more powerful than the Wii U, but it will be more efficient and easier to port to than the Wii U.
Docked: the console is 2.5 times more powerful than the Wii U. Pushing the system's power to probably around 80% of that of the XBOne.
There are a lot of unknowns however. We do not know what special things Nintendo has added to the hardware, to make it more efficient. However, Third Parties seem extraordinarily happy with the console, despite this lack of power. But that is where we are at regarding this.
As a handheld, this is still extremely impressive, as a console. It is perhaps a little underwhelming. We will just have to see what happens this January when we see more games running on the console. And what sort of experiences third parties are bringing to the tables
EDIT:
In other news, Vulkan is fully supported on the Switch.

This means that DOOM 2016 will be able to run on the system. I know
@DoomDash will be very excited about this news if he wants to pick up the switch.
