I think without seeing the full system specs it is hard to tell, however going by the Tegra X1 or X2 and it being apparently powerful I would say it may possibly have power close to that of the X1 as the Wii U was actually pretty capable and was somewhere between the 360 and X1 in terms of graphics.
I look forward to it. Nintendo always being inovative or gimmicky as some would say. Glad they didn't go the VR route though.

The first thing to know about the new Nintendo Switch home gaming system: it’s really fun to play. With great graphics, loads of game titles and incredible performance, the Nintendo Switch will provide people with many hours of engaging and interactive gaming entertainment.
But creating a device so fun required some serious engineering. The development encompassed 500 man-years of effort across every facet of creating a new gaming platform: algorithms, computer architecture, system design, system software, APIs, game engines and peripherals. They all had to be rethought and redesigned for Nintendo to deliver the best experience for gamers, whether they’re in the living room or on the move.

So it sounds like when you take the tablet out of the dock for mobile gaming it scales back the graphics a bit
Also wonder what the battery life will be like.
