There's a very confusing sheet outlining all the hardware features for a console, and I've studied it. Here's what I know. Nintendo's original Switch concept used an SoC from AT Ericcson. This console was to support 3D video, and be backwards compatible with the 3DS seemingly.



The ST Switch would have 1 Gigabyte of RAM. It also would support 480p video on the Cameras! Additionally, it would possibly allow you to resume play from Sleep Mode by pressing a gesture, although this wasn't finalized, as the Sleep Mode section doesn't have an "OK" on it.







The CPU and exact SoC used here are not very clear, and I can only imagine the exact setup was more custom than just off the shelf stuff. Some files refer to the ST 8680, which uses ARM A15, not exactly powerful. The datasheet I looked in mentioned an ARM A53, also not powerful.
