Switch's SoC can't be overclocked (like non-K Intel CPUs).
(Reswitch
The shield runs at a higher clock right? The Switch housing may not be able to handle the heat.
From what I understand, most if not all apps on the shield don't use it's full potential of is CPU. Most apps, or maybe all of them might run just fine. What are the clock differences between the Shield TV and Nintendo Switch?

its the double diference lol

shield has quadcore running 2ghz
switch has the quadcore running 1ghz

its preety damn change.

Yes, but then again, you have smartphones with 2 cores on like 1.2ghz. Clock speed is not the problem here.
for what people want the switch to do it is, emulators are all cpu sided that is why people see gc emulator running on shiled and say it has to be possible on the switch, which might not be the case since i dont see a gc emulator running fullspeed on a quadcore 1ghz cpu, heck even n64 and ps1 will be right on the mark.

Ps1 runs on vita (444mhz). Its just about optimizing it.

hmm no, ps1 and psp have the same architeture cpu and vita has a mips processor inside so its not fully emulation either psp or ps1, so you can run it without doing much emulation, that is the reason ps1 runs so well, using same architeture basicaly cuts you alot of processing power to convert every call into a diferent architeture, for instance switch being arm can probably run ds and 3ds so much easier than for instance ps4 could becuase of same architeture, you gain a huge advantage on same type architeture for emulators.

But vita doesn't.

Ahh. Ok, so its like ds on 3ds or gba on ds?

yup every portable console is ARM so they can easily just do some Fw and some small emulation tidbits on some minor stuff and make games run.

psvita does have a psp cpu inside, and psp cpu is the same but faster cpu used on ps1 architeture so yeah vita can run psp and ps1 using this new cpu with a fw for the games and some minor things emulated.

basicaly think nintendont on wiiu, uses wiu cpu wich is the exact same architeture than wii and gc and runs gc, its much easier when you have the same cpu inside and just emulate the rest of the minor components.

its basicaly mix of native and emulation, not needing full emulation power.

ps2 had a ps1 cpu inside aswhell to run ps1 games incase you didnt knew.

PSP and N64 both have MIPS processors, and look how Daedalus X64 endeed.
thats because the problem with n64 is not the cpu but the gpu, up to this days we still dont have a definitive graphics plugin even on pc, n64 emuation is badly optimized and full of ahcks and needs several diferent gfx pluggins for diferent games.

and for all its worth its incredible psp could run n64 like it did considering the piss por graphic plugins we have that are still full of bugs and everything but optimized.

that's why it is called that way: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_big.LITTLE
But maybe, someone can figure out hot make them all run at the same time. But overheating and power consumption would be the problem then.
See at least you get it the hardware in the switch can not run it do to limits in it's own hardware but there's hybrids that can work only cause they are closer to linux .

Please use punctuation. I have no idea where which sentence ends and starts :D .
Also what do you mean by those "hybrids"?

For one .Screw punctuations on open forums .For two bud on the first page I posted a link to a boot anywhere Android Linux hybrid for 64 bit Android 6.0 . That already has some drivers that'll work I've given hints to all of you .
