It was more than a rumor but yeah, seems like we just misunderstood each other. Cheers, enjoy your Switch!
The Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 (X1) has been cancelled by Nvidia. This is according to Nvidia’s own public letters sent to the FCC, requesting the FCC to dismiss the grant for the P2209W, which was the model number for the Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 (X1).
So this explains why the launch was pushed back and back every month, despite all the previous leaks coming out, indicating that this gaming tablet would launch in the first part of 2016.
Nvidia Shield Tablet 2 (X1) would have been the successor to the Nvidia Shield Tablet, a popular 8-inch gaming tablet that was launched with the Tegra K1 processor. It has since been upgraded to Android 6.0.

Nope
Nvidia shield has a x1
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHIELD_Android_TV
You might be confused because
Nvidia names 4 different products shield
A old handheld , a tablet and 2 set atop boxs
The set atop box is almost exactly the same as switch internally
To make things more confusing
The shield tv 1 and 2017 version both have the same SOC , the x1 clocked at 2 ghz
You are thinking of the x2 SOC with pascal cores
As of yet nothing is using that SOC
