It'll be another generation of mobile chips (about a year or two) before mobile chips are comparable with current gen console power. They may have more modern feature sets (I doubt you'll be seeing many of those features utilised in mobiles), but in power terms the Galaxy S4 only has a 51.4 GFlops GPU. That's around a quarter of the PS3. Even the newly announced Tegra 4 has a max output of 80 GFlops. And I'm not sure what 28nm has to do with anything but chip efficiency and manufacturing costs. If they wanted to, they could decrease manufacturing of current gen console chips to 28nm. They're currently at 40nm anyway so it's on the cards for that to happen before the next round of price drops. |
Seeing that the mobile market is worth more than the console market, this will drive innovation and has been doing so for sometime, hence why I say it won't be long until phones do surpass current consoles. Also I mentioned transistors simply to show that phones are using more modern techniques and will do so due to the quick developoment cycle they have compared to a console.
