If that graphical power was coupled with a CPU half way capable of utilizing it, would blow the X out of the water in games like Assassins creed where you have cpu hungry scenes killing the X, stick a Ryzen 1600 in place of the Jaguar and you have a next generational Console instantly.

A Ryzen is rather expensive now, and a lot of people don't notice these differences now. Why would they then? 

 

A Ryzen 7 1700 costs about £200 to the consumer and is capable of doing this with 10% of its power (Overwatch, HD videos, browser)

Not to mention the fact that the chip runs at about 20w of power which doing this, the per core voltage of the chip is incredible which would mean less heat and less intrusive noisy cooling required than the absolute massive jet of heat now coming out the back of the X with the overclocked to within an inch of its life Jaguar

Look at those core voltages and it's pretty much just over room temp.

When they start to put these into consoles the "power" of the Jaguar will absolutely be shown up for what it is.

And aye like I said, to a consumer these cost a couple of hundred today, to a console manufacturer offering to buy 20million of them? think they wouldn't get a big discount on that? not to mention there are far less powerful/costly versions of the Ryzen which would still blow a jaguar out of the water without breaking a sweat.
