I think we also have to keep in mind that there is a high probability that the chip(s) going into the NX is/are most likely custom chips, so while the specs are interesting to look at, they most likely don't match exactly what will be in the NX. I can't wait until we get some official details of the darn thing! Another month or so...jeeeeeeeez

Yep 625 Gflops is the same number Ive read other places too.
Maybe the NX will have this when its docked and can use more power, than when its used as a handheld.

Still this means at most it ll be 1/3 of the PS4, in terms of power (when docked and not downclocked).

Pretty powerfull for a handheld. Not that great in terms of a home console.

I'm not a big tech guy. But others said they could put a second Tegra in the dock (overclocked in some form likely).

This is a relatively low cost and definitely low power solution. That is up Nintendo's ally for its solutions. This will allow Nintendo to keep a small portable form factor while delivering a game console that is capable of pushing the latest gaming tech.

This is not a far-fetched solution.

Kinda like when your SLI two GPUs? maybe.

That ll make the NX a b*tch to develope games for though, imo.

On the other hand it not being more powerfull could keep 3rd party away as well.

That would drive up the price of the docking station part though, and probably mean it wont be sold with the handheld.

So like a "199$ handheld NX" and "a 100$ docking station" thats sold seperatly ?

Nintendo said that it wanted to appeal both casuals and core gamers, not that they wanted to get PS4 ports.

They can appeal to "core gamers" by, given that they won't need to develop 2 versions of several games (as always, if they go hybrid), develop new IPs that can appeal to that market like Splatoon or Xenoblade do.

Yes, it has enough power to run games, but that doesn't mean that it's good at it or that it's what it was designed for.

There's a reason why Nvidia has improved the CPU side of the X2 so much compared to the graphics side, and also why they have only shown it in the Drive PX2 platform, that doesn't have to worry about power consumption or heat.
