Qualcomm Snapdragon 800: Mobile Phone power overtakes PS360.

I really doubt it since the Snapdragon 800 isn't really significantly better than a Tegra 4, and the Tegra 4 delivers about 80 GFLOPS of raw GPU performance. Considering the unified shader architecture shouldn't really have changed in comparison with the X360 design, for instance, it still offers roughly a third of the performance of the GPUs inside the HD twins.

Of course you may argue the Snapdragon processor will run with better RAM and more efficient algorythms, but then again, your real life perfomance will go as far as your bottleneck. Yeah there's also MIPS and GT/s and whatever but I measured it with what I could find, and ARM manufactures and such are very shady with this kind of stuff before it does come out. This and the average per Watt efficiency we have on the 28nm process.

However in three years time you can most likely post this very same thread with no doubts at all.

If you mean by bottleneck the cpu, a Snapdragon 800 has a higher MIPS count than the 360's cpu. PS3's gpu delivers about 200 GFLOPS, so if like these benchmarks suggest Snapdragon 800 has doubled the nominal graphics performance you would likely be talking about 80-100 GFLOPS. Combine that with more algorythms etc. and it could really be faster. For example the A4-5000 delivers about 128gflops.
