but you could be right, we may not see smartphones as strong as the xbone next year but thats because of consumer demand and not because the tech isnt there and cheap. they were half the way in 2013, and the "new" tegra x1 should be realy close. the next gen of tegra will b stronger than the xbone...
Watch this in 1080p mode:
Compaire the graphics of both.... PS4 looks a million times better.
Tegra X1 uses 10-12 watts to do this
Its too much for a smart phone... it might even be too much for a tablet.... this chip will end up inside cars (more or less only).
There is more to this than just nvidia theortical compute power numbers.
Tegra X1 is no where near as powerfull as the Xbox One or PS4.
We will wont see a "smart phone" thats equal to a console within 5 years.. why? becasue theres no way to do it at 3-4watts.
If you made a Bigger Tegra X1,... maybe say = 30watts (heavly overclock it), and add in much faster ram (more power hungry).... you could come close, but it would probably still be weaker than the Xbox One (and it would require you to re-design the chip, bigger bus (to use better ram) => more power used).
the X1 is used in the shield console. and thats close to the xbox one...
From what I understand the shield console is actually 512 gflops
