A9X is some 2x A8X when it comes to GPU, which puts it at somewhat under 500 GFLOPS FP32 - which is still way off XOne's 1.3 TFLOPS...unless you were referring to nVidia Tegra X1, which is rated at 512 GFLOPS.

There is more to performance than floating point arithmatic.
A 2 Teraflop GPU could be slower than a 1 Teraflop GPU.

Keep in mind that Mobile GPU's tend to render games differently than console or PC GPU's, they tend to go with tiled-based approaches due to their efficiency and power consumption edge.

Yeah, aware of that - can't wait to see A9X vs Tegra X1, given how different their architectures are, so extrapolation might be somewhat easier.

Oh, and glad to see you again, it's been a while since I saw you posting.
