Digital Foundry tested Doom 3 BFG edition and found that it not only ran at 1080p on Tegra X1 vs 720p on PS3/360, but also ran smoother on the mobile chipset with no penalty to the graphics.

Note how they were using the "Shield Android TV" which is far bigger than smartphones and is more bulkier than tablets ...

It uses 10 watts and is actively fan cooled. It maybe a mobile chipset but it's hardly mobile in the sense where it matters most such as form factor, power consumption, cooling system, and it doesn't even have a battery! 

I would classify it as a microconsole instead ...

That's one (maybe the only so far) application for the Tegra X1, but nvidia still categorizes it as a mobile GPU for "mobile applications".

Though if we want to discount that, Adreno 430 has more juice than PS3/360 also, and that's used in mobile devices.
