So no, the PS3 CPU alone does not outperform the entire A80 boards.

Yes the PS3 GPU added in , yes, but this is about performance in how it can operate a year from now on mobile chips and their advancement is increasing fast enough that yes it will in short order even surpass the PS4 and Xbox one on a watt/performance scale yes, no doubt it would. It's not about "raw" performance. In AMD its always been about watt/performance on lower power ,Its based on Watt/performance under certain wattage for mobile's. Which the consoles & PC cannot compete with. Try a console power under 15 Watt's , how much performance could or would you expect? On that much power.

And in that case ARM is indeed correct.

Goal shifting? Neither ARM or Venture Beat in the OT nor anyone else in this thread were talking about performance per watt. Better raw performance than home consoles was the claim.

Read what he stated..again he talked about show "visuals" = & surpass consoles & PC's

Now again how is it goal shifting. These Single board chips can do visuals @ 1080P at voltages & performance in resolution that again, console like the PS4 or xbox one just could not compete @ ...the point is lower power/watt is the strong point ARM Holdings always concentrated on.

 

And what they pointed out is true. Could at that wattage games be made for Arm chips at such voltage show visuals = to the PS4 & Xbox one in a year from now?
