Google's Pixel C tablet uses a Tegra X1, that's a mobile device.

"At first glance it looks as though the computing heart of the Pixel C is identical to that of Nvidia Shield TV console, but there is a subtle difference. The Tegra X1 processor in the Pixel C has 'only' four ARM Cortex A57 cores, all of which can be clocked at a maximum of 1.9 GHz."

Everything inside the Pixel C, runs much slower than the Nvidia Shield TV X1.

It might not be as fast as the playstation 3 anymore.

Still theres a big jump from being about equal to a Playstation 3, to being more power than a Playstation 4.

I was never claiming they're more powerful than PS4, only that they have passed PS3, which technically they have.

The vanilla Tegra X1 in the Android TV has 512 Gigaflops of single precision floating point power in its GPU. That's much more than PS3, (enough to run some 720p or sub-HD PS3 games at 1080p) so there is plenty of room to trim without dropping below last gen consoles standards.

Also, apparently the Pixel C's GPU retains the 256 core-count of the Android TV version: http://www.androidcentral.com/pixel-c-specs

Pixel C also offers 3GB of RAM; 6 times as much as PS3 or 360.
