Soundwave that link you provide just takes the numbers claimed by nvidia as fact.

The truth is the tegra X1 can run locked at 10watts.

BUT (this is the important part)

those 512 GFlops (or however much they claim it is), those are when its useing over 20watts of power.

If you lock it to 10watts, its performance drops alot.

Its all just marketing.

 

However it would still be a huge step up in terms of performance compaired to the 3DS & even the Vita.

Do you have a source for the 20 watt thing? Not that I'm doubting it, I think I may have read something similar but it's been a while since I gave the Tegra X1 much thought.
