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.

I dont exactly have it book marked.

But I remember everyone marveling about those PR slides, mentioning those 512 Gflops, and the 10watt power draw thingy.

Then I remember someone actually testing it, to show how impressive it was, and that they tested the power consumption of it.

Yes it was impressive for a mobile chip... but it was at 20+ watts.

Bascially what am trying to say is, those impressive benchmarks for the chip where done at 20watts, not at the 10watts shown on PR slides.

Thats why its used in cars & nvidia shield gameing tablets, its too power hungry for phones.

 

I ll try googleing for it.
