Look at her play on words.  Raw power/specs is different from performance.  Number of shaders, compute units etc is rthe aw power. Now the performance rating of polaris is double, so if NX is closer or even weaker on paper as Emily implies (being a "stretch") with the raw numbers, it will still out perform the older tech.  10-12 cu, 

Also  look at  how she mentions  the ps4k competitor part, but that is a 4+ tf  console. Its obvious Emily is arguing about Polaris 10, even though most people are talking about polaris 11.  The polaris 10 (5+ tf) is the ridiculous rumor IMO.

Nothing has changed really, other than her shooting down the super ambitoius PS4k competitor claims.  I am in supermetal64's Polaris 11 + arm camp unless proven otherwise.

I dunno at this point SMD64 sounds like he's invested so much into the Polaris thing that he won't let it go easily, like he admits the portable could use Nvidia Tegra, but the console will still use Polaris. That's not happening with a unified platform, if the portable is using Nvidia Tegra tech then it's a virtual lock the console is just an upscaled version of that.

Pay attention to her words that she is using very carefully lol she's fighting a mini strawman. Emily's main objection is NX being a competitor to PS4k,  which motivated her to reply, that much is very clear.  The only little thing she mentioned in passing about OG PS4, was the NX gpu being double PS4 "power"but again, it could be weaker on paper and still out perform with polaris 11.  Also the way she speaks against x86 makes it seem like Arm.  Not that huge a deal. So why can't it be nvidia + arm for the portable, and amd + arm for the home?  

Also the tegra is  really only 512 gflops, sincethe 1 tf rating is on a FP16 scale when consoles go by FP32, so it is a marketing ploy.  It would still be a great next gen portable, and its safe to assume Ninty would further clock that down so more around 350-400 gflops if they use that tegra x1 chip.
