That Tegra X1 is a pretty powerful chip that no dev has made any game just for it and is playing PC ports with its current batch of games.

I have a feeling if it is this chip and not the X2 that Nintendo is using (I really do think it ill be the X2) it wont just be the normal version, but instead a custom more powerful one or one that will scale its clock speed when hooked up to a power source.

Tegra X1 has a processing power of 1 Tflops, which is a lot lower than PS4's 1.8 Tflops. FF VII Remake already looks like it is pushing the PS4 hardware. Even if overclocked it would be less than required. I don't know if Tegra X2 exists yet xD

Thats only at fp16 (half rate floating points) though. That is when its at 1 Tflops.

PS4 is 1.84 teraflops at FULL rate (fp32).

If you want to do a direct compairison you need to use the full rate floating point performance of the Tegra X1.

Which is 512 gflops.

 

ei. a Tegra X1 is less than 1/3 of a PS4 in graphics performance.

With it being Arm, and alot less powerfull graphically, you might not see some of the most demanding PS4 games, ever ported to the NX.

Unless the NX really sells well, it might not be worth the effort to port them if its too hard (differnt cpu, differnt gpu(&weaker),... could make things hard)
