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) |
Exactly this people forget the marketing ploy by nvidia, using half precision FP when talking about X1 knowing damn well consoles go by single precision.
So for this to be consistent with Emily's reports, X1 would have to be a placeholder, and the NX delay was due to the new X2 chip not being ready, not to mention X2 would satisfy the "industry leading chips" quote. X1 is old now...
Not taking any of this as gospel but hopefully this pushes Nintendo to reveal NX ASAP.
