If we can expect a reasonable jump from Tegra X1 (512 gflop), maybe a cutdown X2 for the portable could be around 700 gflops fixed (still not perform to full chip power even when docked). Then the NX dock will use the 2nd and full chip capability, and lets say a conservatvie 900gflps-1TF. Combined could be around PS4 level or comfortably ahead of XB1. I don't know how combined chips could work, if at all, but again the language used with connecting to a "brain" could mean getting NX help from a superior source. It'll be interesting to find out about the X2's specs regardless to see the gains made from 20nm to 16nm. |
No. Flops is simply silly in your comparison.
Tegra K1/X1 and it's derivatives could have 10 Teraflops of theoretical performance, it still will not beat a PS4.
| numberwang said: What do you think the NX handheld will have as a screen? My guess is a 720 with 3:2 or 15:9 (like the 3DS) form factor with 5inch or less, some people believe in 540p 16:9 or so. With that given a X1 is more than you need to drive those small displays. |
Going by Tegra's specs, 720P and lower will be the norm... Tegra doesn't have the fillrate or the bandwidth to drive higher resolutions.
| Barozi said: I see a huge problem when it comes to the games' sizes and portable gaming. This thing clearly won't have a 3.5" HDD and a 2.5" HDD sounds unlikely as well. So how the hell are you supposed to fit multiple digital games on that thing when you're on the go? Sounds like cartridges is the only way to go then. Unless you want to pay 350€ for a 512GB sd card. |
Mechanical Hard Drive's won't happen. They consume far to much energy, nsoisy and prone to failure in portable devices.
Nintendo will likely have MicroSD card support to expand internal storage, augmented by cartridge games.

I'm sure it'll have atleast 32GB internal which is enough to hold multiple Wii U games. |
That's a Wii U. If you haven't been paying attention... Games have started to balloon in size on almost every other platform. :P
| Mbolibombo said: I am so torn about this.. I really really like the concept, I think it is really really cool. Shared library is fantastic and so on. Low power though.. assuming it's 1Tflop it's about three times stronger than the Wii U an tons stronger than the 3DS. That's still enough for me to get it day one. |
Based on what? Teraflops? No.
nVidia stated the Tegra K1 was roughly 50% faster than the Xbox 360/Playstation 3.
But it had inferior fill rate and memory bandwidth amongst other things.
The Tegra X1 was 50% faster to double the performance of the K1 depending on situation... And unlike the K1 it had superior fillrate, geometry, bandwidth etc'.
That's what we can expect relative to last generation consoles.
