Yeah. Doubt two of the chips could beat the Xbox One.

I don't know, Tegra X1 is 512 gflops so I'd guess Tegra X2 is around 800 gflops. Two Tegra X2's working together should match or exceed XB1. This of course all assumes that Nintendo is using Nvidia, which I'm still doubtful about.

Except there is more to a games performance and image quality than flops.

Tegra is likely to be constrained by a very limited memory configuration, minimal caches, likely inferior geometric performance, certainly less texturing power.

Can't forget that adding additional GPU's in a "SLI/Multi-GPU" configuration doesn't scale lineraly, there is inefficiencies.
