So I was under the impression that the X1 chip was capable of 1TFlop ? How come the X2 is just 625 GFlop?

Or is this page just bonkers? http://www.anandtech.com/show/8811/nvidia-tegra-x1-preview/2

Well shit, looks like the NX is getting the downgrade. -_-

Nvidia reports FP16 performance, when they mention how strong their Tegra X1 is... why? cuz big numbers fool people.

Sony & MS 's consoles are useing FP32 (twice as demanding) (16 x 2 = 32). Also known as half or full floating points.

Thats why Tegra X1 is 1tflop fp16, but only 500 Gflops when you meassure it the same way as the PS4 or XB1.

 

Does that answear your question? in a head to head compairison it looks like this:

FP32 the tegra X1 is just 500 Gflops (0.5  teraflops).

FP32 the PS4 is 1840 Gflops (1.84 teraflops).

 

The tegra X1 is 512 Gflops(fp32)

The tegra X2 is 625 Gflops (fp32)

So its a upgrade, just not a gigantic one.

 

Basically 1/3 the power of the PS4.

If your generious and say flops arnt all equal, you can probably give it a 10-15% boost or so.

Point still stands, its closer to 1/3 than 1/2, of the power.

That is assumeing they dont make a custom chip, or throw 2 of these chips into it or some such.
