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.

Still won't be enough for the NX. Goodbye third party support. -_-

Sure it will, remember if the rumors are true than this is a successor to both 3DS AND Wii U. When combined those devices get a solid amount of 3rd party support from Japanese, indie & kid/family friendly games.

Lets take a look at 2015 for an example

Q1-Chariot, Citizens of Earth, Gunman Clive 2, SpongeBob HeroPants, Moon Chronicles, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy+, IronFall: Invasion, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, OlliOlli, Proun+, Trine: Enchanted Edition, Lego Ninjago: Shadow of the Ronin, Story or Seasons

Q2-Etrian Mystery Dungeon, Affordable Space Adventures, A-Train: City Simulator, Karous, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 Recors Breaker, Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains, Swords & Soldiers II, Don't Starve: Giant Edition, Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven, Adventures of Pip, Lego Jurassic World, Samurai Warrior Chronicles 3

Q3-The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Badland: GOTY Edition, Xeodrifter, Freedom Planet, Etrian Odyssey II Untold: The Fafnir Knight, Brave Tank Hero, Garfield Kart, Paddington: Adventures in London, Little Battlers Experience, Disney Infinity 3.0, Hatsune Miku: Project Mira DX, Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson, Year Walk, Skylanders: SuperChargers, Lego Dimensions, Runbow

Q4-The Legend of Legacy, Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden, Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, Guitar Hero Live, Just Dance 2016, Adventure Time: Finn & Jake Investigations, Human Resource Machine, Octodad: Deadliest Catch, Snoopy's Grand Adventure, Yo-Kai Watch, Rodea: The Sky Soldier, Stella Glow, Kung-Fu Panda: Showdown of the Legendary Legends, SteamWorld Heist, Terraria, Minecraft, FAST Racing Neo, The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures

I know that not the world's greatest list of 3rd party games but with a unified/hybrid device than we are looking at easily over 100 3rd party games per year.
