It matchs up (from what I understand). 

20/5 = 4.

8 ALUs of 20 steam proccessors = 160

160 "cores" running 550mhz =  160 x 2 x 550 = 176,000 (176 Gflops)

Xbox 360 have 10 MB EDRAM (2005)

Wiiu have 36 MB EDRAM (2012)

Et you really think x360 > 240 GFLOPS and wiiu > 170 GFLOPS ? 

 

Take a moment,  and think about watts you say... Look to xenoblade... Everyone say 352 GFLOPS... Games look 352 gflop... 

So your saying why give a weaker console graphics, more cashe? and memory bandwidth?

I can understand that. But my reply is just maybe nintendo puts weight on differnt design philosophies than MS.

They make these machines based on what they need. Maybe some hardware engineer told them to give it alot of edram, because they would need it for a new mario game?

 

Also All flops arnt equal. Just like with the mhz of a cpu, a intel cpu at the same mhz is usually faster than the amd one.

It varies from architecture to architecture.

 

Everyone says 352 Gflops....... except the people that know that it is not that.

I explained to you why it cannot be 352.

320 cores doesnt work with VLIW5.

It just means alot of people are wrong.

 

And lastly..... theres more to being strong at graphics than just how many Flops of compute power a graphics card has.
