That Nvidia coolaid :p
The Tegra X1 uses like 30watts of power to reach those 512 Gflops its able to do in the shield console.
Without powering a screen or anything extra.
Hell a Hard disk drive is 4-5watts alone, and PS4 & XB1 use those.
Even if Nvidia tried to do a 1teraflop Mobile chip, it would still be in the 50+watt range.
You make it sound like the Chips inside the PS4 & XB1 are bad, and their really not.
Not at the power levels of graphics they do.

This chart is useing old review scores, but AMD drivers for the 470/480 have done alot since it released.
And look at that the most effecient GPU chip at 1920x1080 resolutions is a RX 470!

I think you may have copied the wrong chart.

omg thats..... embarrassing >_>
I swore I hit the performance pr watts part... lol.
Im gonna end up looking like a arse.
Right Chart:

Yeah RX470/480 arnt at the top of the list.
Will say this though; the launch drivers for the RX470/80 wherent the best optimised, newer drivers have seen some pretty decent gains.
Its something nvidia is usually good about, optimiseing drivers for launch so their cards revew well day1.
