am I the only that thinks the OP makes no sense?
Hes pulling numbers out of his arse without explaining where he gets them from.

Somehow 471 gflops becomes 707 gflops.
but maybe it has extra cores and then with its gpu speed it could be 921 gflops!
but then no, thats to much, it wouldnt run full speed, so that 921 is actually just 710 gflops.


what?

Op doesnt explain anything.
I still think the most likely situation is the one Eurogamer gave us.
150 gflops (portable) and 397 gflops (docked).

They atleast explain why they believe its has 256 cores, and what speed those run at ect ect.

Op just pulls numbers outta his butt :p

Actually, you can know the core count of any chip, compared to another chip, by the weight asuming you know the core count of that second chip. But only if you put the chips on your head because thats the best part of the body to calculate differences in weight.

I was thinking the same thing, lol, the OP just randomly says its 384 or 512 Cuda cores, the leaker never said that. 

It's likely a 256 Cuda Core part (just as the Tegra X1 is), but hopefully die shrunk to 16nm which would allow if to be more power efficient. 

I think he is basing it on the part that sais " *A much powerful version, producing 2000x units for now *The core is 1x times bigger than the one above,200m㎡". Apparently some people think is a November 2016 devkit update. The source is just too confusing in its wording, so who knows how the OP and everyone else interprets it.

 

At the OP. You are lucky Pemalite is not here to kick your butt for your overreliance on Terraflops to measure performance.

I know Traktor over at NeoGaf brought up a great point of this much larger devkit fitting the role of Nintendo's SCD patent perfectly. Whether we hear anymore information on if this is something they are actually pursuing is another thing all together, but it definitely brought up a lot of conversation concerning this leak.

The Foxconn worker also describes the core being much larger than the original Switch SoC and that it was a GPU core only. Which speculation started that because of the dimensions the leakers gives, it fits that of a gtx 1060 chip exactly! So it brought only more questions that if he got everything so accurate, what is the purpose of this new devkit that not only has the screen interface but the original Switch SOC, plus the much larger  gtx 1060 core... Maybe we will hear something from Nintendo down the road or maybe they are just testing ideas, not sure at this point.
