No. Maxwell has double-rate FP16. So it's not ever going to have 1 Teraflop of performance. It will have 786 and 314Gflop FP16 respectively.
Just remember that FP16 cannot be used for everything either, because of it's reduced precision there is a quality penalty in rendering some elements.

I was talking about the stock clocked chip, and yes FP16 is not optimal for everything.
I feel that with this SoC we will see greater performance from their games after the 1 - 2 year mark.
