Nvidia is saying one Tegra Xavier chip at matches the Drive PX2, which is 2 Tegra X2s + 2 Pascal based GPUs (so 4 processors total) at 8 TFLOPS. 

Well, those Volta cores must be radically different then what GPUs have been packing for a long time - 512 cores with 2 operations per cycle for FP32 would need to run at insane clocks to achieve 8TFLOPS...as in 7500+ MHz insane.

For reference, made on similar, if not same 16nm proccess as advertised for Xavier, current nVidia tech needs 1920 cores running at 2000+ MHz for similar performance (overclocked GTX1070).

I think it's 4 TFLOP at FP32 (8 TF at FP16), I agree 8 TFLOPS would be insane.

Still 4 TFLOP performance from 20 watts would be very, very impressive. Nintendo could slash that even further in half and still get 2 TFLOP performance from a 10 watt chip. Current Switch runs at 15 watts docked.
