What are the specs and what do they mean in normal english? |
the A6-5200 is a quad-core jaguar processor clocked at 2 ghz while the jaguar architecture CPU in the PS4 is clocked at 1.6 ghz and the CPU in the PS4 Pro is clocked at 2.1 Ghz. So, how does jaguar @ 2 ghz perform in single-threaded/single-core benchmarks?

And how about the 2 Ghz Cortex A57 quad-core set-up in the Tegra X1(the A53 cores are disabled when the A57s are running)?

What this means is even if we add 5% to account for the 100 mhz higher clock in the PS4 Pro, the highest score on the PS4 Pro CPU would likely be around 1219...which is 11% lower than the lowest score for the Cortex A57(in the shield tv).The X1 based Google Pixel C also reaches higher scores than Jaguar at PS4 Pro-like clock rates in a mobile device scenario(1444 vs 1161).

Unfortunately, can't seem to find scores for the A4-5100 APU which has jaguars clocked at 1.55 ghz which would almost exactly match the original PS4. We could expect about 80% of the performance though of the same core clocked at 2 Ghz when at 1.6 ghz which could yield an extrapolated result between 443 and 929 on the PS4 CPU. This suggests that the CPU in the Nintendo Switch is at least 13% faster(1055 vs 929) and probably more like 55% faster(1444 vs 929) than one of the cores in the vanilla PS4.
