Xavier is specifically designed for deep machine learning, so most of it's power would get lost in a gaming scenario unless you work very long to get the power out of the machine, similar to the Cell in the PS3. This would make porting games potentially a nightmare to realize as the power is there in theory, but unlocking it would need druidic knowledge of it's inner workings.

So was the X1. (That was the point)

no honey it’s not similar to cell Lol. It’s an arm processor.

Tegra processor never took off after tegra 3. It started flopping because industry started adopting Qualcomm for mobile (thanks Samsuang)

from X1 onwards all tegra chips were used for AI. Xavier is no different from the switch soc right now. 

People comparing Flops when Xavier is far and away more advanced than anything we have right now. Even if raw computing power won’t match the PS5, games should look comparable regardless.

It's heavily modified, just the base instructions are still ARM based. Carmel, the CPU part, is so heavily modified it doesn't even count as an ARM v8 variant anymore, unlike the Denver and Denver 2 cores that preceded it.

X1 got used for AI, but was not specifically designed for like Xavier did. Hence why most of it is useless in a gaming scenario unless you delve deep into it's workings to unlock it's power. And in that regard, it would be similar to how complicated it was for game developers to get much out of Cell.

Oh, and Xavier's power only matches XBO, nothing near PS5 levels
