LOL next-gen consoles, I thought it's going to be 13tf-15tf according to the insider leaks

Teraflops isn't everything.

No, otherwise NVidia would get crushed by AMD already. It does tell the theoretical peak performance, but that's rarely achieved in Gaming, and far from it on AMDs current chips.

However, a console with 13-15TFlops in GCN performance was out of question from the get-go unless Navi would have become less consuming than Turing. And while Navi certainly bettered itself in that regard, it's still les powerful per watt then NVidias offerings.

For the record, I calculated the theoretical TFlops for the 5700 and the 5700XT and reached pretty exactly 7.5 TFlops and 9 TFlops respectively in gaming speed, so I'm sure they choose those clock speeds exactly for that reason. And considering the power consumption of either card, I think the 5700 (non-XT) is pretty much what will fuel the next gen consoles in one way or another.
