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. |
Likely a cut down version.
