| curl-6 said: FLOPS are generally a shitty way of comparing performance across parts of different architectures and/or made years apart. It's like the Megahertz Myth back in the day where people used clockspeed in the same flawed way, even though a part with only half the Megahertz of another could outperform it in real world applications. In terms of raw FLOPS the Switch in portable mode is only like 60% as powerful as an Xbox 360, yet clearly that's not the case in actual performance. There is way, way more to console power than just FLOPS or GHz. |
Agree, that's why it's funny on how people trying to compare PC to console or AMD GPU to Nvidia directly. Actually i was on that position when predicting PS5 teraflop last few month but at that time we were having zero information on the Navi . Real world performance are required like benchmark or games and people who directly analyze like Digital foundry and other outlet are much more needed. Especially when the console are targeted at the same price performance and difficult to see the difference. I bet next Gen Digital foundry will be more important on ongoing console battle.
