| imparanoic said: I would presume snapdragon 855 or exynos 990 or the Kirin 990 would be close to Xbox One (original) than ps4, so i can not see a sub US$300 portable with the power of PS4 for at least 4-5 years. |
The iPad Pro will most likely beat the PS4 this year. The problem with comparing power is that different types of devices are strong at different things. So yeah raw throughput in the GPU won't equal the PS4 most likely, but the CPU of the iPad Pro is so powerful it would be easy to make better looking and faster running (focus on 60fps) games with it. And let's not even get started on SSD speed which is very important imo. I'd take the SSD running iPad Pro over current gen consoles anyday (one of the reasons I like the Switch).
The 1650 Super is almost exactly 3x times faster than the GPU in the PS4, so it would only take about 1280/3 = 427 turing CUDA cores to make the Switch equal a PS4. Those would have to run at 1.5 ghz however, so 7nm is key (or 512 shaders instead). 7 years of progress :)
