Considering a Geforce 1050Ti can beat a Radeon R9 380, where the R9 380 is already twice as fast as the Playstation 4's Radeon 7850-level GPU... Orin with 1024 Cuda cores and 100GB/s of bandwidth would decimate the Playstation 4... And even the Playstation 4 Pro.

As Orin not only has more CUDA cores than a 1050Ti Pascal, but it's more efficient -and- can clock higher.

Raw numbers isn't what we should ever base hardware performance on, because there has been massive strides in efficiency in the last decade.

While the comparison with the PS4 Pro was in raw performance, the one of the 7790 was not. Compared to the 3050 in the Techpowerup list, which shares the same GPU architecture, has almost 5 times the performance (484% to be exact) of the Orin NX 16GB. This is mostly due to having 60% less GPU cores and 40% lower clock speeds, but possibly also from having less than half the bandwidth, of which the CPU takes also a chunk.

Black-and-white paper specs doesn't tell the entire story.

Ampere is in a completely different league to Bonaire in terms of efficiency.

I would be questioning the 3050's 5x performance increase over the Orin NX 16GB, especially as they both don't share the same OS/Software stack so the comparisons aren't like-for-like... For example nVidia spends millions every year developing it's driver stack to optimize performance and efficiency in Windows, that same effort isn't put into it's Android stack.

But in a console where you are working closer to the metal, it's also less important.
