The list is doing a disservice to the ROG Ally X and Switch 2 by not listing that they have VRR displays. On the flip side that 8.6TFLOPs for Ally X is a prime example of why using TFLOPS as a measuring stick is a bad idea. That's near PS5 performance but in actuality the ROG Ally X is not quite PS4 level.

Ally X is somewhat above PS4...at least in Turbo mode. 780M is quite descent RDNA3 GPU, so, on paper, smacks not just PS4, but can go toe to toe with Series S - thing is, it is starved by low memory bandwidth, so that potential performance stays there, on paper.

I know it's faster than the PS4 on paper but in real world performance that doesn't bear out. It's one of the coolest things about Strix Halo, it's 256bit memory bus allows it stretch it's legs

Geforce 5060 with 8GB is a colossal mistake... And shows nVidia has learned nothing.
Reserve the 6GB/8GB cards for a theoretical budget 5030 or 5040.

nVidia needed to go with a 96bit memory bus and have 12GB of memory at a minimum with 336GB/s of GDDR7 bandwidth, still more than the 4060Ti but on a narrower bus to keep costs low. (And make up for the larger memory pool.)

I guess we wait to see how AMD counters with the 9070GRE and 9060 lineup, I won't be surprised if they also release 8GB parts.

AMD is doing the same nonsense, which is ashame because based generational performace uplift of RDNA4 CUs, the 9060XT should be decent uplift over the 7600/7600XT with it's significantly higher base and boost clocks.
