Forums - Gaming - NVIDIA: Mobile graphics perfomance will reach 360's perfomance in 2014

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5762/nvidia-plots-mobile-soc-gpu-performance-surpassing-xbox-360-by-2014

Qualcomm was the first to tell us that it expects to offer console level GPU performance in the not too distant future, generally hinting that its Adreno 3xx GPUs would get us there. NVIDIA shared this slide (pictured above) with us today that gives its take on where PC, console and mobile GPU performance will land over the coming years. There's nothing too revolutionary here but it does provide an interesting visual for much of what the GPU vendors have been talking about for the past couple of years. 

The solid lines are estimated performance, while the dotted lines are trends. According to NVIDIA, somewhere in the 2013 - 2014 timeframe is when we'll get Xbox 360-class GPU performance out of mobile SoCs. The console line only has two points (Xbox 1 and Xbox 360), while the mobile line starts with the original iPhone, moves up to Tegra 2 and then follows Tegra 3.

Trad consoles will be in trouble very soon, the pads will get their dedicated controllers it's a no brainer.

To all the doubters, see the future and BELIEVE.

So...only 9 years (or more) behind? Teh tech!



Amazing isn't it?! I wonder how expensive these phones will be. :p



you know it is marketing bla when you look at the scale on the left side. 0.1 - 10 same distance like 100 - 1000. I also wonder why graphical performance of the same generation of consoles decreases over time.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

No shit, the system is old and outdated.

uhmm you can't read the graph^^  it's a good graph, you just can't think "100-1000 is 10x more than 1-100 but the gap is the same"

The scale is logarithmic. That kind of stuff is used all the time and makes perfect sense, especially when talking about technology


there is a reason I only passed statistics with a 4.0 in university.

Isn't Apple's A5X GPU and Samsung's Exynos Processor better performers than Tegra 3 and 4? I am sure I read somewhere that they were... don't know.

Anyway this is Nvidia's opinion. Other manufacturers like Samsung could be there sooner.

EDIT: beaten

As for the seccond point it doesn't, it's just a off screen picture taken at an angle.
