If you are comparing raw number crunching as comptuing power it's actually more like 18.75 times since that's what you get for single precision floating points if you compare with the $1000 Titan... I wonder if they are comparing double precision? FP64? The Titan is definitely better at general tasks, but could it make up for the discrepancy? Who knows.

So in the end you have either an article comparing a $1000 GPU with an 8-year old $200 Console or some layman journalist is buying into Nvidia's latest jam at consoles...

I think we just talking GPU capabilties here.

If we were to combine CPU, RAM, etc. then yes.

The current graphics race reminds me of virtuoso guitar players in heavy metal the late 80s early 90s.

Every band had a virtuoso guitar player that played faster and better than the last one. Too bad the public stopped giving a shit and moved on to Grunge, Hip Hop and Backstreet boys.

Same will happen to "graphics powah" and video games. Few hardcore will remain and discuss the matter on forums but majority won't really give a crap.

I can see that happening.  But probably not for another 5-10 years.

cellphones and tablets have as much if not more power anymore. of course it has taken 7 years to get there.
