So mobile graphics are indeed about to surpass the 360 and PS3. At this rate Microsoft and Sony will need to release successors to the PS4 and Xbox One by 2017 in order to stay ahead of mobile graphics.


The chances are good that by 2017 smartphones are more powerful than Xbone and PS4. However I dont think Sony and Microsoft have to worry just yet. Majority of the Android devices sold are not going to be 192 core GPU smartphones and developers will want their games to scale to midrange and low end devices in some cases. So games will never be designed utilize to full power of these devices as they have to run on 150 dollar Android phones too...


That's a bit unrealistic.  PS3 has an 8 or 9 year old GPU - which is just now being matched/passed by this Tegra K1 according to this announcement, which should be taken with a good pinch of salt.  Generally the processing power has increased at a good clip but memory bandwidth lags in mobile.

- Misleading core count marketing
- Meaningless graphs about DX levels over time (?)
- Still 28nm.................................................................................... 
- Unreal Engine 4 coming to Tegra and still not Wii U
- No better than 64-bit ARM core available today in the iPhone, except not available until 2H '14
- No announced design wins yet, not even for the car tech (I bet it will never be in a single retail car)


The DX levels over time was there to show how same tools and engines couldn't hit PC, Console and mobile last time around. However this time PC, consoles and mobile will be on the same level within a year of each other.

Not the most relevant of data but effective visuals...



wait, so UE4 runs on this but they claimed the WiiU can't handle it?

Height on that chart was arbitrary or meaningless.



They're saying UE4 is DX11.1 (while the Wii U has a DX11.0 GPU). It's not a significant difference between 11.0 and 11.1 so Wii U should be able to run everything.  There's a difference between capable of running, and it running well of course.

It depends how CPU dependant these engines are. The Wii U has the RAM. Its GPU "should" be capable, but the CPU seems to be a real issue, lowly clocked, and with a few cores. That aside there's the issue of financial incentive.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

I'm really looking forward to see what AMD has to offer.
Cloud servers is one of my bets



So much power just to play Angry Birds



Unreal Engine 4 runs on Wii U and Epic themselves have said that. Google it.

They just don't do it, because Nintendo.



Apple forced Nvidia's hand with this one.
