My point is, mobile devices will probably always stay one gen behind to compensate the power usage.

More like two gens behind. Even with a smaller screen resolution phones have to stay within 2 watts aggressively. Tegra K1 is gonna be a fail once it releases cause that advertised power draw of 5 watts is more like 20 watts LMFAO.

They are pretty close to PS360 right now, I think one gen behind is likely. But power consumption is really the key. Tegra K1 would be 20w? God, and NVidia itself said that 10w woud be the maximum for a tablet (phones at 5w). Anyway, Tegra SoCs are already a failure. Tegra 2 was used everywhere, but Tegra 3 simply wasn't that popular because of the lack of 4G support while Qualcomm got all the market with their Snapdragon with 4G (and the dual-core Snapdragons actually outperformed the quad-core Tegra 3). Tegra 3 only wasn't a total failure because they got in on the Nexus 7 and that sold a good 10M units.
But their lack of competency was blatant when Google ditched then in the Nexus 7 2013 because they weren't capable of delivering a 4G Tegra and Google simply couldn't tolerate that (even Nexus 7 2012 was criticized by it's lack of 4G, but that was new at that time. A 2013 3G only tablet would be panned). Tegra 4? Nobody cared. They had to release a Tegra 4i with 4G, but it was to late. And in the end, Tegra K1 still underdelivers in that aspect. Qualcomm is running circles around NVidia withotu even putting an effort.

Wide Grin,
check it out its quite a bit closer...
Mali-T720
The new Mali-T720, which can be used with ARM’s current Cortex-A7 and A12 cores as well as the upcoming 64-bit Cortex-A53 core, can run at a maximum clock speed of 600MHz and has a peak performance of 81.6 GLOPS with a pixel fillrate of 4.8 Gpix/sec. To put those numbers into some context, the Mali-400 MP configuration found in the Exynos 4412 peaks at 19.2 GFLOPS and a has theoretical pixel fillrate of 1.6 Gpix/sec.

there ya go/ wink
Mali-T760
At the other end of the scale, ARM has released details of the Mali-T760 which now becomes its de-facto flagship GPU. The new device scales up to 16 shader cores (giving 326 GFLOPs) while boasting a 400% increase in energy efficiency over the ARM Mali-T604.
"At 600MHz with 16 shaders the Mali-T760 has a peak performance of 326.4 GLOPS and a pixel fillrate of 9.6 Gpix/sec. That should make the Mali-T720 the fastest mobile GPU available!"
xbox360's fill rate:
Maximum pixel fillrate:
16 gigasamples per second fillrate using 4X multisample anti aliasing (MSAA)
32 gigasamples using
Z-only operation;
4 gigapixels per second without MSAA
(8 ROPs × 500 MHz)
