What do these field mean showing china and the US?

Depends on what they want. 

Honestly the next-cycle PowerVR Apple iPhone/iPad GPUs could possibly outpace the X1. 

I think they'll more or less be on par with X1, just like current are on par with K1 (remarkable feat from nVidia, given that PowerVRs are on smaller node).

Of course, it's completely possible they go berserk and make 0.5TFLOPS handheld and 5TFLOPS home console, thus making more or less unified in-house dev platform AND 3rd party friendly home console...actually, I would love to see how that would play out.



And who cares about the Nvidia Shield Portable?

THe specs look nice, but as we are observing with the PS Vita, without good PORTABLE gaming software, it's pretty much DOA.



Compute performance:
Tegra x1: 512(FP32) FLOPS (THIS IS BOTH CPU + GPU).
PS4: 1.84 TFLOPS (THIS IS GPU ONLY, I think?).

1840 / 512 = ~3.6 times more compute power in the PS4 GPU than in the X1 CPU+GPU.
Factor out the CPU part, and its probably around 4 times as powerfull GPU wise (ps4 vs X1).

Memory Bandwidth:
25.6 GB/s vs 176 GB/s = ~7 times more bandwidth.


Nvidia tegra X1  =   ~1/4th the power of the PS4 GPU,  ~1/7th of the memory bandwidth the PS4 has.

Its not really close to the Xb1 and PS4 as far as performance goes.

 

Heck I bet even the CPU inside the PS4/XB1 beats the ARM cpus in the X1 by atleast x2.

 


People are makeing this 10w+ chip (too much for a phone), out to be something its not.
Insane HYPE levels in this thread lol.

You cannot have a smart phone use 10-15watts of power.

 

We wont see a smart phone thats as strong as a ps4 or xbox1 anytime soon.

THose people saying that are just blowing smoke up peoples a**'s.

Nobody thought it was close to PS4 levels, most people here have been saying it's something relatively close to 360/PS3/WiiU

re: zorg:

Your right though its around where the PS3 is, hard to tell which would be more powerfull.
The Nvidia Tegra X1 is probably compairable to a PS3 in terms of performance.

The graphics a PS3 is capable of putting up on a tv screen, a Tegra X1 could probably also do.

 

*edit I miss understood HoloDust. Sorry.  I thought you where talking about the xbox1, when you wherent.

LOL, obvisouly, nobody's comparing Tegra X1 with PS4 or XOne, but with PS360 and WiiU.

BTW, that 512GFLOPS number is GPU only, it's Maxwell, just like desktop 9xx cards, just 2SMs vs 16 in 980.



Didn't the shield just come out like a year and a half ago?

Ya, will be 2 years in July

Wii U has the eDRAM though at 32MB that's above 100GB/sec I believe. 

Though Nintendo already uses eDRAM on the 3DS (10MB in New 3DS though only at 30-50GB/sec apparently). 

Still if Nintendo can get a good chunk of fast eDRAM on their next handheld and AMD can give them a GPU on par or better than the X1 ... Wii U ports would be doable for sure.

After the mobile announcement I'm expecting a surprise from their next mobile console.
