Next-gen NVidia Tegra 5 will outperform PS3, Xbox 360

Gaming consoles are still one of the best mediums to play graphic intensive games. Currently, mobile devices lag behind in this category but according to Nvidia, its next generation mobile processor will outperform the PS3 and Xbox 360.

“The PS3 and Xbox 360 are barely more powerful than mobile devices… The next click of mobile phones will outperform [them],” said Tony Tamasi, Senior Vice President of Content & Technology for Nvidia. The next click of mobile phones that Tamasi is referring to are those that will sport the successor to the Tegra 4. It could be the Tegra 5 (codenamed Logan) or the Tegra 6 (codenamed Parker).

In comparison, Sony’s PS3 and Microsoft’s Xbox 360 have 200 giga FLOPS (Floating-point Operations Per Second) of processing power. The Tegra 3 runs at 12 GFLOPS while the Tegra 4, which is now being used in Project Shield, is capable of 80 GFLops. Tegra’s huge leap in GPU prowess is remarkable but still no match if pitted against the PS4’s 1.8 tera FLOPS. The only weapon Nvidia currently has in its arsenal that can crush the PS4’s performance is the Titan PC graphics card at 4.5 tera FLOPS.

On a personal note, I think Nvidia should do a Tony Stark and miniaturize the Titan and cram it inside a smartphone or a tablet.

    I was hoping NVidia would be saying better than PS4 and XBOX”720″ and not just the current PS3/XBOX360. Though PS4 and the next-gen xbox will be coming in with AMD/ATI chipsets, most of the consumers will not care at all if Nvidia will come up with a “faster/stronger” chipset – what matters is that the consumers can play their games (well, too bad since both manufacturers skipped getting Nvidia for their chipsets).

    Not really surprising, considering how long those consoles have been around. That said, mobile graphics chips will still be hampered by the memory speed in phones/tablets, so I don’t think they’ll beat the PS3 and Xbox 360 in actual performance. Not yet, anyway.
