Comparisons between phones and tablets and a games consoles are potentially hugely invalid and terribly myopic.
Consoles have to be able to run the equivalent of a power virus on both the CPU and GPU simultaneously without throttling or overheating (if you don't believe me look at the Hot Chips presentation on the 360S). And a toy maker can't have a handheld become red hot or even "really really warm".
NX isn't tuned to run a damn android benchmark once with minimal throttling, it's built to take years of abuse from hour after hour of platform specific, hand tuned code without ever deviating from its performance profile.
And so you think the "toy" must scale back to half the CPU clocks and 1/3rd the GPU clocks to meet "toy" demands, compared to tablet/consumer version of what is rumored to be the same chip?
If this was remotely true, the PS4 Pro should have a 500MHz GPU.
