As a mobile game developer, I am super excited about the future of gaming on mobile after looking at the spec sheets for this chip and the new PowerVR series 6 GPUs. I am in constant amazement that my phone-shaped pocket computer is a more capable gaming device than my PC of less than tens years ago.

PowerVR series 6: 350 million ‘real’ polygons per second http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerVR#Series_6

Xbox 360: 500 million triangles per second http://hardware.teamxbox.com/articles/xbox/1144/The-Xbox-360...

I don't understand enough about the two systems to know if these figures are measuring the same thing. But if they are, the series 6 is getting pretty close.

Seems like the last time I looked up the GFLOPS on my PC GPU it came in as equal to the fastest supercomputer of 14 years ago.

Via a quick Google, some of the newer Radeon cards can push in excess of 2500GFLOPs.

And you can squeeze up to four of those into one box! (that's going to need a pretty hefty power supply)
