They also announced Scorpio, which will be north of 6 TFlops, which when you include architecture improvements and a better CPU, means it will likely be about 5x as powerful as the current Xbox One.
Of course it won't be out until fall 2017, and likely will cost a good bit more (499-599), but it will be capable of some lower level but decent 4k gaming in select titles. Also this would be the model you want if you plan to hook up a VR helmet like Rift to it. Also at 1080p, it will chew through games. No idea if they'll support 120hz, but rock solid 1080/60 will be possible except for the absolute worst game devs (i.e. their problem not the hardware).
It also, unless Sony changes their plans, about 40-50 percent more powerful than the Sony's Neo coming out at about 4.1 Tflops.
Of course AMD's TFlops tend not to be as powerful as Nvidia's TFlops, so Neo is probably about the power of a GTX 970, and the Scorpio is easily a notch better than say a GTX 980. Probably something between a 980 and 980ti. The Neo is supposedly a downclocked AMD RX480 which is their new budget card which will launch on PC for $199 for the 4GB and although unannounced, probably $30-50 more for the 8GB version.
Also for comparison Nvidia just launched their GTX 1070 and 1080 for ($379-449) and ($599-679). These are the small board versions and even the 1070 can beat the 980ti and Titan X which were the best single GPU cards on the market. 1080 beats those by about 30 percent. 1070 is about 6.45 TFlops and 1080 about 9 TFlops (more powerful than AMD equivalent) at stock speeds, which can be increased by overclocking them, so a good overclock will take these to above 7 TFlops and 10 TFLops. (which when compared to AMD would probably be the equivalent of 9 and 12 TFlops or so). So in essence an overclocked 1070 is probably about 50 percent more powerful than the Scorpio and an overclocked 1080 about double. Available now and not a year and half from now. Again these are the small cards, which are only using about 150-185 watts. So they'll easily be well past this by 30-50 percent on the top end by the time Scorpio launches.
Just good to put things in perspective so people know what they are getting. There could be some surprises to the upside for AMD due to the unknown benefits the Vega GPU (what Scorpio almost certainly will use) might bring to the table (i.e. maybe that 6 TFlops in Vega might be more efficient than say 7 TFlops in their current generation). We'll just have to see.
If Nintendo NX really is only between a regular Xbox One and PS4, they're in trouble again.
Exciting times. Scorpio and Neo truly are what the X1 and PS4 should've been in the first place, it just would of been way too expensive then though. Now they can do it.
