Strongest Console Leaderboard in History

What is TeraFLOP?
​

Many gamers have at least once heard of TeraFLOP. So what is TeraFLOP and the machine Console Which has the largest TeraFLOP today. To find the answer, you must understand what FLOPS is. FLOPS is a measure of the maximum graphics potential of a console or computer. In addition to the FLOPS unit, there are gigaFLOP and teraFLOP units. One gigaflop equals 1 billion FLOPS and one teraFLOP equals 1 trillion FLOPS.

So how to calculate a teraFLOP?

The basic formula for calculating teraFLOPS for a GPU is: (GPU processing cores x MHz clock speed x 2) / 1,000,000.
​

The number 2 in the formula stems from the fact that the GPU architecture can deliver two operations per cycle. So Xbox One X newest of Microsoft If the formula is applied correctly, what will it be like? Integrated graphics of Xbox The One X has 768 parallel processing cores. The top speed of the GPU is 853MHz. When we multiply 768 by 853 and then multiply by 2 and divide by 1,000,000. We should get 1.31 teraFLOPS.

Is TeraFLOP completely accurate?

While teraFLOPS can provide a relatively good indicator of the performance of a PC/Console device, this unit of measure is not the most perfect. . TeraFLOPS only measures one segment of GPU performance. For example, AMD’s RX 480 graphics card delivers 5.8 teraFLOPS, but is actually slightly slower than Nvidia’s GTX 980, which delivers 4.6 teraFLOPS.

This metric does not take into account the computer/console’s video memory, which can clog the GPU’s computing power. It also doesn’t take into account CPU, RAM, storage speed, temperature, and power limits. All these factors reduce GPU performance. The technical factor has been explained, so now let’s find out which Console is the most powerful in the history of the world gaming industry.

14. Sega Dreamcast

Let’s start with the Dreamcast, because it was the first Console with an exact FLOPS number. SEGA’s Console was released on November 27, 1998, and featured an integrated 100MHz PowerVR2 GPU, allowing for 1.4 gigaflops of execution. Notable graphics titles: Jet Grind Radio, Soulcalibur, Shenmue, Shenmue II, Resident Evil Code: Veronica, Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future, Rez

13. Sony PlayStation 2

Released on March 4, 2000, Sony’s PlayStation 2 used a 150MHz graphics compositor that provided 6.2 gigaflops of performance, 4.6 times higher than the Dreamcast. Notable graphics titles: God of War, God of War II, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, Shadow of the Colossus, Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Gran Turismo 4, Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner, Jak 3.

twelfth. Nintendo GameCube

Released on September 14, 2001, the GameCube’s GPU Flipper allowed Nintendo’s console to reach 9.4 gigaflops, 1.5 times more powerful than competitor Sony’s PlayStation 2 released a year earlier. Notable graphics titles: Resident Evil 4, Star Fox Adventures, Star Wars Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader, Metroid Prime, Metroid Prime 2 Echoes, F-Zero GX, Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine , Super Smash Bros. Melee, Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

11. Nintendo Wii

Released five years after the GameCube on November 19, 2006, the Nintendo Wii uses ATI’s Hollywood GPU clocked at 243MHz. With the Wii, Nintendo came up with a new console gameplay concept with gameplay innovation instead of focusing on processing power. The Wii delivers 12 gigaflops, which is 1.27 times more powerful than its GameCube predecessor. In terms of FLOPS, this is the smallest jump between console generations on this list.

Notable graphics titles: Red Steel 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

10. Microsoft Xbox

Although released five years before the Wii was born, November 15, 2001 was the birthday of Microsoft’s first console. Microsoft Xbox is 1.6x more powerful than Nintendo’s Wii with Nvidia NV2A GPU. The graphics processing speed of this machine has been clocked at 233MHz, allowing Xbox to enter the top 10 with a figure of 20 gigaFLOPS. Notable graphics titles: Ninja Gaiden Black, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, Burnout Revenge, Doom 3, Dead or Alive Ultimate, Forza Motorsport, Chronicles of Riddick, Far Cry Instincts, Halo, Halo 2.

9. Sony PlayStation 3

Sony released the PlayStation 3 on November 11, 2006. With Nvidia RSX Reality Synthesizer graphics solution delivering 230.4 gigaFLOPS, 11.5 times more powerful than Xbox released 5 years earlier. Compared to its predecessor PS2, this machine is 37.1 times more powerful and represents the biggest leap of the console generation in graphics performance on this list. Games with notable graphics: God of War 3, Killzone 3, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, Uncharted 3, The Last of Us, Beyond: Two Souls.
