Where are these figures coming from?
I still don't buy this supposition that all shaders in all console games are written that close to the metal. Wouldn't the vast majority of developers outside of first party marquee titles still use HLSL (or whatever high level shader languag the API offers)?
I have no idea. The most likely figures put WiiU's CPU at 14 GFLOPs and The 8-core Jaguars at 102 -- for a factor of ~7.
I was guessing at the Wii U CPU figures. Guess it was a lot lower than I thought. Orbis has 4 specialized(each have an additional ALU) CU's reserved for compute(410gflops), as well as the Jaguar CPU measuring in at 102gflops. Meaning Orbis has a total of 512 gflops for compute. This would make it a factor of 36.5.
