Xbox Helix Reportedly Hits 56 TFLOPS, 40% Ahead of PS6 as Both Chips Said to Be Taped Out

Leaker Kepler_L2 reports that chips for PlayStation 6 and Xbox Project Helix have taped out. According to the NeoGAF forum posts, Xbox Helix is expected to reach 56 TFLOPS, while PS6 is estimated at 40 TFLOPS, placing Microsoft roughly 40% ahead on paper. Kepler dismissed claims of PS6 hitting 80 TFLOPS, noting that TFLOPS measures FMA throughput and should not be normalized across different architectures. These figures represent peak throughput for the upcoming gaming hardware.
