Matt Phillips (Ex-Crytek): Neither I nor anyone in my field has ever used "teraflop" as a unit of measurement of anything, it's meaningless

Since Teraflops are all the rage nowadays, very interesting to read a developer's perspective on it.

I mean blame Sony, Microsoft, Google, Nvidia, etc... for using them as buzz words not the people buying your products

Sorry Matt, it's all about the flops now. We don't even need games, we can just count how many flops each other has.

Probably because people in your field know more about what's going on than average person that plays games.

I thought so. Lightning fast GPUs don't mean shit if you don't have the staff to create all those gigabytes of high res art.

Strange when ps 4 and Xbox One launched any message board you went to we're filled with teraflops/ power % facts, wonder what has changed?

If the PS5 had more TeRaFlOPs, we'd see more threads about how Xbox is doomed or something. Instead, it's full on "damage control" for the past 24 hours.

I'll go back to play on my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X now.

I'd say it's justified with all the misinformation flying around. It's a response to that. And it's the result of lots of gamers just flat-out not listening to those saying there isn't a drastic power difference... including right here in this thread forum.

Well yeah but people want to feel like their choice of plastic box matters in the grand scheme of things.
