I was wondering whether there was an FPGA onboard for emulation, but I couldn't find any mention in the tech specs [1]. I do think there's a typo since there seem to be two models but they are labelled exactly the same as far as I can see. Weird.

Also weird/wonderful that this is a handheld device featuring (at the high end, and let me guess it's thermally throttled) a GPU capable of 8.6 TFLOPS while the system consumes no more than 30 W. That is more than the 2001 US supercomputer "ASCI White" [2] did, which at most reached 7.2 TFLOPS. It was housed in 200 cabinets weighing a total of 106 tons, and consuming 3 MW.

None of the headline consoles have FPGA implementations (at least publicly available).
