NVIDIA has insisted that upcoming mobile devices will be more powerful than the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, Digital Spy said.

The graphics-card maker's senior VP of content and technology Tony Tamasi has claimed that tablets and smartphones packing its new Titan chips will outperform current-generation consoles.

Tamasi told bit-tech that its upcoming Titan processors offer around 4,500GFlops of graphic power, while the PS3 and Xbox 360 can only muster 200GFlops.

"The PS3 and Xbox 360 are barely more powerful than mobile devices... The next click of mobile phones will outperform [them]," said Tamasi.

Sony's upcoming PlayStation 4 console offers around 1,800GFlops of graphic processing power, but mobile devices housing cutting-edge hardware are held back by other limitations, such as battery constraints.

NVIDIA will release its portable gaming console Project Shield, an Android device powered by a Tegra 4 chip, later this year.
