I really think that the slide has been misinterpreted. The doubling of "performance density" is performance for a given size. So if it is double the performance density and half the size then it is the same performance in a smaller package with no performance increase.

At the conference the CEO definitely made it sound like it's 290x performance at half the wattage. Which again makes it essentially a GTX970. If they can price it way cheaper & in that form factor, it will be a nice card though.

It'll be nowhere near the performance of the 290X.

I agree, because AMD got console deals thanks to design which delivered all that within required limits.
Maybe Zen APUs can deliver double performance per watt than PS4 chip. but still, it is better to stay at PS4 chips for sake of one market. Splitting it again by another console would break very reason why consoles are made.
Relatively cheap & unified.
