It was, as Jen put it, "CEO Math". He just took some specs and play around with the number. In reality it should have 2x perf/watt of Maxwell + 4x FP16 performance + 3x memory bandwidth of Maxwell. Tegra X1 was the first step towards stronger FP16 performance. Its built for deep neural networks that use FP16 more than FP32/FP64. Anandtech is speculating as well that GK110 might have been the last time we saw a big nVIDIA chip sharing Compute (FP64) and Graphic duties. From now on nVIDIA might make FP64 processors exclusively for Compute.
