This list is probably a bit inaccurate in some spots, but here I go. Here's a list of some technology I know of that's about equal to in power or stronger than a PS4 and an Xbox one. No pro models included. using TFLOPs as a reference even if they're inaccurate because they're simple to understand. PS4 specs below

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Any Apple product using the M1 or better chip (Iphones, Ipads, Macbooks, Mac Mini, Vision Pro, etc)

ROG Ally

A Nintendo Switch 2

A PS5 and Xbox Series X/S (no shit)

Oculus Quest 3

Most other flagship smartphones running a >2021 Snapdragon 8 chip (Samsung Galaxy, Sony Xperia, Xiaomi 15, etc)

A below average Steam Survey gaming PC (using a GTX 1060 as a reference)

We've come a long way haven't we? Feel free to add some extra tech as well.

Quest 3? O wait it has to churn through more frames X 2 eyes.

edit- Makes me wonder if Nintendo could just release a pair of VR goggles cheap the Switch 2 could have enough power to handle all the Quest 3 library.

Eh... TFLOPS is okay but really blown out of proportion for performance. Reminds me of the bit wars where more was always used as a way to prove power but a 32bit GBA has nowhere near the power of a PS1.

when it comes to anything mobile like the ROG Ally, you can't use maximum theoretical clock speeds.

also the ROG Ally is RDNA3, and RDNA3 uses a form of dual issue FP32 that's entirely usless outside of EXTREMELY narrow use cases, so you can basically cut that theoretical 8 tflops in half... and then also cut that in half again if you want realistic clock speeds lol

that's fair, i also felt the 8 tflops projection seemed a bit sketch considering its realistic performance compared to the steam deck... however, even if we were to divide that tflop number by 3 it'd still be higher than the ps4's throughput (and also seems to match up with real world performance) so it can stay on the list

yeah, it's more powerful than the PS4 for sure... but not by much.
