Actually doesn't but they're quite close.
GTX 950 is based off the GM206 GPU, it has 768 shaders, 48 texture units, and 32 raster output processors; packaged with 2gb of GDDR5 memory connected through a 128 bit bus. It runs at a baseclock of 1024mhz and will hit 1188mhz on turbo. This works out to 1824 gflops of FP32 performance.
GTX 1050 is based off the GP107 GPU, it has 640 shaders, 40 texture units, and 32 raster output processors; again packaged with 2gb of GDDR5 memory connected through a 128 bit bus. But it runs at a baseclock of 1354mhz and will hit 1455mhz on turbo. This gives 1862 gflops of FP32 performance.
While comparing gflop to gflop is not a good way to compare different architectures, the relative similarities of Maxwell and Pascal make direct comparisons feasible. I should note that due to a longer pipeline that mispredictions and misretrievals have long penalties in Pascal, lowering overall IPC. This is offset with the superior clockrate that non-planar transistor's superior electrostatics allow.
