Same doubts regarding SOC size. If anything the One's SOC itself should be a smidgen smaller than the one on the PS4, with an extra ESRAM chip to settle (it's still a multi-chip module like the 360,...

If anything, I'm loving the really nicely done modelling/materials work on the teaser. The models are as perfect as they go for realtime renders. Crazy.

My two cents on the new AMD chips (Mars-384 and Bonnaire)- they're primarily mobile-oriented designs, no?

Currently 8500-8700M are served by Mars, 8830-70 by Cape Verde, and the rest shows as ?;...

That's probably not the main reasoning.
GK106 has been MIA for the better part of the quarter and none of the leaks seem to have even mentioned it. That's why the 670M is a Fermi and the 660M is a...

Hmm... chances of pushing a 1+Ghz 7950 1.5GB out there at $380-400, post-GTX680?

I doubt that an engineering sample would identify itself as that instead of the more cryptic positioning names (D14M/P-numberesque etc).

A bit surprised at the 549 pricetag, but 3GB is indeed a lot of GDDR5.

I do wonder though- if they could manage 450 for a 1.5GB version?
