Yes. I quoted what you wrote. Whether you meant it the way it read is another matter. For those that don't know I was merely stating that tessellation does necessarily mean micropolygon rendering....

There might be a latency penalty to the crossbar, but I doubt it was significant. I'd only expect low latency frame buffer memory to allow for smaller cache sizes not necessarily to improve...

In many cases tessellating to pixel sized triangles is overkill and not necessary to achieve the correct pixel color. That said GPUs are certainly not powerful enough or structured properly to...

I'm not sure why you think decoupling the ROPs was due to them not being efficient. Sometimes flexibility is an advantage as it allows for new configurations.

It's going to depend a lot on how big the piece of silicon is for the SoC. There's overhead to individual chips as they need pins and if there's not enough logic the pins or more likely pads dictate...

I wouldn't call the ESRAM a cache and I doubt MS is telling people to put the frame buffer in DDR3 unless you don't consider the G-buffer to be part of the frame buffer. On a forward renderer I...

This shouldn't be the case for AMD DX10 hardware especially if there's not a lot of data per vertex. High amplification cases should actually perform better. Synthetic tests have shown this though...

Switching wavefronts doesn't have a direct cycle cost. The cost is indirect via cache/memory contention.
