Sweetvar also mentions his friend's lack of interest/knowledge in gaming, so his perspective about the hardware is going to be different than most of us would see it. They probably are looking at...

Yeah I found the original quote (I think) as I never really saw it myself and only remembered people talking about it. It seems that Sony's delay is open to interpretation as to why it happened.

As it stands with what I know, that's pretty much it. It seems there maybe something akin to VMX128 with Durango's version. Still not quite sure. It could explain why Sony got "put to the side" by...

I think the issue here is that Xbox 3's CPU was never called Jaguar on VGLeaks. It sounds the same on the surface because both are 8-core CPUs clocked at 1.6Ghz. But they aren't as I understand...

I was coming back in regards to this as I had some extra info. This does after all seem to be the case for Xbox 3's CPU. I'm not sure on the exact details, but from a FLOPs perspective it seems it...

No gone down for me, but trying to rectify the "comparable" comments.

Ahead I agree with, but I don't know about far ahead. Though I'm also trying to take it from a multi-plat devs perspective. Without shifting around the usage of the 4CUs, 14 CUs vs 12 CUs is only a...

I think the 14 + 4 setup of PS4 is the missing piece to explain why it has been said PS4 and Xbox 3 are as close as they are supposed to be. From a rendering viewpoint you're looking at 14 CUs vs 12...

Right. This is why I went with either that scalar ALU being modified or an additional ALU being modified. I guess an additional ALU of some kind (which is...

I was going to make that a #3 as well, but backed off since ~6 GFLOPs doesn't seem worth even acknowledging as minor, though my opinion, as I'm sure Sony would need to mention it.

I would say we're looking at these two scenarios as most likely.

1. 4 CUs have an extra (scalar or modified) ALU and these CUs are dedicated to compute, but can also be for rendering. "Minor...

I would believe it can since these are separate SIMDs in the CU. I don't disagree with the extra Scalar ALU idea since it's virtually the same as what I was proposing at first. Though that would be...

Your math is fine Scott. What I'm saying is in that scenario, the fifth SIMD in these 4 CUs is not factored into the 410 GFLOPs because it's "dedicated" to compute. If the dev decides to use the...

I guess it would depend on what the developer needs. I would assume the dev is free to use more of the CU or CUs for compute if needed.

Giving my take on the 14+4 and the wording, how it sound to me is that the 4 CUs have 64+1 ALUs as opposed to the normal 64 in a CU. The +1 is dedicated to compute, but if used for rendering would...
