More RAM and 4K video wouldn't hurt a future iPhone 6S, that's for sure. The rest is good enough for a year or two, at least.

There's no way that last render is part of an official internal project at Samsung's design studio. Portrait icon on the left, landscape icons on the right - notice also the inconsistently bent maps icon -, and a stock*ish* Android Ui? The machining of the interior also looks suspiciously...

Is there anything out there that conclusively declares the "Apple A4" SoC as a Cortex A9 and not an ARM Cortex A8 ? Engadget said something about it containing a Mali 50 class GPU and, to my understanding, that's actually the lowest spec'ed eGPU in ARM's current arsenal.

That's why they've announced it right in front of the technically-savvy people (GPGPU and parallel computing crowd) who could have exposed the architecture as a scam in the first place... I doubt they were there to learn about new DX11 and OpenGL-related features of the chip either. /sarcasm

This is... awkward, even for Nvidia :wink:

Synergy between Moblin OS and Maemo OS software development is another strong focus point of their alliance, not necessarily just the sharing of hardware components and wireless IP. Linux distros on ARM and low-speed x86 for smartphones, MID's and netbooks still have plenty of maturing to do.

"Broadway" is the Wii CPU, "Gekko" was Gamecube's. Essentially, the former is a shrunk, higher clocking variation of the same PPC G3-based design. Wii's "Broadway" only has half the L2 cache of the PowerPC 750FX design (or 1/4th that of the PowerPC 750GX), and the L2 bus width was cut down.

If they go for Tegra II, it should be substantially faster. Going with the current one is an unknown quantity at this time. Remember that the general purpose CPU component and architecture both play a key role here, due to the tight integration of these closed console platforms. Comparing a...

Compared to the ARM9 and ARM7 cores in the current Nintendo DSi, Tegra is much faster clock-for-clock, even in its first generation ARM11-based iteration. This without even mentioning clockspeeds (DSi's ARM9 goes up to 133MHz, apparently, while Tegra can hit speeds closer to 1GHz).

The fact that they would choose this event to unveil it, however, is very telling, isn't it ? That's why i specifically avoided mentioning either DX11 or OpenGL in that post, and referred to it as being "graphics" related. ;)

Finally, something related to graphics on Fermi: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/44148/140/

Pure software emulation is certainly not on their minds if it significantly impacts actual 3D performance, but it is conceivable that it's one area where there'll be compromises as to the level of hardware implementation, much like the ones Nvidia did it with G80 when Geometry Shaders'...

DX11 is an improvement, no ? :wink: And this is a "graphics" card, it has a DVI port (unlike their Tesla GPGPU counterparts): Since this was never meant to be a product "launch", not even a "paper-launch", talking about that three months before the actual unveiling would sort of kill the...

Ah, so it worked... ;) Quite a drop from what exactly ? Expecting "DX10-ALU's x 2" + DX11 logic "appendages" again ? Not this time.

The GT200 never existed, only two "G200" made at 65nm and 55nm TSMC, according to the writings on the metal cap over the core packaging... :wink:
