    Wii U hardware discussion and investigation *rename

    Memory hierarchy is far from the only thing that lets these comparisons down. We're talking about taking a game from one system (PC), comparing it to a version of the same game on another system (360) and then using that to compare to different games on a third system. Then using that to come...

    Or perhaps Bobcat cores just aren't more capable let alone far more, despite the assumption that Bobcat is a new design and Espresso a design from 1998 (not even Gekko is a design from 1998). Its also worth mentioning Trine 2. A game which runs with better shader quality on WiiU and at a...

    55nm, "a bit unlikely"?.. Its a 40nm chip, 137mm2, should be somewhere around 1 billion transistors. The fact that developers haven't gotten the most out of it yet doesn't change that.

    liolio Before I reply I'd be interested to know on what you're basing all of your angst. You must have some pretty definite info yes? I mean you must know WiiU's specs?

    I meant he could have registered here with a different name, since he's posting the info here. Yeah I think its supposed to be quite a process to be accepted at Neogaf these days. Has it now become similar here?

    You have no solid info on WiiU performance. You're putting a system together and making big assumptions at times based on little to no fact (like chip size/expense ect) and looking at RAM prices on new egg. Now most of that's fine from a purely speculative standpoint (all be it flawed in...

    Remind me if I missed something but back then he was only giving an opinion based on the same info everyone else had. What he's saying about WiiU now is clearly being presented as inside info. I have no idea if he really has inside info or not, so I'm not taking any of it as anything but...

    What are you talking about? How are you even allowed to post on this forum?

    Wii U hardware discussion and investigation *rename

    Well its development began with R700 as the starting point so obviously it has to be R700 based by definition. However that doesn't tell us much about the chips capabilities. I mean obviously I agree that e6760 isn't literally the WiiU GPU, it doesn't have 32MB eDram for a start. But could...

    As far as Hollywood goes it was just a case of the chip being bigger than you'd expect Flipper to be at 90nm so it seemed likely something was added. I don't remember making any grand claims of what I thought had been added and I don't remember hearing any rumours of additions either (?) Who...

    Does anyone else remember the PowerVR village benchmark? :) What's impressive about Epic Citadel graphically in comparison to 3DS games is the resolution and the texture quality. The texture quality comes down to memory and the resolution mostly comes down to the screen. After all the SGX...

    360 has a In order execution CPU and DX9 GPU. WiiU has an out of order CPU + Audio DSP + I/O controller with a DX11 level GPGPU. So no its not the same architecture, in fact they're pretty different.

    PowerVR SGX was also demoed in 2006.. I'm pretty sure there's no wattage info for the 3DS GPU publicly available, and also not enough firm info on its "processing power" to make the kind of claim you just made. Also very low resolution compared to what? Can you explain to me how a single...

    Fact: Nintendo to release HD console + controllers with built-in screen late 2012

    The same games you can get on PS3/360, plus Nintendo games, sounds perfect to me. Plus of course the addition of unique tablet features to differentiate those games and the possibility of improved graphics. Can't wait till E3 :D

    Predict: The Next Generation Console Tech

    Yeah and it can often take up an entire core to do so.
