Predict: The Next Generation Console Tech

[SKYSONY]

EDIT

Sounds like the "~1 TF" BG's sources claimed then. Or it could be even worse, maybe IGN's 6670 level (this would fulfill the requirement to generate a lot of debate on forums)

So it could be like 8 1.6ghz Jag cores, 8GB DDR3, and a Cape Verde. Not terribly impressive indeed, except for the RAM.

Sony could have an opening then, but a lot depends.

 

[fehu]

cape verde + jaguar can be less than 200mm
it would be really surprising and a little less than 6x theoretical GF compared to 360

 

[upnorthsox]

They don't have to be Jaguar cores.

And it does not have to be a crapy GPU neither. It will be poweful, but not as some people would like.

people expect hd 8850 . so will it be between hd 7770 and hd 7850 ?

I have absolutely no idea. I've posted everything I know.

Whats with the edits? Its not like you gave much away? Did you just get scared? Or are you trying to make it look 'legit'?

lol

EDIT: Inlight of what you said, it will surely need edram, as main memory of that size is likely to be slow.

We are going back again... To IGN 6x rumor... Lol...

 

[admiral_awesome]

It is already edited out - too bad I wish I could have read what SKYSONY posted. I guess now the posts are deleted they have to be true like with sweetvar26 and the others...

A person on Rage3d boards made a similar comment about the Durango's alpha kit, saying that most would be happy with it, but that the hardcore would be disappointed.

Well after spending some time with the 720 beta kit, I must say that most will be happy, but some of the hardcore guys will probably be really disappointed

Kinect 2.0?

That... Does not sound especially inspiring.

He did mention ESRAM.

I'm not sure about others on this forum, but I have no interest in buying a console that falls below 1.5TF of GPU processing power.

1.5Tf is still 5-6x current consoles.

And looking at history memory and system bandwidth have always been the key areas that affect the machines later on then raw shader power alone.

 

[Bagel seed]

What's the source of the new info? Other forums?

I guess they wont communicate too much on spec then...

I dont know, i wont be happy but considering what devs are getting out of current hardware i think the jump could turn up some impressive results in a console. Also flops are only one metric, a bigger than usual jump in bandwidth to memory could turn up great results.

Considering the fact that DDR3 will be used in the console the above won't be happening.
