Predict: The Next Generation Console Tech

[XpiderMX]

From Aegies:

At this point, I think I might have misunderstood my source re: APU + GPU in Durango. It still sounds like a possibility for Orbis though.

My gut feeling too. Which would give Sony a big advantage no?

I mean considering what we know.

That's ... not what I'm hearing about Sony, from what little I am hearing. Nothing super concrete there though.

Mind giving a link? I think I'm missing something about the context of the first quote.

No, it will be either 4 or 8, not 8 and 16. 4GB GDDR5 or 8GB DDR3 or 4.

I was talking about the rumoured dev-kit, not the final console.

Let's think about other potential 8s:

-8 players/users at once on one console
-Kinect 2 supporting up to 8 players. 8 player party games at launch
-$8 / mo live infinite plan. Unlimited streaming, cloud storage, and 8 game rentals per year
-8 colors to choose from at launch

Not potential, but late 2013 is 8 years since the 360 launched.

So what exactly is he trying to say?

 

[Bagel seed]

720 = Big custom APU, no discreet GPU
PS4 = APU + GPU possibly

Not potential, but late 2013 is 8 years since the 360 launched.

Yep, another coincidence.

 

[AlNom]

It wasn't the other way around?

The earliest rumours for PS4 were simply steamroller and a GPU, and then there's that document for Xbox strategy with the APU/GPU config (Yukon) and then the patent stuff surfaced (related or not, it at least puts different ideas into different camps).

Would be funny for them both to turn the tables like that. Curious, to say the least...

Rumours being rumours etc...

He said #1 AMD guy's info is true,8cores CPU,8GB RAM,HD8xxx,win8 core custom OS,640GB HDD
While another people ask "8900 or 8800 series?",he said "8880"<-i think it just typo,he mean 8800 series.

It seems like the people designing the system have an 8 fetish.

 

[admiral_awesome]

Why the move back from Steamroller to Jaguar? If I remember correctly I saw a AMD roadmap with them scheduled for Q4 2013 today from a presentation at CES by Lisa Su.

What, 8 TF you say?

 

[Proelite]

What, 8 TF you say?

 

[XpiderMX]

8 SKUs xD

 

[nunomoreira]

maybe it will also be released on August 8

 

[Proelite]

8 core cpu
8mb cache
88mb edram
8gb ram
AMD 8880 gpu 880mhz clock,
8 teraflops

 

[Inuhanyou]

But even an 8880 gpu would not be 8tflops...

 

[Bagel seed]

They will get the 8TF from the customizations. AMD+Xbox = Gotenks

 

[Proelite]

But even an 8880 gpu would not be 8tflops...

Not if you have eight of them.

 

[anexanhume]

But even an 8880 gpu would not be 8tflops...

The original xbox 360 press release claimed the system had a total of over 1 teraflop FP performance. They'll find some way to claim 8x

 

[JasonLD]

888times more powerful than original Xbox!
I had to say it.
