I get your point, but I'm one of those as well... sometimes my Internet can get wonky, but it doesn't mean I don't want the ability to take...
I almost want to launch into an EyeToy rant again, but I'll refrain, Safe to say that Sony let that ship sail - in an area they could have...
Absolutely, but is it enough reason to jump ship when the other side, obviously, makes you pay as well? Probably.
Gotta get the XBox for the free multiplayer I guess.
Of course my stream crashed five minutes ago...
I think you're on to something there.
I mean they said right at the start of the trailer it was in engine, so... not sure the confusion. Sony has learned from previous years how this...
Well, in-engine vs CG per se.
The last generation Sony was insanely focused on an all-in-one media box; the idea that they would move away from that was/is just a pipe dream....
Sony presenters are ever-terrible and pre-scripted. Only Kaz and Kutaragi ever had a natural air about them.
Dude, I want TV though!
Not too small really... I dig it, but the lead up to the reveal was classically overwrought.
Pachter will never be right.
Yeah, definitely not here, I can tell you that!
Yeah they suck...
I would recommend watching directly from the PS3, which seems to favor continuity of the stream even if rendering lags over buffering of the...
Moved a bunch of posts over to this thread: http://beyond3d.com/showthread.php?t=61753 Everyone - try to keep this discussion focused on the...
Sure - my angle wasn't the NDA, which is anyone's own business to break or not and which I don't care about, but rather that he might not know the...
As a complete aside, be it known that it will be the minority of developers that know the actual final specs at this time, even though they will...
What I am telling you, is that the RSX was almost a straight PC chip derivative - the reason that PCs similarly spec'd at the time might not be...
RSX. That was a 2005 PC chip derivative.
No doubt it is superior in compression/decode and other traditional signal processing tasks. The question for me is, is it needed? Because as...
Except that none of the signs are in place this time as they were last time. Last time, unified shaders was a known stop on the horizon - we were...
Absolutely, in those areas where you would be able to sub it in for said CPU/GPU - but we're talking in addition to those chips. Is this CPU/GPU...
Why do you think that?
Outspend where though? Components? R&D? Subsidization? Tools? Games? Let's wait for the dust to clear before we declare any champions of...
When 360 and PS3 were shaping up prior to their launches, there was mixed thinking. Some people felt that Microsoft after their losses with XBox1...
The Xenos project was one whereby MS was getting access to certain "advanced" GPU technologies in exchange for: a) the obvious role it has in...
I could see him being a big fan of FPGA's in general, and I could see some excitement concerning their applicability in things like BD players and...
It's a matter of specific implementations though - in theory a DSP can be as incredible as its designers make it for its given taskloads... it...
The SPEs were a full "core" for those (or most any) purposes. If the AMD cores are the smallest computational silicon within the system that can...
Honestly I would find the typical FPGA not much less uninspiring than the straight DSP scenario. What in the world applications are there where...
I don't think anyone was suggesting - or even hypothesizing - that SPEs would be incorporated into the AMD-derived cores.
That's just the thing though... I view the idea and discussion revolving around these audio DSPs as a total non-event. As far as chips go, you...
In my mind it would honestly have to be something more targeted and specific than simple compute resource availability to warrant inclusion, in...
It's not a dumb question at all. It just seems very unlikely, unless Sony has found some manner via which to exploit them constantly and for...
I don't think the disparities will be too great, one way or the other. I could be wrong of course... Microsoft's focus is going to be finding a...
They will put out games for it? MS and Sony are still going to be offering the "hardcore" consoles this gen, even if their core isn't hard enough...
There's no question that the HQ sale is being viewed positively as well in isolation though, absolutely.
Well, the stock has been up most on the yen movement, rather than any other one thing. The weakening yen is a godsend for the entire Japanese...
I don't know that I equate it to troubles per se, though it is indicative of a fall from previous strength. From a recent contextual standpoint...
True, good point. Well, we've got the 50Mhz downclock to work with then at least, and some dead silicon.
Selective binning, downclocking, and/or undervolting can always reduce that number as well if needed.
It speaks to my cynicism. :cool: Everything he says of course makes sense, but when you reverse engineer an explanation, anything can. But,...
What makes more sense though is that rumors tossed around back and forth here end up in the articles of the gaming press; I'm not ready to ordain...
No doubt. The back half of my post speaks to as much, as does ERP's own post (complete with experience), and there are numerous threads through...
There could certainly be down-rezzed versions of the same IPs set to be able to play on Surface tablets (or whatever other conforming Windows...
Those were per-unit licensing though, right? Who's fabbing the PS4 chips - I think that's where we're going to start seeing some additional...
Well, b/c going forward for sure - but that's two "gaps" in the legacy support now. In any event, ISA completely aside, what I am really looking...
I think ERP was speaking to PS4's potential handicaps (or lack thereof) when he started with "not really" though, and then using PS3's origins as...
