Would you say Kinect hasn't been commercially successful? It released long after the xbox.
yeah sure but Micorosft didnt have Kinect in mind
3 years (like this document) before the release of xbox360. actually microsoft began developing kinect after the commercial success of the Wii.
the same is true for this TOO OBVIOUSLY FAKE document. if you want to develop a new revolutionary perepheric for your console, the best way is to release it with the console itself. It is like Nintendo releasing the Wii with a standard controller and than releases the wiimote 1 year after....in terms of commercial marketing it is NON SENSE. this fact alone make the document fake, companies just do not work like that.
but not only this that gave it away for me, there are a lot of details that make it obviously fake, I will give some examples :
1- specifying the exact frequency of the GPU (and the CPU) this early (2010), and saying ">32 mb edram", is just non coherent. it is more difficult to decide early on the frequency of the GPU than on the quantity of edram. The guy faking the document obviously wanted to play it safe.
2- "DDR4", why microsoft engineers would choose a non existent technology (that could never see the day of light in 2013) over a proven successful one a la GDDR ? it is like saying sony would use xdr2 ram for its ps4 : commercially non sense.
3- "system cost : 225$" this actually was funny and made me laugh, i wont even comment on this
4- process : 22 nm, really ?
......etc etc etc (but I repeat that the document is too much detailed with too much clear vision for a 2010 document for a 2013 console)
this is the second time I see people in this forum fall for unrealistic rumors (to not say non sense) : the first time when it was said the nextgen GPUs released in 2013 would be based on 2010 PC GPU architecture and level of performance. and the second time is this.
