Except it didn't. Under-clocked Pitcairn rumors are last years dev kits according to Iherre so unless things changed on PS4 for better, thats what he compared Durango with.

So are we going to play a game of selective choosing now? With the number of rumors flying around in the last few months you can always randomly choose one to which you like the most. Such as this.
http://sillegamer.com/2012/04/06/xbox-720-devkit-specs-detailed-includes-16-core-processor/
We know at least one part came true aka "StarWars 1313 and Watch Dogs". But my point being don't get too attached to any of this for now.
So I assume he based on a 1.1TF gpu and 8g DDR3 xbox720 vs a 1.84TF gpu and 2g GDDR5 PS4 for that conclusion? How does the comparison look to you if that's the case, which one do you think is more powerful?
He didn't base it on that, he based it on target specs. What he said is, leaked PS4 "specs" where last years dev kits, and Durango dev kits where 12 GB, 8 core CPU and 7xxx GPU. He said Sony is targeting 10x, and MS is going possibly even more.
When he said "PS4 is subject to change" he was speaking on RAM amount, and Durango was locked as far as specs go. Thats it.
And 1.1 TFLOP its not, its 1 TFLOP+ GPU like BG confirmed, so we don't know for sure exactly how much.
And I wouldn't put to much thought into these XboxWorld rumors. They said IBM CPU and 16 cores in Durango.
I been looking for this rumor every since E3 but couldn't remember where it came from, the part about devs showing Next-Gen games even if Sony & MS didn't show PS4/Xbox Next came to my mind as soon as I seen Watch Dog.
Can we extract any conlsussion about this?
What BG confirmed first was ~2TF gpu for PS4 though later on another rumor states 1.84 TF which coincides it pretty close. Then he goes to say he wasn't very impressed about the 1TF+ for the 720, obviously if it's close to 2TF then he would have mentioned it. But the popular belief is 1.1-1.5TF for 720, wonder if BG can reconfirm about 720's gpu as for now?
Info that BG got said 1TF+ nothing else AFAIK. 1.1-1.5 TF was misinterpretation that everyone got going with so this is quite vague on GPU side.
I want to say that I'm only going by what Iherre and BG said, but I'm also quite curious of what one GAFer said month ago, with his friend working at AMD and Sony going for Jaguar cores (which later BG seems to agree with) from Steamroller ones before. He also said his friend has gone on Durango GPU project and its something unique. Thats maybe a reason for 1TF+ info that BG got, because they don't exactly know how much it will be.
The 1.1TF assumption also probably has something to do with IGN's 6670 rumor in which it translates more or less inline with the said TF amount. But anyway gonna have to wait for BG or whatever new leaks to delve further I suppose
.Yes, thats my understanding too. But, than again, IGN was the one who said PS4 is HD7670 (re-branded 6670) so that should be taken with pinch of salt. If MS has something more in line with 2 TFLOPs, their strategy of giving target specs could be good. I don't think new rumors will come until new kits are sent, and that could be the end of the year.The 1.1TF assumption also probably has something to do with IGN's 6670 rumor in which it translates more or less inline with the said TF amount. But anyway gonna have to wait for BG or whatever new leaks to delve further I suppose

I think you need to go check BG's post history again my friend. As I believe both these statements are inaccurate.

Oland plzkthx.
And lol @ 4x 590. I guess they want next gen consoles to have 11nm GPUs in 2017?
Lherre say:
"PS4 target specs are 10x PS3 (raw power, cpu and gpu) and Xbox next is even more beast".

Sure, but then you have to ask why they were supposedly delivering dev kits with a 6670 if that was extremely under-representative of what an 8000 series GPU could do.
Maybe for the same reason they did whith the Xbox 360 dev kits, that were far less powerful than the final console.
There was an ERP post made some pages back, wish I could find it...
Regardless, if MS is using GCN parts in the final console there will be dev kits out there with GCN parts at this point.
Has he been saying more things about this lately?
Who ever said anything about 6670 in dev kits? Durango dev kits are 8 core CPU, 12 GB of RAM and 7xxx GPU.
Those were less powerful because there was nothing on the market to "emulate" GPU they are aiming for. They went from 9800 pro to X800 to X800xt in Crossfire as they got stronger hardware available.
If I remember correctly that rumor was PS4 one. That should give us some indication of what to make of those two rumors and the answer is - nothing.
