Predict: The Next Generation Console Tech

Probably from BG. Also, Iherre mentioned the other day about notion of consoles hitting 2.5TF easily with resounding "no" and continuing that FLOPS dont tell the whole story. I think now that bkilian said GPU in dev kit wasn't what we thought it was, its pretty clear that Durango GPU is not going to turn heads.

What about the "almost confirmed" ValveBox?

- Valve's console will launch in 2013
- It will use Linux, not Windows
- Valve's hardware labs will reveal other stuff in 2013
- Krasnow has been working on Valve hardware with Jeri Ellsworth since 2011
- Possible reveal at GDC or E3

Is this a "next generation console"?
 
BG is a confirmed non insider, and lherre saying that doesn't confirm any sort of low end GPU. On the other hand, Aegis has implied that we will get something mid to high end next year based on who he's talked to in the industry. And we have developers words themselves like Epic and Crytek who have hinted about the power.

You know Crytek at least would have made a stink if it wasn't in the range they were aiming for.

I am saying that its too early to call anything until we get concrete info.

Come on guys, this isn't GAF(although i'm not a member there), we should be much more level headed than to draw outrageous conclusions about anything.
 
So he's just saying that the GPU's could theoretically be 2.5TF, but in the real word those numbers wouldn't actually be achievable?
Who knows,maybe actually it means "DieH@rd talk about 2.5,3,4TF,he said no and no,not no and no and no,that means one of these number is right":LOL:
 
Hopefully it adds pressure to Sony and MS to up their specs. This low TF talk is seriously worrying, especially with how easy it is to achieve over 2 TF.
Well let's do some high TF talk then,if you're worrying:LOL:

Could you show me? I don't remember that being the case.

Back on topic, I still think these next-gen consoles will bring at lease 2.5 TFLOPs.



Sure.

"When iSuppli tore down an Xbox 360 around this time last year, the firm estimated that Microsoft was losing $126 on each 360 sold. Microsoft is whistling a much happier tune now. Revised component costs for the Xbox 360 indicate that costs have dropped to the point where each $399 Xbox 360 sold costs $323.30 to make—leaving Microsoft $75.70 in the black on each system, before marketing and other costs are figured into the equation."
 
Is the GPU inside of the final Durango dev kit going to be less than 2 TF or higher than 2 TF?
Sorry, can't answer that.
Hey bklian I now this is a bit offtopic but do you like Cycling? Coz boy do I love Cycling as a hobby. I've bought a brand new bicycle in 2005 which I totally adore even till this day. There was once I rode 240km cross country before the tired started to deflate. A good bike non the less, it has very good gears throughout the years and it even comes with a green helmet if you buy it in 2007.
So by the end of this year or at the latest early next year I'm going to replace it with a newer bike, I've heard models that could let you ride 1200km in one session without burning the tyres , also a more expensive and very high end model that could really let you ride 3000km without burning the tyres. I'm thinking about something in the middle say 2000km per session which shouldn't be too expensive. I hope it comes with even better gears and more shinier green helmets bundles, have I mentioned green is my favorite color?
Anyway if you also like cycling as a hobby could you give me some suggestions on which model should I get in 2013? Cheers mate:).
Awesome! :) I'm an avid cyclist myself, but I'm probably not going to buy a new bike this year. I like the look of the new bikes and all, but with the new bike not being able to use my current bike's accessories, I'll stick with the current one until it fails... (Also, I don't know anything about the other guy's new bike, so I couldn't give you a recommendation on what to buy)
 
Sorry, can't answer that.

Okay, can you give us a hint. Are most people going to be disappointed or happy about the final kit TF answer? You know what everyone wants and doesn't want.

This should allow you to answer without breaking NDA.
