Unofficially RSX = G80

Nvidia more likely to release info re: G80 than RSX
IF there is any document linking the two at NVidia, doesn't it seem more likely to be about G80 (a processor NVidia will be marketing) than about RSX (a processor Sony, if anyone, would be marketing)?
IF the two have some degree of commonality, doesn't it seem most likely that it has to do with two separate high-speed busses to memory? And IF there really are two asymmetric busses on the G80, wouldn't it make more sense to speculate wildly and with abandon regarding XDR on G80?
Just curious....

Laa Yosh,
I have done nothing wrong and have tried to be polite and respectful to everyone. I have not spammed trying to sell stuff, posted sexual material, attacked other users, or been hateful to anyone. The truth is I have been some-what attacked in this thread by a few people, but I'm moving on and not letting it bother me.
I don't need any type of ban at all, because I've done nothing wrong and the moderators fully understand that. Also, Nerve Damage has done nothing wrong as well.
I'm simply facinated with the RSX. There is nothing wrong with that.
Also, to answer someone elses question....
The specs I want are a more detailed version of the original specs given to us at E3 of 2005 (basically the level of specs we publically have now about the 7800) but updated with the final information about the RSX.
That's all I want. It would provide us with a lot of information and more than enough for us non-technical folks to chew on for a long time.

Yes, but you've also been told that the rumor you heard is next to impossible and pretty much guaranteed as false...makes speculating about it a lot less fun.
I personally think that the RSX will be based off Nvidia next gen card. However, you guy keep talking about this G80 card. We don't even know what G80 is at this point. So how can you say the RSX won't be based off this card's specs? Nvidia been slient even about this card for very good reasons. Plus it was Nvidia that said Sony delay was a master stroke. We think that we truly understand their meaning behide this statement. However, what to hell does the blueray production have to do with the graphic chip manufacter? Nothing. So Nvidia must be speaking from their prospective.
Even if the RSX was based off of G71, would it not be completely compaible with Nvidia next gen hardware? Even if developers were using G71 hardware within there devel units. Some of you guy sound like these developers would riot if Sony say were gonna give you a more powerful and flexiable GPU in the PS3. I mean look at some of the changes they made with to controllers. Did the developers throw all their work out just because they updated it specs? No. Are Developers jumping ship? No!
So why would they do so if the RSX got updated? The RSX may have started out as a G70, but eloved into more. What's wrong with that?

Because there are people posting in this thread who work with the RSX on a daily basis. Or is their opinion on the matter not valid?
Wow, that what you guy do around here? So if someone doesn't take your viewpoint they could be banned. Sounds like God Fearing Republicans
You can read post #154 in this thread for my views on *both* issues.

No that's cool. However, they never told you or I that the RSX did not get any updated right? Cause if they did, that's a broken NDA!
Well that's the media for you. However, truth does sometimes comes from leaks.
Yeah, and whoever they told probably wouldn't come out and SAY that they were told it...they'd just continue to shoot the idea down by logical reasoning so no one has to say it and so no one looks too foolish.
Speculating is fun, speculating is good, dreaming of longshots is fun, speculating of longshots is good; crediting longshots as speculation is bad.
This is a super-duper extreme longshots with the odds weighing in VERY heavily against it according to every bit of information available, you expect we should encourage it as a practical consideration?
Once again, we need to focus on one important thing here.
We all know that the current RSX is a 24 pipe NV47. That has been confirmed. I agree with that. I believe that. I do not dispute that. We should all believe that by now. Yes, it has tweaks. Yes, it has some improvements. But it's based on the NV47.
However, if this rumor is true it means that NO developers ANYWHERE have the latest NEW version of the RSX. Basically, if it's true it means that Sony could very well be keeping their own developers in the dark and even many of their employees that don't have a direct need to know.
I'm not saying this rumor is true. Probably, it's not. But there is a chance it could be true. But we have to realize this rumor would mean that no one here would know the specs of the FINAL RSX.
Now, if a new version of the RSX was to be produced based on the G80 how do you think it would be constructed?
One person stated that it would perhaps only have one core and gave some numbers for the pipelines.
If this was to really happen how do you think the G80 would be modified to work in the PS3? You don't have to believe this is going to happen, because we don't know yet. And it probably won't happen. But the point of this thread is the RSX being based on the G80. If that was to occur, what would they do to create the new version of the RSX?

Yes and with their launch date only what, about 3 weeks away what you are suggesting is just physically impossible to do without another delay...and it would be one that would push the launch past Xmas which I just do NOT see Sony doing.
Sure, the truth often comes from leaks. But this is not a leak, this is a fabrication. As so many of these 'leaks' tend to be these days...
Ok true,
but you don't even know is the G80! What is the G80 and how is the RSX not like it?
Without that infomation, we really can't make those conclusion. For all we know the RSX could be the G80 (maybe Nvidia won't even it G80).
Uhm, you don't know that and with me I'd think it's a bit silly to assume it.
Have you not noticed how much I've avoided all the G80 speculation threads? There is a reason you know.

wow
this thread really got some attention

How can we be sure without the actual specs? None of us here in this thread without NDA know yet. Anything is possible. Really now, when did we know Sony redesign the controller? Nobody knew any thing about it. In fact, we were hoping they would work like PS2's controllers.
