WiiGeePeeYou (Hollywood) what IS it ?

Seriously?, or was that just a joke?..

 

Fake? Damn.. oh well.

Well Flipper had 2.1MB for the framebuffer and z-buffer, which is exactly how much you need if they're at 640x576.

Was 324MHz 64bit 1T-SRAM overkill for Gekko @ 485MHz? Also remember that Flipper/Hollywood use that RAM too.

 

That really is Jessica.

 

Wasn't it only 162mhz?

 

No, the GPU was 162Mhz and the ram was running on a 2X multiplier of the GPU (324Mhz).

 

While I think this is possible true, I have no reasons to belive in you can you change that?

 

A picture says more than thousand words



Anyway, that could mean that the Wii RAM is on a 64bit bus.

 

no, seriously i am Jessica.

 

The site as been edited.

 

yes ubisoft contacted me to remove the interview, i told them i wouldnt, and i edited it, if they still arent satisfied they can go to hell.

 

Apparently mr Poix told me things he shouldnt have and ubisoft is having to deny everything to people to cover their own asses on the matter, if it were truly fake theyed have threatened a lawsuit already, and they havent so.... =)

 

didnt factor 5 open up with lawsuit threats against han_solo like immidiately after his bullshit went out everywhere?

 

Ubi's in denial mode. They want Jessica to say the interview was fake. We're offering to edit out all hardware info instead, since it's our first ever exclusive.

 

Before everyone call this fake I just want to point that at least in some parts this are very close to IGN specs:

3x Gekko in fp (easly a dual core or even just a VMX) is ~5,7 and AXP2400 (1,6Ghz) is ~6,1.

In fill rate, 3xthe filiper like is said 8 (pipes) x 240 Mhz is near (diference of 110Mhz) from the 4x590 (x1600) and near in shading if we consider the X1400.

The physics on the GPU as already appeard on a IGN interviewn (I even send a question, to confirm, to Matt for the Q&A thing but I got no reply till today...), and given the animation and pysics from RS it would not be a suprise.

The speed of the Ram is only 2x more.

For the edram it is less than Moores Law (up to 12 Mgs and the same die size on 90nm) given the Q version even on the same process it would only need a ~16% bigger die (GC is supossed to have 8 too, right?).

The only thing that it is somewhat "strange" is the fully programable GPU and the 4xAA and 8xAF but ATI already said that it is new architeture.

In many case those specs would lead to 4-5x GC at the best with the expection of physics (althought it is the kind of smart thing that we expect from them), or shading if we go to the X1600.

Anyway it is all consistent with the RS video (not demo) that as not been made in final HW (and in GI they said that in the fianl version some physics features would be implemented).

Actually now that I think in this it seems low again .

Just food for thought.

 

Jessica don't cave, hopefully it forces Nintendo to fess up and reveal the specs themselves. The interview made it to GAF, TeamXbox, IGN, and many of them immediately dismissed the interview as fake.

Whatever the secret is, it must be connected to the chipset because Nintendo is its best to keep devs mouths shut. I guess its more exciting to a gamer to see something acheived graphically on a console, you know absolutely nothing about. Its the surprise factor.

 

it spread out that far?

 

Most call this a fake so it would be a suprisse anyway.

 

what do you mean by that? and do you and the rest of b3d think its fake?

 

I visit all three forums, the GAF thread has been locked. I don't know about IGN, last time I visited TeamXbox their thread was still open.
