The Whipitcher Wild Goo 472 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 devs had a hard enough time programming for cell and you think this 64 thread cpu is gonna look good?? lmao This would explain why game's today look pretty lackluster on design. I bet developers aren't using 75% of 360/PS3 potential today with all that hardware potential the current consoles have. Back in the day developers use to have do graphic tricks to extra work out of the Genesis and Super Nintendo. The 3D and FPS games that came out on those consoles in their final years were developers working their ass off. Absolutely, fucking scorpion and sub zero only exist because of memory limitations http://systemwars.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/Smileys/laugh.gif But really, throwing more power at it is taking the place of clever design devs had a hard enough time programming for cell and you think this 64 thread cpu is gonna look good?? lmao Programming for multiple cores is no longer the issue it once was. Devs complain more about the split RAM pool. And the Cores in the PPC A2 ( if that is what it winds up being ) are general Purpose cores and not like the SPE's of the Cell. impressive, you can confirm the exact architecture of the cpu before it was even announced It's a very likely Candidate based on the Info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_A2 A low power ( watts ) high core CPU suitable for a Console.

CGC Here Be Fragons 163 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 im a big fan of that style of cpu, i just dont know that it will be efficient from a software standpoint. sure it might be great on power and the chip may be extremely capable, but if nobody can use it it really doesn't matter. I also wouldn't be surprised if they have a custom chip very similar to the PPCA2... unless this will be the first hardware that is literally just a computer with a proprietary bit of software Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Whipitcher Wild Goo 472 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 (edited) whipit. All of these specs are reasonable. There have been enough rumors, leaks and comments to have a basic idea of the 720. The PS4 is more of a mystery at this point. Just rumours nothing actually concrete. This is how it happens. There are real Durango Dev kits in the wild. It's not surprising there are leaks. I can tell by your tone you're gonna be surprised to learn the 720 is an absolute BEAST Rumours aren't facts, in case you didn't know. And when the specs are "confirmed" to your satisfaction and they echo what was said here, what will you say then? All you seem to be bitching about is a post from yourself that you edited. Laughing because you say I believe the 720 will be a "supercomputer" Well, I DO think it'll be an Absolute BEAST. No doubts there Edited April 6, 2012 by The Whipit Scrolls Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Lutece 124 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 fact. pc hardware only acuires real growth in technology when the console market moves up in tech. IE why it feels good to be a pc gamer right now. wow, for once you say some shit that makes sense. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think its good to be a pc gamer now, not because of the tech but because of the creativity going on with a bunch of independent developers. the kickstarters alone have pulled me back and then there is sim city Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And just like phosphorous your obviously just butthurt at any notion of the 720 being a Beast Have you actually gone back and taken a look at your posts?

Just as I've already said. You'll be "surprised" when the Specs closely echo these reports. But I won't There are real physical Durango Devkits out in the wild today. You act like anything reported is pure fantasy rather than actual reports based on something very real. Edited April 6, 2012 by The Whipit Scrolls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beheaded Kamikaze 206 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Because they aren't actual specs until Sony and MS release those specs I will believe it until then only rumours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pffff Stop being so Naive. We knew the 360 and PS3 specs to within 90% accuracy more than a year before Sony and Microsoft "Officially" released their specs. Microsoft and Sony are leaky ships.

720p 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The most funny thing is, theoretical top GFLOPS are not that great between CELL and 16 threaded PowerPC7. CELL 230.4 GFLOPS [@ less than 40W] Power7 33.12 GFLOPS per core clocked at 4.18 GHz = 132.48 GFLOPS Of course, they will modify PowerPC7 to serve as better gaming part [Charlie from S|E mentioned "PowerPC7+"], and 100% utilisation of SPE's is not easily achievable. In the end, its easier to work with 16 general built CPU threads, than with SPEs. Jesus, Cell is still raping new technology. Cell 2.0 in PS4 will shit on Durango Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Whipitcher Wild Goo 472 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Knowing consoles specs WELL ahead of when they are "officially" announced doesn't require believing everything you read on the net. It involves knowing what is credible and what isn't. I can tell the difference. You obviously can't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TLHBO 2,160 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Discrete sources at GDC also confirmed to the publication that developers expect Sony’s Playstation 4 to be more powerful than the next Xbox, and that various studios are aiming to unveil their next generation software at E3 2012 in June, regardless of whether “Microsoft and Sony are ready or not.” Holy shit.
