Cell 419 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) Wait a minute, this thing has 16 fucking cores? :noway Holy shit Remij actually made himself useful. Edited April 9, 2012 by Cell Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij_ 5 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 4 cores at 4 threads each apparently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spicalicious 128 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 4 cores at 4 threads each apparently. Still impressed with that. 16 cores blew me away and I couldn't believe it but 4 cores with 4 hw threads per is still amazing. Most modern games still aren't using the entire 4 cores in pc gaming.

Cell 419 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 What does 4 threads each mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGC Here Be Fragons 163 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 devs had a hard enough time programming for cell and you think this 64 thread cpu is gonna look good?? lmao 16 core cpu not 16 thread cpu 16 core cpu with 4 threads each is 64 threads lmao pretending that this still isn't amazing technology. rofl neither of you are very good at reading What does 4 threads each mean? each core is capable of splitting its processes into 4 virtual cpus basically Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spicalicious 128 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) So it's a 4x4. makes sense.. 4 cores.. with "4 virtual cores" or threads each. Not 16 full cores. But must be better for doing multiple things at once still. Edited April 9, 2012 by Spicalicious Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remij_ 5 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 So it's a 4x4. makes sense.. 4 cores.. with 4 virtual cores each. Yea, it makes sense why someone might think it has 16 cores... but "threads" should have been the word used. Still, this thing will be a beast when the games developed actually take advantage of all of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SupremeInstinct 1 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) is sony is making a big mistake going with bulldozer? that cpu is garbage, at least when running windows, maybe it can do better without ms's OS? Edited April 9, 2012 by SuPrEMeFaNbOy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We'll have to wait till we find out more about the console's architecture before we'll really know if it really would benefit to have more physical cores or not.

Spicalicious 128 Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 (edited) piece of shit befaggon doesn't even know how to troubleshoot a bsod yet he makes himself out to be a genius programmer.. lmfao I love when these kids get outta school and think they know everything when all they've learned was from books mostly and have no real world experience. Come see me in 5-10 years and then we can talk technology. Edited April 9, 2012 by Spicalicious Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 80mb edram would have easily made up for not being 64 threads IMO lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
