The Whipitcher Wild Goo 472 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 16-core with 4 times multithread? Yeah, not happening That's a motherboard nightmare. It's probably a quad with 4 times multithread. In the end, creating a "16 virtual cores." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerPC_A2 16 Cores, 64 Threads 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 ( That is if you've been following the subject closely ). The PS4 is more of a mystery at this point. There have only been very very vague rumors. Edited April 6, 2012 by The Whipit Scrolls Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SupremeInstinct 1 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 only servers require this many cores, maybe ms will be running servers off your xbox and still charge you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

guiltyspark 20 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 remember when sony made the ps3 and everyone thought it was going to be great because it was more powerful but it turns out the only games that were any good on it were a game called flower and another game called journey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
720p 0 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Hey guize, guize! Listen! My...GUIZE! I have a laptop with 8 cores! If i- if my 2 year old laptop can do this! Then um, then Xbox 3 can have 64 cores! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Whipitcher Wild Goo 472 Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 Yeah, phosphorous doesn't come off as butthurt at all. Feeling threatened much LOL You can doubt the Power of Durango all you want but Microsoft is going Full Out BEAST Next Gen Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Motherfucker 30 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 and 2GB of RAM but it's a RISC CPU, so that's probably plenty of memory. With 16 cores, I can only image the L1 and L2 memory cache size the CPU have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guiltyspark 20 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CGC Here Be Fragons 163 Posted April 6, 2012 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
guiltyspark 20 Posted April 6, 2012 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 16 core cpu not 16 thread cpu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Motherfucker 30 Posted April 6, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 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.

SupremeInstinct 1 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 ms and sony are dumb, just use dat intel 2500k oc'd to 4.6ghz and call it a day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.
