Support NeoGAF

[maquiladora]

It might sound overpowered now but this will probably still be the current system in 2019.

dat planning ahead.

 

[shinobi602]

Well, people were saying they should make next gen consoles future proof right?

Maybe by 2018 or so 16-core CPUs would be the norm >___>

 

[MiniBossman]

These rumors are getting out of hand. Next they'll be telling us the WiiU is less powerful than .... Oh wait.

 

[Davidion]

SIX TEEN CORES GAIZ

 

[maniac-kun]

So i guess the PS4 will have 32 cores and 4 GPUs.

 

[darkwing]

PS4 may be more powerful but the Xbox720 is coming out first

 

[Lagspike_exe]

So, according to the rumors, MS is going all out with the Duranto and... Sony will be even more powerful, but have less RAM? The next gen is going to be ballistic.

 

[knitoe]

i don't know why you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

Nah. It's like dreaming of a Ferrari and getting a Corvette instead. Would still be great. Now, if it was a Mustang, I would be disappointed.

 

[Balehead]

It’s a ridiculous amount of power for a games machine – too much power, even

It's going to be a wild ride before we even get to this years E3 with all these rumors.

 

[maquiladora]

PS4 may be more powerful but the Xbox720 is coming out first

I think we'll see both systems launch in late 2013. Epic gaming madness.

 

[i-Lo]

12 Cores reserved Kinect to get 1:1 response so that you can really enjoy that Starwars Game.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Rumor would've been more fun if they said it had one core.

It was a living brain, endless processing capabilities if you code to the "metal".

 

[bigtroyjon]

Previous Xbox World Rumor about 720
This was the tablet rumor and included this.

"Microsoft are playing it safe with the CPU and GPU but running wild with the functions that will change how you play, but it won't be cheap."

 

[SolarPowered]

That is a lot of cores. I hope I can build enough towers to protect them from the ali-

On a console? goddamn

 

[Deadbeat]

I am curious as to the cost to make the console and the retail price they will set. This is going to be interesting. Surely Microsoft will have some sensibility and not go in balls deep like sony did with the PS3.

 

[Always-honest]

PS4 may be more powerful but the Xbox720 is coming out first

Sony says ps4 is first

 

[injurai]

SHOOORE.... It's not like I have to actually pay for electricity or anything....

 

[Wallach]

That is a lot of cores. I hope I can build enough towers to protect them from the ali-

On a console? goddamn

don't build so many, just upgrade the ones you have

 

[subversus]

So i guess the PS4 will have 32 cores and 4 GPUs.

and will run on mana

 

[JaseC]

Previous Xbox World Rumor about 720
This was the tablet rumor and included this.

So, in other words, they're throwing rumours at the wall and hoping one sticks.

and will run on mako, with FF7R being a launch title

Fixed.

 

[wabo]

Only 16 cores?

I'm disappoint.

Spoiler

16 misunderstood cores = 16 threads !

 

[Y2Kev]

Over 9,000 cores

 

[KageMaru]

Regarding the 16 cores, I wonder if they actually mean 16 threads. IF the other rumors of a 6-core CPU is correct, and each core possibly has 4 threads, this could equal 16 threads for gaming. Also according to the other rumor, an entire core is dedicated to Kinect, which could equal 4 threads instead of 4 cores as it's read in this rumor.

Edit:

looks like I was beaten by wabo. =p

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.”

Man these rumors just flip flop constantly. I just hope we'll learn all we need to know by the time they launch. If both launch in 2013, I don't care to get the weaker console at launch.

 

[Vinterbird]

God, more then another year of this stuff is going to drive me insane.

 

[Plinko]

Far ahead of gaming PCs? Really?

Don't believe this for a second.

 

[injurai]

Imagine the size of that power brick...god damn.

 

[AiTM]

The power...of 16 CORES

 

[EvetS]

Man, PS2 was powerful enough to launch missiles. What can't we achieve with 16 cores!

 

[Celcius]

I hope this rumor is true. Can't wait until we start to get official specs and screenshots...

 

[Phonomezer]

So, according to the rumors, MS is going all out with the Duranto and... Sony will be even more powerful, but have less RAM? The next gen is going to be ballistic.

They said they "expect" the PS4 to be more powerful... so they have no idea.

As if all the Wii U "news" was bad enough. E3 is going to be so much fun.

 

[TheBioLover]

But can it run Crysis?

 

[shinobi602]

No but seriously though, wouldn't this make it future proof like everyone is saying it should be?

 

[AgentP]

wow 16 cores? this will be faster than PCs!

If true they would be very simple cores, an i5 would run rings around it in most cases. I doubt the tumor is true, they cannot afford the heat or space for 16 real cores.

 

[Drkirby]

But can it run Crysis?

Nope, no backwards compatibility.

 

[foxdvd]

Man, PS2 was powerful enough to launch missiles. What can't we achieve with 16 cores!

launch 16 missiles?

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Sony says ps4 is first

Yet this rumour states:

Microsoft have beaten Sony out of the gate by getting hardware into the developers’ hands first.

So perhaps MS don't want to let Sony go first, or this rumour could be a load of shit like so many of these next gen rumours most likely are!

 

[Always-honest]

But can it run Crysis?

Only in holographic 4D at 120fps

 

[Lagspike_exe]

They said they "expect" the PS4 to be more powerful... so they have no idea.

As if all the Wii U "news" was bad enough. E3 is going to be so much fun.

This isn't the only rumor that's suggesting that PS4 will be more powerful.

 

[Always-honest]

Yet this rumour states:

So perhaps MS don't want to let Sony go first, or this rumour could be a load of shit like so many of these next gen rumours most likely are!

Ofcourse, only time will tell and at this point i don't believe anything.

 

[KageMaru]

This isn't the only rumor that's suggesting that PS4 will be more powerful.

Yes just like we've read rumors that the xbox will be more powerful.

No telling which to believe until we have more info.

 

[runningjoke]

So Xbox gets 4x4 threads, WiiU 3x4. With Kinect using up 4 cores, WiiU games will look the same.

 

[Deadbeat]

How much money was Sony losing per console when they launched?

How much money was MS losing per console when they launched?

 

[Alebrije]

Seems legit.

 

[shira]

It wouldn't be hard to have all the cores working in tandem. Efficiency, however, is another matter.

Well obviously. The gall they have to publish the phrase implying that is hilarious - day one maxed out system

 

[Chaplain]

16 Core Processor: Upgrade from AMD Opteron 6100 Series to Upcoming "Interlagos"

See an AMD reference design upgraded from an AMD Opteron 6100 Series processor to the upcoming processor code-named "Interlagos." Interlagos is a 16 core processor with the new "Bulldozer" core architecture.

 

[Corto]

So Xbox gets 4x4 threads, WiiU 3x4. With Kinect using up 4 cores, WiiU games will look the same.

Ah... If only real life was that simple.

 

[Raide]

So Xbox gets 4x4 threads, WiiU 3x4. With Kinect using up 4 cores, WiiU games will look the same.

I think the 720 is getting Blast Processing and Mode 7, so I think the Wii-U will be the underdog.

 

[darkwing]

with these specs, I don't see how the PS4 can be powerful

 

[Always-honest]

So Xbox gets 4x4 threads, WiiU 3x4. With Kinect using up 4 cores, WiiU games will look the same.

You forgot about the tablet controller

 

[Lancehead]

Question is, do we still get visceral combat and cinematic experience?
