They could do that with a dedicated chip.You ever thought the Durango might need a slightly better CPU to power Kinect?

None of these respond to his actual post, where he says you need to can it with the subtle BS hints that you have insider knowledge.
He's right, you really do need to knock that shit off.
Thanks.Since I "shat" on the thread. I'll help you out.
It'll allow better management of compute (things like physics) and non-compute tasks on the GPU. Basically making it a GPGPU (General-Purpose GPU). It's not saying that it's BAD at graphics, but it's saying it can act as a CPU if needed. Adding ACE's will allow this to happen without hitches.
In the end, the most apparent advantage is better graphics and physics without having the GPU take an unnecessary hit.
Well a few days ago I did get an email from a Gaffer who has posted a lot in these topics.
It's a PDF. I don't know how much of it is new or old. (It's a little bit different from the VGleaks document)
What I can say is the current leaked specs haven't changed.
So I'm curious to who bgassassin's source is.
If this is true, Sony made huge modifications last minute.
Probably because despite having access to legitimate information, he has said some really stupid shit.It's funny how everyone doesn't believe what superdae has to say, yet they believe his durango leaks are legit LOL
Thanks.
I didn't meant to offend you in any way but for me it is getting tiresome reading a thread with all this GDDR5 nonsense.
ScribD allows anonymous uploads, so share this PDF and let us judge for ourselves.
I'd been led to believe that such a thing wasn't possible?

GameCube 2.0 architecture?
That PDF is not for the public. All you need to know is that the specs have not changed.
No offense ,but I think you're full of shit.
in sony we trust.
I'll say the same thing I said when 720 was rumored to have GCN2 which is, it's nothing to get terribly excited for. Changes seem minimal at best. Still good news though.
Don't do this, seriously.That PDF is not for the public. All you need to know is that the specs have not changed.
So 8 Gigs of GDDR5 + yet unreleased graphics processor = $???
Now I'm starting to wonder how this won't be $599 USD

Vgleaks have been uncovering SuperDaE's leaks in slowmotion to garner more website hits.
This. People are looking way too much into this and are acting like as if GCN 2 will be some major overhaul.
As far as we know, GCN 2 will mostly bring more HSA features and perhaps some balancing and tweaks to up the efficiency. It is possible that AMD will clean up their design for more performance/mm² (pretty much like they did with Barts vs Cypress) though.
Since AMD is holding their next IPs back for a while longer, who obviously will have these new features implemented, it is likely that they are adding this new HSA stuff to the PS470's SoC.
I'd been led to believe that such a thing wasn't possible?
you made and article based on a forum post from someone who have heard it?
What's so hard about varifying info with the mods?I really shouldn't have said anything.
Y2Kev forgive me. I'll just shut up.
Fun and games aside, in layman terms what potential benefits does GCN 2.0 (if true at all) bring to the table over its predecessor?
EDIT: It says upcoming device which could mean 8XXX series and may have nothing to do with PS4.

Experts also claimed that 8GB was not possibile. 4GB was just barely possibile, right?
Probably this was in design from the get-go and it was never leaked before.I'd been led to believe that such a thing wasn't possible?
So much bitter in this post.It's funny when people post about secret sauces when Sony is the one with it.
I don't think GCN 2 is bringing in new HSA features. If it does, that's great, but I doubt it will.
But the increase in ACE's is great because it'll allow any combination of CU's to be used for compute functions.
I'll PM you.
My point was that whenever someone brought up similar comments in any thread about the next xbox, they were immediately set upon with claims that such a thing wasn't possible and that it would set the console back months, etc.
I'm just trying to ascertain why such comments were shot down or dismissed when it's apparently possible to make last minute changes to architecture.
If this is true, Sony made huge modifications last minute.
Source is bgassasin so far.So the Durango 'more efficient CPU than PS4' rumour exists because someone on a thread posted it then?
Come on.
Looks a case of 'you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth'.
Which is what I expect MS is doing as we speak.
Each Durango will feature a cloned brain of Dr. Halsey as its main CPU.
Probably this was in design from the get-go and it was never leaked before.
So much bitter in this post.
This isnt some random GAFFer or an aegies/DAE kind of person we're talking about.
You could still answer his question here, what's so hard about verifying the information with the mods?
If this is true, Sony made huge modifications last minute.
Probably. Sony heavily boosted the PS4 from the last rumors just by doubling the magical RAM.
Offtopic, but wasn't he the one that said Nextbox is always online and doesn't play used games? If so, how reliable is he?Source is bgassasin so far.
Source is bgassasin so far.
Their roadmaps indicate otherwise though.
(I know that the last few months things have been shifted around a lot at AMD so all of this is still up in the air.)
Yes. But the always online and no used games was first broken by Eurogamer.Offtopic, but wasn't he the one that said Nextbox is always online and doesn't play used games? If so, how reliable is he?
I'm going to summarize what I know with regards to Xbox 3.
VGLeaks info has been accurate due to what the info is coming from.
- Always online/internet connection required
- No used games
- No BC
- CPU has increased performance over normal Jaguar cores.
- ~3GB and 2 CPU cores are reserved for the OS, apps, Kinect, etc.
- Xbox has a crazy (IMO) amount of hardware dedicated to audio tasks (e.g. gaming and Siri capabilities)
- Kinect is a pack in
- Same day digital releases for all games
If I learn anything new before I leave the boards, I'll pass it along.
For me I'm not going to write off Sony's audio direction at this point. With the change to Jaguar cores, they will need something competent in that area.
So
Durango CPU > Orbis CPU
Orbis GPU >> Durango GPU
something like that?
Yeah.
