that's not a good sign for a console if it screams.

A 8870 is supposed to be as good as a GTX680, imagine that power in PS720, damn.

So Wii
As the technology advances, you can get more by paying less money and consuming less power
I can't imagine it, but hope it's true.
Why?

Hmm...yeah you're right.
It's not a specs thread without Jeff.
But all of this sounds promising. Makes me want to hold off upgrading my computer until next year.

They can pair it down to 90w for a console part without sacrificing performance, since the desktop part has onboard ram, and other extraneous junk.

Are we looking at a >2TF GPU in the PS4 or 720? I'll gladly pay a premium price if true.
I didn't.

Assuming this is true, I'm looking forward to that 8870.
8850 wattage is almost what I'd expect for the whole box, much less just the GPU. I don't think looking at either of these would tell you anything about what to expect from next-gen consoles.

Doesn't ProElite have some inside info?

PS4/720 graphics beasts confirmed.
If it's in both then both otherwise whichever one features it. If the current shots of durango devkit and the examination of its GPU stated to be either 6870 or 6950 then there is a good chance MS may have a GPU featuring 2TF and PS4 won't lag behind either.

Credible source? Is it anonymous?
I don't know. He's not sharing it here if he has
But anyway, running with it, I'll say what I said in the other thread - look at the die sizes. They're big, too big. A 8000 series based GPU in consoles would be smaller than these, and less powerful. Probably around 2Tflops if they want something similar to the die area needed by the last PS4 rumour (which itself was getting up near 2Tflops anyway).

Will wait until AMD opens their yap.

This should be posted every time someone drags out one those 'adjusted for inflation' console pricing charts.

So its powerful? How does it compare to this gen and Wii U GPUs?

You say that but the die size of RSX was 258mm^2 when it first came out. Do you think an additional 17mm^2 makes the prospect infeasible?

Yep, that would be hot!
