53 is not a lot... at all. But then again something is better than nothing.
What movie is this from?

The downclock rumors were never directly about the ESRAM. it was always more specifically about the GPU, and only indirectly related to ESRAM, since the ESRAM speed is supposed to be synced with the GPU clock speed. Presumably if you raise the GPU clock speed, you automatically raise the ESRAM speed, and if you lower the GPU clock speed, you lower the ESRAM speed. A lot of people thought that there would be a downclock to the GPU as a result of ESRAM yields causing problems. I said at the time, based on a first party dev source, that there was no such downclock, and the person I was speaking to, who should be in a position to know about such things, had heard absolutely nothing of the sort regarding a GPU downclock, which made me pretty confident that it wasn't going to happen, even though ESRAM problems were apparently real and something they had heard about.
Also, courtesy of Microsoft themselves, we've basically just been publically provided with the internal history of clock rates going up or down. They said that the clock speed of the GPU went up from 800MHZ to 853MHZ.
The thread has been added to my favorites.
Also won my ban bet.Probably because this is not the Destiny thread?

I think these Bish gifs are probably the best thing to come out of GAF.

Does anyone think this also talks to the yields that MS are expecting at the manufacturers?

To be fair there never was a downclock rumour, only speculation based on the rumours about bad yields.
No one on Gaf can point to any rumour or post from a supposed insider saying definitively that the GPU had been downclocked.

Ahh, OK thanks. I've edited my CBOAT translation to reflect that. Haha.
On topic,
I'm happy Microsoft is making efforts to improve the perception of Xbox One, I hope they've got more positive announcements to make at Gamescom and TGS2013.

I think they can. There were 3 posts in this thread from insiders. (Well insiders that have been banned in the past for being wrong, so they are not CBoaT level.)

Well this is good for Xbox One owners!
While I find it amusing that such a small boost is announced when they refuse to officially announce the specs...every .066 or 6.6% helps.

I'm going through the Bish gif thread laughing my ass off.
On topic 53mhz is a weird number. I would assume 50mhz would have been a nice safe round number. I wonder if there is some reasoning behind 53mhz due to memory timings or something similar.
But PS2 came after Dreamcast, though, & was stronger than it. And Dreamcast first officially came out on November 27, 1998 in Japan.
The Gamecube didn't first come out until September 14th, 2001 in Japan (PS2 first came out on March 4th, 2000 in that same region), while OG Xbox first didn't come out until November 15th, 2001 in the U.S.

Most definitely can. Thuway was talking about it like a done deal at times. There were times when he said he hoped he was wrong, but it didn't sound very much like he thought his sources were wrong.

Thuway and BruceLeeRoy both said their sources said downclock.

Thats not a lot but any little helps.
More of a PR move then for game development though.

Isn't WiiU's GPU computational throughput around 600GFLOPs?

Actually, it's always Sunday.
It was said in the podcast that they released it early this time- which was most likely because of the positive news therein.
Let me check my ball of wonders... Yes Yes... LeeFowler definitely came from Gamespot's System War Forums. How do I know? Ask me later.

Don't be naive, MS didn't disclose a history, just two numbers. As for esram vs GPU people just blur the line, the rumor was about esram yields and the down clock talk was in the context of those yields. There was plenty of talk of >1000 MHz GPU clock from wannabe insiders at B3d, so I guess this puts a death nail in that secret sauce talk.

To be honest, whether true or not, this seems like shameless pandering to the hardcore.
It may or may not work in convincing fanboys but it certainly isnt going sway preorder numbers. The whole thing seems quite bizarre tbh.

Nope. 352 GFLOPS.
My 40Mhz Warp Engine 68040 addon card was about $1300 on its own. Geez, prices those days...
Nope. 176 gflops.
Where's that number from?
Its from the latte thread. It from our best people.

Hahaha whoa whoa whoa. I was just poking fun at the people pointing out that CBOAT only leaked negative news, which seems to be true seeing as he knew about this upclock but didn't deign to share.
