IMPRESSIVE

I know 2 CUs are disabled for better yields but yields of the R270x are great so I think they could just aswell enabled them. I'm also quite disappointed we're not seeing a 850-900MHz clock speed on the GPU seeing how full load temperatures are pretty low.

This could be what happens if the open platforms get their stuff together (get rid of Windows basically ). AMD has revealed Puma, the successor to Jaguar which is twice as powerful in the same power envelope. GPU development seems to be slowed down my slow nodes (28nm since 2011), but are dropping in price fast. The R9 290 which is literally more than twice as powerful as the PS4 (40CUs, 64ROPs and 4.8TF vs the PS4 with 16CUs, 32ROPs and 1.8TF) is $399. Not too shabby for playing 30fps PS4 games at 60+. It has twice as big of a memory interface (512bit) which makes the GDDR5 memory even faster

Not biting until more confirmation. Why are Sony so hushed if true?

 

[Cade]

Check your PM.

Ooh, this is juicy.

 

[The Omega Man]

Megaton if true. Scared about overheating issues though.

I don't think they just randomly upped the clock, engineers probably saw they had a little it more room temperature wise and performance wise and they went for it. after heavily testing the console under heavy gaming/load.

 

[cebri.one]

I'd say not true, Sony doesn't need to OC its system as is not lagging behing like the XBO, so no need for that.

 

[Barack Lesnar]

this appears to be a speculation article from october?

Are you okay, man? someone please debunk this info ASAP so my man over here can breathe a sigh of relief

Spoiler

it's probably not true

 

[Moral Panic]

Tell us more

I don't know it for sure, but on the balance of probabilities then yea I don't believe it to be true. it's like if someone said PS4 had a 40% failure rate.

 

[waypoetic]

It means reviewers can add another point to all the launch title scores! Hurrar!

Or they can just do it like this:

InFamous : Second Son is a great game. The story is great, the gameplay is great and the characters are great.
It's maybe a little short, but, the PS4 has a 1.8Ghz overclocked CPU.

We give the game a 10 out of 10.

Lolol. Wow seriously.

 

[McHuj]

Didn't the Sony guy at the AMD presentation earlier this week already say its 1.6?

 

[fierrotlepou]

What does this mean in terms of performance?

 

[Xplatformer]

I don't know why everyone is so happy about this. This is the reason 40% of all shipped PS4s are broken.

And that will be worked out by March 2014...when I get my console.

But PS4 has 40% failure rate.

 

[inherendo]

We might still yet. These GPU's run cool already. I'd really like to see Sony drop that bomb in about a year.

"Oh btw we just upclocked the GPU 100-150 mhz. Enjoy, everyone!"

a 15%, or whatever the frequency is on the SoC, upclock on a gpu is pretty high and is probably not common.

Yeah, but there are always oversights. Like the weak rubber on the controller, the HDMI thing, etc etc. You can't possibly test for everything under all conditions.

I'll take this with a grain of salt, it seems pretty sketchy. We need some confirmation.

 

[infinityBCRT]

I'd be surprised if this is true because in those BF4 digitalfoundry performance comparison videos, when heavy physics based stuff was happening, Xbox One did maintain a higher framerate than PS4 (suggesting that the Xbox One CPU was faster).

 

[Vizzeh]

But PS4 has 40% failure rate.

Is this based on evidence? as if not, I would say thats an over the top figure

 

[jayu26]

First of all, Sony doesn't need to do this. Secondly if they did they would be shouting from the rooftops.

But PS4 has 40% failure rate.

Get a life...

Link?

You haven't controlled for other factors... EG the differing resolutions etc..
