Yep. What timing too!

But that is the only thing that mater in a GAMING console. So if you think about it, its the perfect move.Graphics performance, yes, but for everything else, AMD are incredibly behind Intel in terms of pretty much everything else.
Yea cause it wont be a 7970 in it.
So if PS4 had a 1.8 TF GPU but 2GB RAM, presumably GDDR5. Durango as rumored had a 1-1.5 TF GPU and 8GB RAM, albeit slower DDR3, that would be well, pretty interesting how it would turn out in practice and which would have better looking games.
I'm guessing third parties wouldn't love the massive RAM disparity there for porting.

Nothing about this rumor really suggests much more than $400 worth of tech.
I just wish this site would leak this supposed document it has.
How do you know this?Everything is correct. They just used the wrong name for the GPU. It's comparable to an underclocked Pitcairn.

These specs are underwhelming. How credible are they? Also, how credible is the casual 1.5GB figure for WiiU ram?
Too many chips.These specs are pretty nice. Even though 2gb gddr5 should be goo enough, I'd like for them to push for 4 gb gddr5. Memory is one thing try can't go wrong on this cycle.
I never said it was. Even if it was one hypothetically in there, price of the gpu and ram alone wouldn't be the barrier.

even the code-name Liverpool & 16GB of flash?
How do you know this?
How do you know? How does it compare with the 720?

I did want a 2tflop console but I wouldn't really call this underwhelming. And 1.5 GBs is about what most of the rumors say so.

Yeah Intel is king but you probably wouldn't notice it at 1080p in a blind test. The kind of processor most need for gaming nowadays is really overblown.
Stupid question coming up.
Why are the companies so hesitant to put more RAM like the devs want? Isn't RAM pretty cheap these days?

The GPU is an ATI r10xx at 800MHz with 1843 GFLOPS, this is code-named "Tahiti." This chip is also include on AMD Radeon HD 7970, both chips (CPU and GPU) are 28nm processors.
RAM is pretty cheap, even GDDR5. However, with current tech, you would need 16 chips for 4GB, which increases board complexity. On the other hand, since the consoles are expected to be out in late 2013, 4 GB should be doable by then with 8 chips.Stupid question coming up.

You vouch for a 7970!?I can't vouch for the codename or the flash unfortunately, so everything other than that.

He couches for something with the same core underlying tech. Underclocked?You vouch for a 7970!?
He's vouching for an 1.8 TFlop AMD GPU. Which is not extraordinary.You vouch for a 7970!?
Well sure, if they want to cheap out. I can understand not going with 16 chips as a physical limitation. Not using 8 though is just weak.That's only if it's cheap enough to do so.
Any new tech does come with increased cost. If the costs outweigh the benefits they could still go with the lower maximum.
Because the RAM they use is not the same as the ram in your computer. Your computer uses DDR3 RAM, which is slower, but is cheaper. Game consoles, where speed is necessary, they use GDDR5, which is leaps and bounds faster, and is the same type of memory utilised in GPU's.
I imagine Sony fans looking like this whilst reading these rumours.

Well, PCs use both. The actual 7970 has 3GB of GDDR5 ram on board.

Yes, but it was the assumption that the 4gb of RAM in your standard laptop is the same as the one in your GPU or the same in a game console, which is what I believe he was asking about.
Too many chips.
Something like 16 RAM chips would be needed.
That's a really complex board.
A fuckton more bruteforce. But lacking in memory in comparison to Durango, but much much faster.
I like more console oriented designs than what I've read of Durango.
Then they should all just cheap out and go with DDR3 for maximum RAMMING.The thing is, even if it is faster, the problem might not really be in the speed of the ram, but the quantity. In the end, are all the developers going to fine tune their games to maximize the efficiency of RAM usage or just stuff the channels?
Oh but I can. 360 launched at 299 with 8 high-end (at the time) RAM chips. So unless they target a launch price below that (which I seriously doubt) I'll call anything less than 8 chips for unified RAM cheapening out.You can't really say it would be cheaping out.

No the real issue here is abandoning CELL. When for years we were being told CELL was the future of all things. And that CELL would be in everything from televisions to toasters.
I trust Sony engineers not to put their DVD drive where they need to cool their GPU. And either way, I don't see them targeting a 299 launch price.And it cost MS $2 billion.
Does Sony have that to piss away?

599 US DOLLARS
599 US clams
were are the linksto these latest next gen specs since a console with 8gb is blowing my mind right now
