Hmm afte this artikle the PS3 gets a GPU not from Nvidia and not from ATI but from IMGTEC. They said the PowerVR chip with the TBDR technology was the reason why the DC had so extremly good Graphics back in 1998. And they said that for the PSP2 they will use IMGTEC too but it will be a 5XTseries chip while the PS4 gets a high End 6 series chip with unknown specs. They said the IMGTEC chip has a special technology called TBDR and this means the IMGTEC Chip can have 3.5 times the power of a same sized Ati/Nvida chip despite it will have the same costs. They said that the PS3 GPU was the weak spot of the PS3. But the Cell is such a powerful beast that it makes up the weakness from the GPU.

Would it be a good decision to go for IMGTEC instead of Nvidia/Ati ?

And is this TBDR Technology really that good that it can beat comparable Ati/Nvdia chips with a faktor of 3.5 ?

 

TBDR Technology anyone know what the TBDR mean? The only thing I can think of is: to be determined.
