Rumor: PS4 Gets Unequalled Graphics

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.

 

 

TBDR mean tile Based dereffered Rendering. That is some technology which makes rendering processes easier and does need less Gpu Power for the same result. Dont know how it exactly works it divides the Picture in Tiles and the rendering needs there for lesser calculation.

 

 

They are talking definetly from the PS4 NOT from the PSP2. Thats for sure. They say that the PSP 2 will use a weaker PowerVR Chip. 

They just explained that the Company licenced their technonology on Apple and Nokia and Nec ant they are using it in the Mobile Phones but I read during the 90s they were important.They lost marketshare because of OpenGL and Direct3d which prefered Nivdia and Ati.

This technology is not new and has a great potential.

 

I am sceptical if this is just a rumor or if this is substantial news.

Dont ROFL to much and wait until its time for the new consoles to release.
