I suppose you know most of this data is fake dont you ? The RSX has 550mhz not 500Mhz ,the polygon count cant be determined for any of the architechtures ,etc etc ... Just look at your source .Pathetic attempt boy . |
Apart from the 50MHz difference, what else is fake in terms of specifications? |
Originally the RSX was going to be clocked at 550mhz, but the clock was cut back due to cost/time constraints. The memory also took a clock hit. I don't feel like linking to this, but tons has been writen on this and it's been reported on everything from major gaming sites to beyond 3d. |
Thats only FUD against the machine .If you look at the specs in the pages of IGN or Gamespot or Gamepro the RSX is still at 550mhz .Please stop using rumours of 9 months ago ,never confirmed ,as if they were facts .Nvidia has said clearly the RSX can do 100 billion SOPS ,and that amount can only be achievable at 550mhz at less it would be less than that .Its crazy how the bad rumours about the PS3 spread withut any evidence ....I suppose thats what happen when there are some millions of people around the internet WILLLING those to be true and one company known for its FUD against the rivals churning them out as fast as it can . |
Diomodes, it's well known by those in the know that RSX was downgraded to 500mhz. Also the memory was downgraded from 700 to 650 as well, which has also been mentioned in this thread. Developers on Beyond3d confirmed all of this, in a hush hush manner since such things are under NDA and devs aren't allowed to talk about them openly. As well as Xbdestroya/Carl B who works at PSInext (which is a PS3 website, btw) and knows the PS3 hardware well. IGN/whatever are just using old specs from Sony if they still list RSX@550. The proof is, try to find any official specs from Sony (aka, on a sony owned website for example) that have RSX@550. When they made the downgrade Sony simply stopped listing the clockspeed of RSX on any official spec sheets. Of course they're not going to make a press release "hey we downgraded RSX". But in a way, it's as big a proof as any. The official Sony.com spec sheets do not list any clockspeeds any longer: http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/About/TechnicalSpecifications Here are whatever semi-official stories I could find about this: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33995 Wiki lists RSX@500mhz: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSX_'Reality_Synthesizer' Here's yet another confirmation: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/game/docs/20060925/3d_tgs.htm Watch.impress may not mean anything to you but they're an EXTREMELY respected Japanese site. I could go on and on but it's getting stormy here.. |
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3#System_configuration Here it states that rsx is 550 mhz. Which makes me believe that wikipedia has inaccurate news. And what is up with you posting theinquierer? That is so wrong and so dumb I won't discuss it. First of a |
Dude RSX is 500.
Did you ignore the watch.impress article? A highly technically minded site that interviews many developers and that gets info straight from the source, Japan? If anybody would know PS3 specs, it is them.
Also, so you believe one wiki article but not the other? I would rather tend to believe the article specific to the RSX than the overall system article which probably contains many other errors.
Developers are the ones who know the RSX clockspeed, and I am sure they are the ones who put the correct info in the RSX wiki.
Liike I said, find me a current Sony source that says 550. Right around the time of the change Sony mysteriously stopped listing RSX clockspeeds in any official capacity. Coincidence? Originally Sony published the 550 spec around e3, which is the outdated info many sites still have. Now Sony does not claim any clockspeed on RSX publically. Again, ask yourself why? Are there any PS3 developer interviews where devs are saying RSX=550? Can you link me? If it's really 550 should be no prob right? No, because AFAIK Sony has that info under NDA, and they're not allowed to speak about it. Xbox 360 on the other hand, MS has been loud and proud of the specs from day one.
http://www.xbox.com/en-us/support/connecttolive/xbox360/resources/consolespecs.htm
MS lists 360 clocks on their official website to this day. Sony does not, they would rather hide the clocks. Coincidence?
Sony was aiming for 550, but apparantly they did not make it. Could be lots of reason (heat? yield?). It's even entirely possible that they didn't feel they had the bandwidth to make any use of 550 anyway. In the grand scheme of thing it probably didn't even make much difference, and hey, Cell did hit the 3.2ghz that was promised,
