| Mr Khan said: My thoughts were that we were moving away from separate GPUs entirely and moving towards integrated chipsets. I imagine that Sony is at least going to have the CELL pull the whole workload for PS4 like it was originally intended to do for PS3, and certainly not to multi-GPU rendering. |
I honestly don't see that happening.
I mean...sure they can try that and spend billions of dollars in developing a CPU which has the ability to substitute a GPU. In the meantime, xbox720 will just phone ATI and have them deliver a current gen GPU.
I think Sony has learned their lesson with the PS3 and all the money they lost. I read that cell's yield rate when they started making PS3s was somewhere around 25%...with 75% of the chips being a waste. And this is with the downgraded cell processor which is missing one of the SPEs...
