no it's still @ 550

On Nvidia forums =/= "straight from Nvidia". Anyone can post there.
Doing a few searches, it looks pretty even split between 550 and 500MHz. The 550 number was posted first but then it was news that it was downclocked to 500. I haven't seen technical evidence either way; spec sheets don't count as they could be pre-downclock.
|
since the spec's were finalized on the 90 nm scale as 550 Mhz,the PS3's production when it's finalized is and was 550 Mhz. that rumor that the clock speed was reduced to 500 Mhz was just that a rumor. while Nvidia has alway's stated it wasat 550 Mhz. Nvidia publicaly stated it was @ 550 Mhz
|
It wasn't a rumor, Sony said it themselves (albeit 'privately' to development partners) around TGS 2006 and Game Watch leaked the story (which western media basically ignored in favor of old spec sheets). VRAM speed also got a downclock from 700 MHz to 650 MHz and there may have also been a reduction in pixel shaders (from 32 to 24). Neither Sony nor Nvidia made any direct statements after the TGS leak afaik?

no that's in ref. to the dev. kit..not the PS3
the dev. kit's GPU was 500 MHz!
|
That... doesn't actually make sense. You can't have a slower clocked devkit (especially with memory speeds). If anything, most devkits actually use upclocked RAM (and more of it) for prototyping.
|
28 pixel shaders (4 redundant, 24 active) at 550Mhz
|
Actual developers seem to say otherwise. Repeatedly.
|
what developer's...for Microsoft?..lol
that formum in many case are just making a guess ...i know i visit that forum quite a bit.
come on now it's a forum..just like this one!
you know as well as i do that you can over clock just about any chip right?
the fact that just because a chip is rated at 550 Mhz does not mean you have to use it at that speed, as a matter of fact that the less speed you use the over all cooler the system will run!
where have we seen Sony do this before..o'l yea the PSP! i just gave you an example
their DEV kit's was rated at 500 MHz because that's what sony Had in the Kit's!
like the PSPGo's processor was increased over the PSP, but yet the game's are still coded to the PSP slim and older model's.
