| Viper1 said: Much more capable than the PS3/X360. The R700 series is DX 10.1 compliant (though it says revamped so it may be up to 11 spec or that may refer to the manufacturing process which would allow for faster speeds and less heat). It would also push about 2-3 times the Gpixel fill rate (depending the on model it's based on) of the PS3.. CPU wise, depends on if it's still based on the same POWER generation as the Xenon CPU or if uses Power6 or Power7 generation. If it uses the latter 2, much better performance. |
Im sure they would do well even if its just the same design with 2MB of cache and out of order execution for the CPU. As for the GPU at this point I figure the best bet is the RV740. Im sure with better GDDR5 interface design and a little of the fixed function stuff removed as well as improvements in the 40nm process they could get that design well under 120mm^2 and into a reasonable thermal envelope.
Tease.
