The 8core PP7 has a die size around 560mm^2. Needles to see that a 16core PP7 does not exist. It's a four cores 4 threaded die = 16 threads, not 16 cores. And Kinect2 quite probably requires one core/thread and the on-die GPU to process the images. Image size will at least quadruple from the measly 320*200 Kinect images we have now if they want to have GAMES on their NextBox. |
The NeoGaf thread explained it better than I did, but it sounds like a SoC x2.
