Reads "CPU and GPU confirmed"

Then reads "The CPU is an IBM Power-based multi-core processor. The GPU is an AMD Radeon-based High Definition GPU"

Fuck you!

Hey, don't kill the messenger!

It's almost confirmed that it is indeed more powerful than PS3/360. Even the launch games and 3rd party ports look better than the PS3/360 games.

LOL! You seriously think that, Pezus? They showed almost nothing...

If it's based in 7xxx series ATI cards, which means this gen's cards. It's almost certain to be more powerful than the PS3 and Xbox 360. Even the mainstream 7xxx cards piss all over an nVidia 7800GT which is tech inside PS3 (although gimped further in PS3) and about SIX GENERATIONS AHEAD

Geforce 7xxx

Geforce 8xxx

Gefore 1xx (debatable if genuine generation as tech was a frankenstein of 8 series technology)

Geforce 2xx

Geforce 4xx

Geforce 5xx

Geforce 6xx = AMD or ATI 7xxx series.

 

Six generations.

 

Almost impossible to be slower than PS3 or 360. GPU makes up the majority of how good a game looks CPU doesn't count for much where we are these days.

It says it's based on AMD R7xx not the 7000 series. R7xx gpu's are AMD 4000 series.
