| Baron said: The 360 and PS3 are based on 7 year old technology, you'd have to be an utter moron to think today's technology can't deliver more power with a smaller power envelope. Like I proved already the 5570 has a TDP of 39 Watt, the 2600 XT a TDP of 50 Watt. Yet the 5570 is mutliple times faster. |
5570 is made with 40nm channel lenght transistors. 2600 XT on 65nm. That's a huge difference, three manufacturing nodes (65nm->55nm->45nm->40nm), the same chip made with the same number of transistors would be on 40nm tech only a 38% of the size of a 65nm chip, (without taking into consideration pad limited chips) and that's why you have more performance with lower TDP. Do you understand it or need a diagram?
Actual X360 and PS3s are made on 45nm, WiiU uses 45nm for the proccesor and 40nm for the graphics chip. It doesn't have the manufacturing advantage.
Regarding good airflow, look at the WiiU size, and tell me that you can have good airflow on a box of that size without screaming fans. I have a 15.4 gaming laptop with a TDP of 70W and even with undervolt on the proccesor and graphics chip it's a f*cking overcraft when I play games, both fans scream like there is no tomorrow, so don't tell me how a laptop has good and silent airflow, because it's impossible. You have good imagination, I'm realistic and I don't expect miracles.
