| HoloDust said: Well, 7970m (which is mobile, slightly downclocked version of HD 7870) is rated at 75W (though some sources state up to 100W). Now how they achieve that in mobile versions of their chips has always eluded me. But if that is correct number, CPU+GPU would give (95+75) TDP of 170W. Which I think would put it (when all other stuff is added) well within bounds of original Xbox360. But yeah, as you said, I wouldn't bet on 7970/680 equivalent inside any next-gen console. |
