So there is no real reason to put a strong GPU in it (the GPUs in the A10 still are totally ram-limited in most cases). For consoles you can design the GPU around the available ram (that's also one point you may change in your opening posts: just because all rumored GPUs use GDDR5 that doesn't mean anything on the matter which kind of ram the consoles will use. There's no real problem using DDR3 if you have a large enough bus width). AMD could design a special GPU for PS4s APU which can be a lot more powerful than the 7660D. Ram in in PCs is (usually) limited to dual channel, but in a console you can run as many ram chips parallel as you want. |
That's means my B option...
B) The A10 APU is not a 7660D... it's anything new.
I agree the APU have to be way better than 7660D.
