GPU could be out-of-the-box, the processor modified for increased memory throughput (a third memory controller would do the job, come to think of it...) PS4: AMD A10 APU, dedicated additional GPU. Conventional memory structure. If they chose to operate PS4 in quasi XFire, the second GPU would be another HD7660. XFire only works reasonably if both GPUs are equal power. And a more complex memory structure since we now have three "equal processors" fighting for the address bus. My solution would be an A10 APU with separate HD7770 GPU (separate meaning it has its own 1G of GDDR5 ram) with 4GB of CPU dram. <snip of personal boasting :P) |
Now demonstrate how those scenarios would equal out in estimated cost and estimated wattage. I like your reasoning, but I think its not realistic.
