| SxyxS said: power efficiency to be the main target for next gen?I don't think so. with power efficience you won't sell new consoles when the graphics look only slightly better than current gen and there would be no real need for some new chips.By optimizing the ps360 cpu/gpu and more transistors you may reach twice the power and power efficiency of the current gen and you can keep most of the ps360 production facilities=no need for this amd mobile chip. the only interessting thing;if this mobile chip is really more powerful than the wii u than its big brother(immobile pc chip)could be a very powerful monster and very useful for the next gen. |
Absolutely false.
There is no where near as much in the change in power as their is in the change of technologies available. They will be similar to the WiiU in that they are relatively small power upgrades, but also like the WiiU they will add a lot of new technologies (DX11 similar stuff) as well as newer architecture that will allow bigger changes on items that are not as apparent as simple visual fluff.
Theres a lot more to a game than just pretty pictures.
Additionally, once these consoles come out ... where do you think all the new games will go, and thus the buyers of new consoles. One truth always remains.... if your only focus is the best possible graphics, then why the hell do you game on a console?
