And an HD7770 or so sounds about right for a console. I think the PS3 will probably be a little bit stronger in terms of hardware but i SERIOUSLY doubt it will be a 7900 series GPU. For $400 or so its just NOT happening not when you have to factor in all the other hardware. POSSIBLY a low/medium 7800 series but i doubt much more than that. |
The Orbis GPU is a 7900M, like those in gaming laptops, roughly equal to a 7850 or only a bit stronger... and honestly the chips themselves aren't that expensive, I'd be surprised if they cost even close to, say, $125, which is about what the RSX costed last gen, and it's die size back then was bigger than a 7970M, apparently.
And the Jaguar architecture don't go above 2.2 GHz anyways, I'm sure Sony and MS know what they are doing with their CPUs.
