| Tachikoma said: The 3.2ghz 3 core PPC Xenon offers more raw power than the 1.24ghz 3 core PPC 'Espresso', despite the newer architecture in the 'Epresso' processor, and the performance outlay of the two 500mhz ATI gpus used in both isn't all that different, either, the WiiU's gpu is 50mhz faster but in being strapped to the cpu with much slower clock speed the overall result is that on a power to power scale, despite the technological advancements in the hardware used, the 360 still scrapes just ahead in power but benefits greatly by the much more unified and extensively documented graphical platform, and much more advanced functionality offered by it's SDK. Earlier comment that the GPU is 1.5-2x more powerful is just wrong. |
So Nintendo made it's system too hard to utilize and dramatically underclocked it? That thing has a terribly low TPD. It sounds like all they were concerned about was the second screen being able to work properly and placing themselves in last gen game power spectrum to serve as a the cheaper platform like they did with the Wii. At least there are more versatile engines out there so they can maintain 3rd party support.
Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
