| HappySqurriel said: Just looking at the specs of the APU demonstrates that this rumor is 100% BS ... The A10-5800K (AMD's current top of the line APU) uses 100 Watts of power and is (roughly) 1/3 the processing power of this APU, so either Sony's processor will start fires or the rumor is crap. |
the A10-5800K (3.8 GHz CPU/800MHz GPU) has much more processing power if you include the gpu core, which ofcourse is included in the 100 Watt TDP
at slightly lower frequencies (-400MHz CPU clock/ -40MHz GPU clock) the A10-5700 is a 65Watt TDP chip, so I believe power consumption doesn't scale linear with frequency
edit: looking at your post again I guess you meant the combined chip of 2xJaguar+Liverpool which ofcourse is has a lot more processing power than the A10-5800K
yet the A10 CPU cores are designed for high per core performance, while the Jaguar is especially desgined for low power consumption, so I think that should be fine on a single die togehter with a GPU that might well be based on a mobile GPU chip
after all the high GFlops is single precision calculation, which GPU design of hardware does very very efficiently, but in a real PC double precision performance is just as important and that's where the big CPU cores of the A10 probably outdo this PS4 APU
