GPU is average? lmao, a 7970M=HD7870, so no not average at all

Where has it been said its a 7970m? I must have missed the part where they went into detail about the parts of the console.

Very few things were said hardware-wise. Eight core CPU was mentioned, customised gpu as far as I can remenber.

The only thing they said was very likely wrong. The guy said something like "CPU plus GPU on the same die". What he probably meant was a SOC type design (chips on the same _chip carrier_). As AMD doesn't make eight core processors, the CPU likely is two quad core Jaguar CPUs with interconnecting glue logic on one die, and the GPU on the other die (supposedly the GPU is heavily customised as the presenter also hinted). The next XBox probably uses the same CPU assembly or each of the two competitors added their own glue logic wishes. As the Jaguar is not exactly a high end cpu. the design of the glue logic probably decides who has the better cpu in the end. Apparently the Jaguar scales much better when overclocked than previous AMD processors, either Sony or MS could turn that screw a little to "win".

Expensice stuff in the end. I'd guess $529 for a full PS4 and $449 for a "light" version..

I know, I just wanted to know where Turkish got his nonsense from.

As for the CPU plus GPU on the same die bit, won't the Jaguar have an integrated GPU?

 

And the latest rumours suggest $430 for the base model and $530 for the premium model.


Its not nonsense, the rumor of 7970M is the same one that said PS4 would have a Share button, touchpad, 8 core cpu and 4GB GDDR5 ram, so yes in all probability the 7970M rumor is also true.
