I still fondly remember those days when lot of us where hoping they would go with 4850 or equivalent (5750 for example)...if they went with that (and GDDR5 of course), WiiU would be some 1.6x weaker than XOne and around 2.35x weaker than PS4, so though still weakest of 3, it would be definitely, spec-wise, next gen, which would mean much easier porting to it and better 3rd party support. |
The die shots already debunked any conception it was a Radeon 4xxx series!!! Even before the die shots the 4xxx series was more power hungry than what Nintendo planned for the system thus it made no sense to use the 4xxx as the basis for Latte. Even comparison to Evergreen isn't even accurate as the GPU is highly customized. Thus even if Evergreen was the basis it wouldn't matter as the chip is heavily modified.
