Just asking but is he really stating anything that isn't just part of the AMD GNC GPU. So far I believe we all know it has compute units which can offload CPU task to the GPU. This is nothing new about the system at least from reading the blurb.

GNC can't do that how PS4 GPU can... in GNC you have a lower queue pipeline and ACE... so if you want to perform both taks (compute and graphics) at the same time you need to wait one or other finish.

PS4 GPU added more 6 queue pipelines and 6 ACEs.. 8:8 compared to 2:2 on GNC... so if you want to execute compute and graphics at the same time you have units to make this happen.

That the two ACEs units in GNC.

PS4 have 8.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up.  That should mean that the GPU can perform both graphics and Compute functions at the same time, how does this effect processing.  In other words, will graphics take a hit if you are using the compute units at the same time or vice versa.  I know in the past this was a problem for AMD chips.
