AMD has all but said it. But if you gotta wait, you gotta wait. Moral of the story? How about you all approach me with cold hard evidence like I have given you since some of you happen to know what Microsoft has told you that you don't know. Do me that respect besides just saying I am wrong because that's what you believe, no matter the evidence.

Interesting, does that mean the PS4 also has a dGPU and on the 29th we will be getting announcements from both companies.  Man, if that happen it would really throw the forums for a loop.  Now fanboys will be arguing which console has the better dGPU.  I hope this is true and both have a dGPU, things really would get very interesting.

DId not the original rumor state that both the PS4 and X1 had a dGPU but MS part was better.

This is exactly what this means. PS4 and Xbox One are on level with PC's, like they stated (back in March/April/May). AMD has stated that the PS4's APU is the most powerful APU they have ever created, which is better than the Xbox One. However, PS4 only co-designed on the cpu portion of the APU. Microsoft has it's own division inside AMD which they fund majorly. Microsoft has been switching from Nvidia these past few months, which is odd right? I am stating right now, the PS4 has the better APU. But the Xbox One has the better dGPU. So overall performance, Xbox One would come out ontop right?

And if you believe the Russian MisterX, who is only dealing with Xbox One portion of this "rumor" (all but confirmed by now), Xbox One's APU is 1.31 tFLOPS. By his math, which does add up (do it yourself), the dGPU pushes 3.7 tFLOPS of raw power ontop of the 1.31 to add up to 5 tFLOPS of total raw power. However, his source tells him to expect over 1.31 and below 5.3 tFLOPS of raw power. Between those.

Then you think...At E3, Microsoft's games were run on devkits with Nvidia GTX 780 cards. Around 4 tFLOPS of raw power. So we can guesstimate all month. Just wait until September 25th through September 30th for final specs of definitely the Xbox One, possibly the PS4.
