Zappykins said: Actually, in both reveals they say exactly the number of transistor equivalents (basically the size of the chip). You can watch the reveal on youtube if you want. Sony was very happy with what they announced. The chip on the Xbox One is one of the largest ever made. Some people do claim the largest mass produced, but I think that is stretching it bit, as there is another giant one from AMD. It many ways though it doesn't matter what I say, cause if it's not praising a certain thing, people will jump all over me. Funny, when I said things like, "cool 8GB GDDR5 RAM" people just ignored or praised me. But when I say, "Wow, Microsoft has made some truly amazing tech." I get called ignorant and bias. Anyway, November 22, 2013 should be a most interesting day! |
Sony didn't revealed the size... MS revealed the size just two weeks ago... 363mm²... that didn't put it even close to largest chips (I think Fermi for desktops was the biggest with 502mm²).
The Sony ship have ~3 billion transistiors... MS one have ~5 billion transistors... CPUs are identical, GPU is bigger on Sony side, eSRAM have close to 2 billion transistors on MS side, the co-processors on Xbone are around the different size of GPUs... so the biggest difference is the eSRAM.
MS chip without eSRAM could have close 3 billion transistors too.
PS. I expect a chip close to 250mm² from Sony... we didn't have the size yet.
