If that were true, why would they have already apportioned a 16x86x64 sideline aperature bus? That only interfaces with EDrGFLOP crossfades, and even THAT'S only if they go 'old-school' with it and take the dRAM cache-overflow route with their vDRAW subroutines. Do you really think they'll bank the next five years of graphics on old-school overflow drawtimes?

Surely that costs more money?

Not as much money as a failed system with no ports. Mark my words: they are going to have a full, streamlined SDAT function-processor, which can run Dolby ATMOS and full-fledged, unpackaged RIP files, straight from the SSD. It's the only explanation behind the 16x86x64 boards they've already ordered.
