Efficient yes it hardly takes any power despite being on a 40/45nm fabrication process (not 28nm like ps4/xbone) that's why the gpu can't be 352 gflops as it simply isn't consuming the power required. I've got a wii u, ps3 and 360 and its easy to see overall the wii u is struggling due to its very low cpu resources. Most games look and play better on ps3 and 360 compared to wii u. Not all of course some games with lower cpu requirements which allow the superior gpu to shine give the wii u an advantage but most games do require reasonable cpu performance. I actually like the idea of the NX cpu being more powerful. Even if the games visually end up being the same or even lower resolution with a few missing graphic features if the same game has more going on in the game world thanks to greater cpu performance that would be good. I'd rather play Skyrim with more people in the game world, more birds, more plants animation than see an anti-aliased tree. |
I think as many have discussed on Neogaf at great lengths. Leaks of Nintendo putting a more capable cpu in the NX is a great sign, because these new crop of consoles are all about efficient but limited cpu's coupled with more powerful gpu's. So if the NX is already excepted to have a more powerful cpu than XbOne and PS4, it should be a given that Nintendo would put a much stronger gpu in the system as well. My biggest concern comes from the RAM setup that Nintendo will choose for the NX and the internal hdd storage they choose. Since bandwidth will be the key to the system being truly capable over the long run. Everything will need to come together and communicate with as few bottlenecks as possible.
