In terms of raw power, numerous sources tell me that NX is much closer to Xbox One than PlayStation 4. Even that might be stretching it a tiny bit. Anyone who is claiming that NX is “two times the power of PS4 GPU” is being misled by their sources. Based on what I’ve heard, I don’t believe the NX will compete directly with PS4 (Neo) / PS4K in raw power. There will be plenty of debates over the NX’s specs because it’s not simple to directly compare two apples (with x86 architecture) to an orange (that doesn’t use x86 architecture). But everything that I’ve heard (so far) indicates that NX isn’t the PS4K competitor that some Nintendo fans are hoping for. |
Look at her play on words. Raw power/specs is different from performance. Number of shaders, compute units etc is rthe aw power. Now the performance rating of polaris is double, so if NX is closer or even weaker on paper as Emily implies (being a "stretch") with the raw numbers, it will still out perform the older tech. 10-12 cu,
Also look at how she mentions the ps4k competitor part, but that is a 4+ tf console. Its obvious Emily is arguing about Polaris 10, even though most people are talking about polaris 11. The polaris 10 (5+ tf) is the ridiculous rumor IMO.
Nothing has changed really, other than her shooting down the super ambitoius PS4k competitor claims. I am in supermetal64's Polaris 11 + arm camp unless proven otherwise.
