This is like 2013 all over again isnt it?

"the console wars, begun they have"

PS4 neo = rumored 4.2 Tflops.
Xbox one ii = rumored 5.28 Tflops (4x xb1 (1.32) = 5.28)

Xbox to be slightly more powerfull, but maybe a year late to the party.
Also means this generation is gonna be really long.
Wont be a real Xbox Two or Playstation 5, until like 2020-21.

I wonder if this confirms the rumor that a slim version of the current designs is not economically viable, at least not in the long run. Will this compact design if the XBox One simply be a more efficiently organized model with the current 28nm apu, or did they actually manage to make a 20nm xbox one apu.

It seems both Sony and MS are switching to 14nm finfet apus and use the opportunity to reboot the 8th gen. It's going to be a long gen indeed. Looks like the NX is right on time. Maye we should we call it the 9th gen starting with NEO in September. Sucks to be a developer in the 8.5th gen, 5 hardware specs to support, 2 of which don't add any potential sales, and vr options as well. Plus who knows what special requirements Nintendo has up its sleeves this time.

I think the "slim" version of the Xbox One is still running on 28nm.

Its just better designed than the original version, which is a huge beast looking box, thats pretty oversized.

 

NX right on time? its rumored to be only slightly faster than the original xbox one.

They are again almost a "gen" of hardware behinde, right from the start.

Still that shouldnt impact them that much, because the other two, will still need games made to run on those weaker versions as well.

If anything I think NX chances of getting multiplats back, are better this gen.

 

Yeah times will get abit tougher for developers, not as much as you probably think though.

Like how on PCs how theres just option settings in games, Im thinking most of the "differnce" between the older and newer versions will just be like that.

Newer versions will just have slightly larger draw distances, AA/AF, higher base resolution ect, which probably isnt as much work as youd think.

 

The VR thing, is basically just setting the head movement to be the camra movement.

 

Im hyped for E3 :)  shame about nintendo lack of presence there this year though : (
