| Intrinsic said: People need to get this straight. The PS4 "GPU" is 18CUs @1.8+TF. PS4k "GPU" 36CUs @ 4.1TF (more compute units and higher clock) XB1 GPU is 12CUs @ 1.2+TF If the XB1.5 GPU is going to be 6TF it would need to be packing 56 compute units!!!!!! the ONLY card AMD has that has that many compute units is the R9 Fury. And that "GPU" costs $550. $550. And we have not even started talking about the CPU. I think some people need to get a little realistic. |
$550 at a very high mark up, that's the retail cost after manufacturing and retail profit margins are factored in, the GPU itself probably costs in the range of $300-$350 or so to manufacture (w/RAM) today, also MS would surely be getting a sweeter deal than that as they order these parts in the millions.
Factor in that MS is not launching for another 1 1/2 years almost too, R9 Fury will be two years old by the time XBox 2 launches.
This will likely be based on Polaris 14nm tech @6 TFLOPS.
