| Soundwave said: Speaking of which ... A 36 core Polaris would give you (whataya know) 6.187 TFLOPS. |
That really doesnt mean anything. We also know based on leaks that the PS4neo has a 36core GPU. And if the rumors are true too then its also using polaris.
I am just finding all this a little too hard to believe..... its actually more likely for somy to go from 18 to 36 than it is for MS to go from 12 to 36. And if they are both using 36 then the onoy other possoblilty is that MS is running theirs at a higher clock that what sony is goimg for.
And let's not forget, the reason the PS4 APU could hold 6 more CUs than XB1s was because of the memory system employed. To comoensate for the slow DDR3 ram ms has to put SDram on the die of the APU which took up space. The only way they can have an APU that is idemtical to what the Neo is rumoured to have is of they are doing away with the sdram.... that however stands to break compatibility for every already existing XB1 game, or they get all of them patched to support the new hardware, or they use a memory system so powerful that the new hardware can emulate the sdram...... complicated.
