PS4 Neo GPU Is Point-For-Point A Match For RX 480

This also means they re useing a cheap chip with high power effeciency.

At 14nm FinFET this chip clocked at 911mhz probably wont generate all that much heat.
The 1200mhz+ version of the RX 480 is probably around 135watts (with a 150w limit)
At 911mhz clock speed, it ll be under 100watts for the GPU.

The chasis for the PS4 might not have to change too much.
Basically the new PS4 neo could end up looking much like the older model (same small form factor).

Actually if what AMD said during its conference is true, RX 480 uses around 90-95W when gaming. Yeah.

Damn, this GPU is the biggest gamechanger in the game industry since... I dunno... introducing HD? It causes a massive earthquake!! The PC market is holding its breath, while all 3 console manufacturers are changing their consoles mid-gen for the first time ever. All because of a $199 card... Damn it, AMD! You sure did well.

The only bad thing about it is - I was planning to buy this GPU and be happy for years to come, but if in a matter of months it's going to be the go-to console GPU, it means PC will soon need something beefier... RX 480X minimum. At least I hope AMD GPUs will be perfectly optimized for games from now on.
