Can someone please explain to me, as if talking to a 10 year old, what this latest bit actually mean? This polaris stuff...

Basically Polaris is the current family of GPUs AMD have and what's being said is that manufacturing has been improved and refined so that they can get these GPUs to perform with much lower power usage, they apparently can now get around 6Tf of performance from 95W so you can picture how low power usage 2.5-3.6Tf has. Power usage is a big issue for both home consoles and portable devices causing overheating and also draining the battery for portable devices.

This means they're viable to be used in consoles and even mobile devices, the report says the new revised GPUs are now being rolled out in the embedded market (things like motherboards and consoles etc...) so they're already available for use.

Cool, so this would be perfect for consoles, and especially HH? I read some of that thread, and this only seem to be a rumor so far? This could turn out to be bogus? All we've been hearing so far is that Nintendo will be using Nvideas tegra X1 or something like that, no?



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.
