2x Denver2 cores are nVidia chips. |
Fatslob is the last person you need to remind them of that.

It would have a weaker CPU than the PS4 but not by a lot if it used a quad core combination of A57s, the CPU wouldn't be a serious issue or bottleneck to developers. But check post update, A72's are back on the table. |
The thing with the PS4 is that, although on a per-core basis it is roughly equal/maybe even slightly worse performing than the A57 on a Core to Core + Clock for clock basis... The Playstation 4 gets away with the fact it simply has more cores to play with.
But with the A57 clocked at 1ghz, no doubt in my mind that a 1.6ghz Jaguar Core can soundly beat it.
| JRPGfan said: IPC (instructions pr clock) are in the same neighborhood performance wise (supposedly). With half the cores, and half the clock speeds, your looking at something like 1/4th the CPU power. Maybe its more than that? closer to half the performance of the PS4/XB1 in terms of CPU. Its still weak though. |
Jaguar should be a little worse in IPC.
| fleischr said: For GPUs, yeah he really meant that. He mentions nVidia... Not saying he's right - but all things considered when Tegra X1 launched in 2015 it was significantly better than 360/PS3 in terms of raw GPU performance. |
Volta based Tegra should be competitive with the Xbox One.
| Flilix said: What do CPU and these other things mean? I mean, I know what a CPU is, but what does a weak CPU mean in practice? |
The most visible things would be...
less complex and sophisticated Artificial Intelligence.
It means less CPU-based Physics calculations. (Think cloth or leaves waving in the wind.)
It makes CPU driven effects such as Anti-aliasing, less likely. (Nintendo is allergic to using Anti-Aliasing anyway.)
There is a ton more to it though.
