| bonzobanana said: I remember the wii u and at the beginning it was claimed to be 700 Gflops or more and then we got a technical breakdown of the hardware and it could either be 352 Gflops or 176 Gflops and in the end it was confirmed as 176 Gflops below that of both Xbox 360 and PS3. In fact many games on those systems ran better than wii u, higher resolutions, higher frame rates, much better sound etc despite the wii u launching much later. At this point I don't see how the portable performance figures given can be true based on the fabrication process and small capacity battery so I'm expecting a reset on those figures at some point. I'm expecting them to be well under 1 Teraflop in real terms. |
Yeah, there was a lot of guessing involved back in pre-WiiU days. I remember folks hoping for 4770/4850 level performance, which is ~1TFLOPS - which would be reasonable, and not that expensive, since it was fairly old at that point. Then there were some leaks that it was E6760, which put it around 576GFLOPS, bnut newer architecture than 4000 series. Then WiiU released, indeed based on 4000 series, but power-wise it was very disappointing (saying this as someone who still has it hooked to TV due to few coop games that are not available/possible on other systems).
I don't think situation with SW2 is similar - pretty much everything was leaked and then confirmed, both specifications and clocks.
