You mean compare? God knows it doesn't even look like a GPU, it's like opening the hood of your car and finding something that doesn't look like an engine powering it.

surprisingly accurate if it's from June of 2012.



I scrolled entire thread looking for BlueFalcon post. He hasn't posted yet. Some one make sense out of this.

he's a PC person like me, so he'd prolly have the same response as me, this shit is not even in the PC territory, it's too damn customized lol.



So it's too customised to make an accurate estimate, and it's the games that will do the talking?

I could have told you that...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

For now the gaf tech guys are saying the GPU is weaker than the Xenos (360) or RSX (PS3).

That's too weak to be true.

THat is not what anyone who knows anything is saying.

Jesus you all jump to conclusions. People who understand this say there is still A LOT of unknown in this GPU. They will update when some more is understood, but right now its still way too unclear to be making ANY judgments.

 

Kinda why I haven't updated my comparison thread yet. They are actually getting even more help from chipworks to fully understand the many areas that are clearly something unique to Nintendo and not based on standard GPU construction.

I see. Thanks for the reply. So customized like PS2/3 and unlike 360/PC. Good or bad though? Better performance over time i assume.

Yeah pretty much considering people wouldn't even recognize what you see in that image as a GPU that's a tell.



God those idiots at NeoGAF can't even calculate something
8 rops + 20 Alu's make 160 Alus. 160 alus @ 550 MHz is 352 GFlops not 176 GFlops.
Still clockspeed and fillrate isn't really that impressive at all not that is says everything.



Predictions
I will win the internetz

We are talking about raw power... not about the other specifics hardware units in the chip.
