If Microsoft want their console to live for 10 years then i doubt this GPU clock increase (since we heard rumor of yield problems and clock decrease before) will create problems in long term unless they have good yields and better cooling.

A small increase won't afftect the lifetime of a component that is can run close to 1GHz... the Xbone case is big too... so I think that won't change nothing after all.

That's the reason to go just with 53Mhz increase and not 100 or 200Mhz.


I think they tested a lot of clock-speeds and found out that this would be the best in terms of additional power-drain and heat.

I agree... the 53Mhz seems to be a safe increase without compromise or change the system.

Side note... some guys here said MS never reveled the specs and that the one listed by the leaks are incorrect.

Well this new info confirm what most guys already knows... the leaks are pretty accurate... the GPU indeed was running at 800Mhz like every leak report stated.

And CBOATspoken.

yes ud lov that, wuld..nt uyou kekeke salti handegg cal me out f44 what? hold your L &

stay Mad like mikelsen


durn rite. 6day za go. ~~~200 pipdream fo4r mad men, l


sory no

Edit - Translation and the other quotes:

GUY: More evidence that we should stop relying on insiders so blindly. Even cboat
CBOAT: Yes, you'd love that, wouldn't you? Hehehe, salty handegg (football?) - you call me out for what? Hold your load and stay Mad like (Mads) Mikkelson.

GUY: Cboat told me it was bs.
CBOAT: Darn right. 6 days ago. 200(mhz) is a pipe dream for mad men.

GUY: there's actually a bump in specs when compared to numbers MS made public.
CBOAT: Sorry, no.

PS. CBOAT said days ago that MS will show us something in September that will make us "WOW"

I finished to listen the podcast now...

I don't know if anybody need to created or just update this thread... http://majornelson.com/cast/2013/08/02/mnr-486-marc-whitten-updates-us-on-the-progress-of-xbox-one/

The best news is not the 53Mhz increase in GPU but the part they talk about the new driver "Mono" that permits the devs to code close to metal in Xbone.

That is really a great new.

So that's why there were Titans in the workstations at E3! Now everything makes sense ;-P


I still wonder what hardware rendered Deep Down in february ;)

Made me LOL. Wtf happened to that game, yikes.

This is great news and goes to show that MS really wants to put out the best product at launch. I would also venture to say this is why they had a set limit on pre-orders as they wanted to ensure they had enough time for production after finalizing the product for the launch window releases. Furthermore, I would think that since they are making such changes so close to launch that they weren't already in production and that it wasn't an issue of concern. That is to say their production pipeline must be streamlined and prepared to ship a lot more units during the holiday season as another rumor had indicated.

no no no, specs don't matter to MS.


that is one annoying regurgitation.  i think i saw it at least 30 times.  all of you that's running with the same drivel must think 53mhz is a big deal.  specs still don't matter.

That us of course PR. The Hypervisor is there exactly to PREVENT that. Any software bypassing ny of the two other os and go directly to hardware.

On a related note, the 53MHz speed bump does not make sense at all UNLESS the system clock is now 853MHz. This means that the bus runs at that clock AND the Jaguar cores run at 1.706GHz, still eactly twice the bus frequency (any odd muliplier would simply introduce bus contentions).

I forget the hypervisor here.

And the Jaguar clock have no relation to GPU clock in AMD APUs... eSRAM is synced with GPU... there is no multiplier bettwen CPU and GPU... AMD didn't use bus in CPU since I don't remember, they use a base clock because the HT but that base clock is just to help the CPU overclock.

The GPU running at 853Mhz now is from MS mouth... so official.
