Not according to this guy:

Depending on the depth of info, he is most likely seeking approval from several divisions to release company confidential information. I know it sounds silly but this is most likely happening. Goes on with my company when we release tech/patent info, and the lawyers do take awhile.

That sounds reasonable. He needs to get the info and has the headache of getting approval from numerous departments/groups (who're all likely butting heads) before going through the marketing dept to make sure it's all PR friendly.

Cant believe guys in this thread was backing up some of Penello's false statements. Even after neutral guys on our site and GAF have said that some of the stuff hes saying is just wrong. Lost respect for a lot of posters here in the chartz in this thread...atleast on a technical level.

Im glad the guy admitted he was wrong...seems like he legit cares about engaging with the GAF community. Looking forward to getting more details from the engineers!

We will see once the console comes out but I bet MS will be right and gaf/internet psuedo-experts will get owned.

How did you get to this value? You speak as if you know about this kinda stuff, very opinioted and very harsh on other users when they mess up facts. Its kinda odd that you would make such a crazily incorrect statement.

Dude the guy admitted that some of the information he posted was wrong....have you read the GAF thread?

No, I make it a point to not stick my head in a toilet.

Err, what was he wrong about?

The 218 vs 204 thing? I actually think 204 is correct. Andf if it was wrong, it was wrong to the negative of Xbox, which is the opposite of the hundreds of people saying he's lying to make Xbox look better.

The funny thing is the guys attacking him are usually horrendously wrong and have zero tech knowledge!

It almost has 50%+ of everything, except for a few things like the Geometry Engines, which is going to be a big part for next generation, everything will have depth, hopefully no more flat blurry ground.

The bandwidth advantage of the PS4 isn't as big as you think either, the Xbox One has lower bandwidth requirements to begin with due to the slower GPU, the eSRAM will give it that little extra boost.
Of course ideally, Microsoft should have went with GDDR5, but probably due to immediate costs (And possibly CPU performance due to the roughly 20% added latency?), decided against it, GDDR5 doesn't enjoy the scale of economies like DDR3 does and it also requires a more complex memory controller, which costs transisters, the transister budget that could have been spent on the memory controller and GPU was pretty much all thrown at the eSRAM and then some.

On the flip side, once low-end GPU's and IGP's start using GDDR5, then it's going to be good news for Sony, it's going to get cheaper, high-end cards don't really sell much in terms of volume, so their shift to GDDR6 won't impact prices much.
Where-as DDR3 is going to be getting more costly from here-on-out, DDR3 prices have already increased over the past year, that cost should jump for Microsoft as the PC shifts it's focus to DDR4 production.

My biggest issues was the the way in which he adds up the bandwidth of the system. Which is just horribly incorrect.

Another incorrect statement he made was about having more CU's being inefficient. Which is again crazy wrong.

And lastly he makes a 6% GPU clock speed increase seem like something....more? How on earth a 6% GPU clock speed increase is anything other than exactly that, is beyond me.

Honestly these 3 things are sooo incorrect that i dont even...

And i didnt need GAF/Vgchartz/other articles to tell me this. Any PC enthusiast is familiar with these things. None of this stuff is overly complicated. Its not like we talking about undiclosed co-processors etc. We speaking about generic computing performance terms here....

I dont agree with people attacking the guy personally but the statements he made are just off. The 204/218 thing is minor didnt really mind it. But the other things he really needs to back it up. Thats why he hasnt responded to most of the follow up questions in the thread. Even the decent replies, with no insulting etc. He very clearly states that he just gave off the information that he got from the engineers. Thats why hes sending all the legit questions to get them answered. I like the guy, seems genuine, but the doesnt make any of the incorrect statements he made any better.

And what im confused about, in this partilar thread, is so called "techies" defending what is clearly wrong info...never mind the correct stuff. Look at this whole thing objectively and im sure you will agree.
