Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Leak Codename: Fusion DS and Termnial

I hope for nintendos own best that those specs are not true ...
if they want to release that before 2018 and below $600 they would go bankrupt faster than they can spell bankrupt.

I expect a 2-2.5 TF one for around $400 not before 2017-2018 and not a 4.x+ TF bull...
but maybe we will see a console break $1000 at launch ...

"MEMORY: 4 Gigabytes of Unified DDR4 SDRAM CODENAME KONG, 2 GB DDR3 RAM @ 1600 MHz (12.8 GB/s) On Die CODENAMED BARREL."

Really? Everything sounded plausible until i read this. I'd guess the author included the 2GB DDR3 RAM in order to make it sound like it was backwards compatible with WIIU.

No. He included it because he's an idiot.

Notice how it's on die. If it were to be backward compatible with the Wii U, it would still need the 32 MB of eDRAM. If the supposed L4 cache was bigger, then maybe that could replace the need of having eDRAM, but the L4 cache is super tiny. On die DDR is super inefficient because the bandwidth for DDR3 is still very very slow. The DDR4's timing could be programmable, which would be more than enough, so there's really absolutely NO reason to include DDR3 whatsoever.

DDR4 is also far too slow for the GPU that's listed in these fake specs.

Also, why have codenames for uncustomized memory? Like, they didn't even attempt to make these specs believable at the slightest.

Yes, the DDR4/DDR3 crap also completely exposes the author as someone with limited technical understanding. DDR4(a little faster than DDR3, lower latency, lower power consumption) is nice and all but the system would be severely bottlenecked by not having eDRAM at all. 

I've also learned how this story came to be and where it originated from. The story originated from gamingrealm.com (Shokio's enthusiast site), a small website dedicated to Nintendo content, and run by a a couple of Nintendo fans. Some random guy posted the specs on gamingrealms facebook fanpage, and Shokio prolly went nuts with it in an effort to generate traffic to his site, and his youtube channel. 

So yeah, complete bullshit and prolly fabricated in order to generate traffic. 



If true, they would be getting on the right track, I look forward to see what they can do with a bad ass handheld with better gfx than vita.



 



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.                            

 By: Suke

Why would a console system have a 1 Coaxial Cable Input....
Because its not just a console system its a device that outputs such as a TV.
What if Fusion is not just for fusing the game console + handheld but fusing the
console+ handheld+ Cable+to a Nintendo TV.
Even crazier what if this isn't a normal TV but some sort of holographic projector.
Nintendo is very interested in 3D technology obviously with there 3DS they invested alot in research and developement.
If you are creating depth x,y, Z planes you need more power in your gpu, cpu, ram just to create the depth, because on the tv its just 2D. But if you have a 3rd dimension you are rendering multiple layers. The terminal might not be a console at all just a terminal to plug in your Wii u & cable, blue ray player.

Wasn't there some talk awhile back of Nintendo bringing out a product that wasn't a gaming console?
// most likely a rumor but one can dream

While I think this leak is inaccurate... the general idea sounds about right. We have three 3DS's in our house and one Wii U. Very few games allow you to play between them (monster hunter being the only one I have played). I think this is a good fit, a game pad that goes farther than the bathroom down the hall.

Spec wise... the power 8 is not out yet but is likely to come in a lot of variations, from ball busting big iron 12 core 8 threads per core monsters to more modest 3, 6 and maybe 8 core versions. They have an open power initiative for incorporating ARM and other technologies. There was even talk of low power SOC types... but we will see. Given that it is a console, I don't expect a big data workhorse. Power chips have good floating point performance though, unlike x86 which is good for gaming. The rest of the specs.... well who knows? How are you going to put an RX-290x easy bake oven in a small lower powered gaming console?

In a year or so the mobile SOC they quote will seem very dated (e.g. the new terga k1 way outclasses it.)

Doesn't much matter to me, I am happy with the Wii U/3DS (and steam machine) and I will get the next nintendo hardware as well.

I agree that a R9 290X (or any of the R9) is very unlikely. Maybe one of AMD's mid range cards from the R10(?) series if the plan is to launch the console in 2016.

controller with a built in vita? next gen nintendo handheld = vita 2.0 confirmed???



Lulz. 3DS was too expensive at $250. People think Wii U's too expensive currently at $300.
