Forums - Sony - Rumor: PS4 Gets Unequalled Graphics

yeah watch those sales drop after that so called special deal was made, xbox will seem so expensive now lol^^
even when xbox 360 was alot cheaper than the ps3 it still did not outsell it by much, all it took was one slim release and one price cut and ps3 undid all the damage xbox 360 has done so far in one year (in just one month lol), try and spin that one, because i don't think you can.
keep on believing the xbox is coming back again, it won't change things, things are goin ps3's way now, thanks for the interesting argument tho lol



it's the future of handheld

Hmm afte this artikle the PS3 gets a GPU not from Nvidia and not from ATI but from IMGTEC. They said the PowerVR chip with the TBDR technology was the reason why the DC had so extremly good Graphics back in 1998. And they said that for the PSP2 they will use IMGTEC too but it will be a 5XTseries chip while the PS4 gets a high End 6 series chip with unknown specs. They said the IMGTEC chip has a special technology called TBDR and this means the IMGTEC Chip can have 3.5 times the power of a same sized Ati/Nvida chip despite it will have the same costs. They said that the PS3 GPU was the weak spot of the PS3. But the Cell is such a powerful beast that it makes up the weakness from the GPU.

Would it be a good decision to go for IMGTEC instead of Nvidia/Ati ?

And is this TBDR Technology really that good that it can beat comparable Ati/Nvdia chips with a faktor of 3.5 ?

 

TBDR Technology anyone know what the TBDR mean? The only thing I can think of is: to be determined.

 

 

TBDR mean tile Based dereffered Rendering. That is some technology which makes rendering processes easier and does need less Gpu Power for the same result. Dont know how it exactly works it divides the Picture in Tiles and the rendering needs there for lesser calculation.

 

 

They are talking definetly from the PS4 NOT from the PSP2. Thats for sure. They say that the PSP 2 will use a weaker PowerVR Chip. 

They just explained that the Company licenced their technonology on Apple and Nokia and Nec ant they are using it in the Mobile Phones but I read during the 90s they were important.They lost marketshare because of OpenGL and Direct3d which prefered Nivdia and Ati.

This technology is not new and has a great potential.

 

I am sceptical if this is just a rumor or if this is substantial news.

 

@Avinash

 

Dont ROFL to much and wait until its time for the new consoles to release.

Actually making those prices permanent 99 for arcade and either 199 or 249 for elite will likely put 360 sales a good deal higher than the PS3, as we've seen, the prices are very mass market, and will likely drive alot of sales to the 360.

Don't need to spin, just need to show the facts, even a short term deal lifted 360 sales a lot, a full fledged WW cut on both of its models will easily carry it past the PS3 and put the squeeze on Sony, either stick at their price and lose markets share, or cut and go back into the red for another year or so.

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

yes those deals increased sales, but it did not hurt sony on a worldwide basis, we shall wait and see if m$ actually does what you say, it will be interesting to see what happens.
I personally don't think it will do as well in the uk and definately not in japan, people buy xbox in america because it's american and not because it is the best console, you see what i mean??

Because those deals were limited, to only select regions and in the case of the Arcade, only certina stores, but they still were a huge boost, showing that a larger cut will have an even greater effect.

It would do fine in Europe and others, and even UK at that and excellent in America, more than enough to cover the gap between the PS3 and 360, maybe even cause some fall in PS3 sales

Sure there was a huge boost, you were able to purchase something at 99$ and then sell it back on ebay the week after for 150$...



^Except 360 software was up, if people were buying just to sell on ebay, then they wouldn't have bought software, they bought it to play, not resell

Theres a lot of factors that can influence software sale. Also I never said that all sales was people wanting to resell it. My point was that, selling something at 99$ that worth 199$ is different then selling something 99$ that worth 99$. You cannot extrapolate on those sale how much arcade would sale if it would become 99$ at normal selling price.
