Support NeoGAF

[I NEED SCISSORS]

So in layman's terms they have pretty much the same CPU, Durango has more RAM but Orbis has faster RAM, and Orbis has a slightly more powerful GPU? Sounds good for everyone really.

 

[RoKKeR]

Didn't we do this last week? At this point I'm sick of these "reveals" and will just wait for Sony/Microsoft to do their thing.

 

[iamshadowlark]

8 ROPS and 18 TMUs on the GPU is new to me.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Sounds ridiculously beast. Do want now.

 

[Celegus]

The power of eight Atari Jaguars? Next gen is here!!!!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

All that hype for nothing. Can't wait until next-gen games are shown since all of this hardware talk is a bust.

 

[Kun Aguero]

What does "Hardware balanced at 14 CUs" mean, when there's 18 CU's in the GPU?

 

[Visualante2]

I don't believe for one minute that Sony is shipping with Dual Shock 4, Move and a Kinect style camera.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

How much will this baby cost?

 

[Red Blaster]

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

wii u is farmer with a shotgun

 

[seattle6418]

You gotta be kidding me. They read Neogaf and posted a compilation of the things we discussed. Nothing new and still a bunch of holes, missing information bits.

Isn't the 6x blu ray drive kind of underwhelming? I was hoping they would go with a 12x one.

 

[metareferential]

Come on Sony, october worldwide release.

 

[RoKKeR]

Just read over the specs again. Damn, this thing sounds like a monster.

Sony first party will surely dominate next gen.

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

so no new info really

In fact, it feels like a refinement based on last weeks round of rumors. Why are they not calling out GDDR5 anymore?

 

[SturokBGD]

Was hoping for 1.21 Gigawatts of something.

Sentence two doesn't go with sentence one.

 

[bud23]

So is this really good?

Yeah, it is. Prepare for the explosion.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Any new hints/links to backwards compatibility?

 

[phosphor112]

Nothing new.

They revealed several chips that were expected, DSPs and vlib chips, etc.

All can be done by that PE i've mentioned before.

Why else would they only use 2 out of the 4 crossbar slots?

They can go 16core otherwise. My guess is that this is temporary until the final hardware in the Summer.

EDIT: Bluray numbers are wrong. Bluray is constant read speed.

Also, expect BDXL. No reason it wouldn't be in the final hardware.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

So can anyone compare this to the Wii U using Dragon Ball Z power levels?

Yeah:

 

[statham]

2 cameras and the move? $499

 

[ghst]

can someone explain "hardware balanced at 14 CUs"?

 

[SneakyStephan]

Guess the inclusion of move and a shitty camera explains why they went with a netbook cpu and 1.8TF gpu

Useless gimmicks driving up the BoM.

 

[EscoBlades]

Yeah, it is. Prepare for the explosion.

Best. gif. evah!

 

[shinobi602]

Sure, SSJ Goku=WiiU
SSJ2 Goku=Orbis
Only hardcore players can notice the difference

Not even close.

 

[Duffyside]

probably the best you can expect from a profitable console under $400 in 2013.

 

[WinFonda]

So is this really good?

It has a faster GPU and much faster RAM than the rumored Durango specs. CPU is samey.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I don't believe for one minute that Sony is shipping with Dual Shock 4, Move and a Kinect style camera.

what? Who said that all comes with it.

 

[Pooya]

wasn't that 176G/s bandwidth basically made up here on GAF a few days ago after someone suggested the 192G/s is an old figure or something? this article sounds fishy imo

 

[amstradcpc]

One thing that take the eye is the "balanced for 14CUs". So, the special "compute unit" is the remainder 4 CUs taylored to physics operations...

 

[GarthVaderUK]

Dual Camera
Move controller

Optional or standard I wonder?

 

[Lifejumper]

So how many times the ps3?

 

[Verendus]

Yeah:

Perfect.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

And the sauce??

 

[pixlexic]

We knew all this. I want to see what it looks like

 

[TheOddOne]

wasn't that 176G/s bandwidth basically made up here on GAF a few days ago after someone suggested the 192G/s is an old figure or something? this article sounds fishy imo

Yup, thought the same.

 

[ghst]

Sounds ridiculously beast. Do want now.

it's not. it's found a good line between power and profitability though without going for some wonk design.

 

[FalsettoVibe]

So....How official is this information????

 

[VanWinkle]

Beautiful. In at day 1 if it's $400.

 

[jsnepo]

So about the Blu ray drive? Is it better than the PS3? What I'm trying to get is will loading times be better?

 

[PaulLFC]

Nope and not even a mention about additional computing units, BC, anything special - basicly it is what made rounds at NeoGAF the last couple of days/weeks.

Extra:

Audio Processor (ACP)
Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
Display ScanOut Engine (DCE)
Zlib Decompression Hardware

?

 

[SparkTR]

And the sauce??

Probably GAF.

 

[danthefan]

Is there any chance it'll be able to play PS3 games?

 

[amstradcpc]

wasn't that 176G/s bandwidth basically made up here on GAF a few days ago after someone suggested the 192G/s is an old figure or something? this article sounds fishy imo

It´s a rehash of the DF article + its own last week article + GAF asumptions.

 

[LiK]

$599

 

[kodt]

Hmm so sounds like Orbis and Durango should be fairly close in specs but I wonder if one will have the superior versions of most multiplatform titles like 360 did early on.

 

[Maxrunner]

read the hundred page threads that already assumed these exact specs, right down to memory bandwidth.



probably the best you can expect from a profitable console under $400 in 2013.

I'm affraid this will cost 500€ at minimum if it includes all of that...

 

[MeBecomingI]

Not much really new... most of the info mentioned is pretty close to the stuff that has been talked about day after day here. No mention of the extra "compute module" that Digital Foundry was talking about. We know most about the consoles now so it is just a matter of the consoles being announced and seeing some of the games.

 

[Hydrogen Bluebird]

Yeah, it is. Prepare for the explosion.

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD AT THIS GIF!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I'm pretty sure it's beastly. But let me guess, something something high end PCs something something years ago something something.
