Yes I know (since you posted that) It does in fact give me confidence though that they have touched the other consoles .
I'm hoping the CPU comes out much stronger than the 360s cpu but at a lower clock speed.
Googly moogly, they work with Neon enterprise software, that ones new.
Thats top of the line mainframe super computer software optimizing they are doing. These guys are nuts.
But yeah, I had to make doubly sure people realize they know much MUCH more than just Nintendo hardware.
The cpu will fall well below the 360/ps3 in terms of floatingpoint operations a second, and in turn simd loops. Which, is pretty who cares, the most not good thing about ps3/360 was its focus on flops. Gpu's need flops (sorta), cpu's need general purpose, which ps360 were garbage at. Developers were, eventually, able to build something worthwhile around the flop strengths, but when a life cycle goes on 2-3 years longer than any system cycle in history, that should be expected.
That being said, all signs point to ps4/durangos cpu's also falling below cell and xenon in flop count. WHich would make bc very very difficult.
These consoles will be very dissimilar to this gens consoles.they will not simply be an enhancement of 360/ps3. Thats because, Dennard scaling is reaching the end of physical possibility with silicon on insulator. New wells need to be dipped into, and each well is shallower than the last. Its the main reason the 5 year cycle has been broken. The power advancement/price ratio of the past 30 years has been broken.
So many people are going to be so dissapointed by this gen.
