RISC CPU cores tend to be smaller than CISC's. Depending on when this CPU could come out, I could be on a smaller process that could cram a lot of processing power in a CPU. Not to say that a console needs this, but I don't see it being unreasonable. MS isn't saying this is coming out this year. I could easily see this in 2-3 years from now.

Maybe IBM's new optochip technology is a lot closer to prime time than we know.

As I said in the other thread, how do we know these are 16 virtual cores like Xbox 360's 6 virtual cores? That would imply it has 8 physical cores with SMP. Considering Xbox 360 had 3 physical cores with SMP 7 years ago, that isn't unlikely. Even 16 physical cores with SMP doesn't sound unreasonable because we're talking Power PC RISC processors, not x86 CISC processors.

No! It's gonna have forty cores, no wait, make that fifty. Why, you ask? Because I dreamed that last night just like the original source of this "article".

Well the 16core cpu is likely not the quality of an intel one. If each core is as powerful as AMD's ol socket 939 cpus then that sounds about right

It is 16 cores, but not 16 conventional x86-x64 cores. I bet that the performance won't be that far away from "Orbis", which has a conventional quad-core.

HAHAHAHAHA Thats funny they think they are going to put a 16 core Proc in a Box that is around 12" x 10"(just a guess) when SERVERS are starting to make a bigger move to 16Cores+ and can cost well over $600+...
Now if they meant to say 16 threads then this is a different story.

one more time "It is 16 cores, but not 16 conventional x86-x64 cores. " No...no it is not. 4 cores with 4 threads per core is not a 16 core cpu. It is a quad core with 16 threads. http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/6...m05s021512.jpg Rather interesting that IBM is making it at GF though... guess that is due to the GCN gfx part. AMD made their first "fusion" with IBM in the Xbox 360...I wonder what they will gain from this venture.

Interesting that that slide shows a 'Blu Ray 3D hardware decoder'
Guess it will have a Blu Ray drive after all |

just with the blu ray decode mentioned plus the shared memory it almost sounds like they maybe putting the cores and gpu in the same silicon, which is quite doable since these arent 16 cores just 4 overprovisioned(ALA BD PD) plus a gpu element would fit ,hang on that config has a name all just ramblings and speculation obv
