In general i agree, instead of PS4 Pro being in theory 2X+frequency difference =2.28X faster it's less, but the architecture of that era (GCN derivatives ) is known, even you cut in half the rops in the PS4 Pro the difference is 1.8X between a theoretical PS4 Pro with half the RBEs and a regular...

PS4 Pro launched only 3 years after PS4 with a GPU that it had double the raster performance of PS4 and it cost the same as original PS4 price ($399/399€) and although it launched in an era that we had the 4K boom by the launch of PS5 it was selling at only 1:4 ratio vs the regular PS4 (some...

I wonder what chip design Microsoft has chosen to produce on the Intel 18A process.

I just read tweaktown's article, I don't consider RGT or MLID reliable sources, but regarding the codenames Navi 44/48 also Everest/@Olrak29_ mentioned them which is a more reliable source but with no spec or any other details (at least I didn't found them).I won't speculate based on the little...

There is 0% chance for RX7900XTX performance at $400. Although Leakers said only Low-end Navi 43 and 44 for RDNA4, the timing is perfect for a monolithic 4nm Navi 42 part (4nm is probably the last node offering adequate size reduction for cache (1.35X) , it offers the potential for 1.15X...

Nintendo after 64 (or maybe after Gamecube) changed strategy and was never chasing to compete technology wise with Sony and MS or have the latest tech in general.Probably the cost of the solutions Nvidia proposed led to ampere and Samsung 8nm, the other solutions would be ampere+6nm (or 5/4nm...

I hope the resolution remains 720p (for more 60fps gaming) but i doubt it.Everyone would want an OLED SKU but i guess Nintendo will keep it for a refresh in order to rejuvenate the sales in midlife.With the specs that rumoured (1280 cuda cores and 8nm) and hopefully with 1.1GHz in docked mode...

Anandtech reports 31/01/24 availability regarding DIY retail channel and i was hoping for a TPU review the same day or a day before (if there was a sampling).Are you planning to buy any of them independently and post a review?

Hi @W1zzard , thanks for the reviews! "XFX wants $350 for the Steel Legend, a $30 increase over the MSRP" Typo, $20 (same in Asrock) Is it disclosable when the review embargo for 8700G/8600G/8500G lifts and are you planning to have a little more in depth IGP review section than usual?

At least it will be easier to justify the upgrade to 8000G naming this way (vs 7000G naming), NPU/"AI" +4nm+2024 launch seems to be enough for AMD's marketing department.We should expect some exaggerated "A.I." marketing claims, I really hope prices to be no higher that the below assumptions...

With 24Gbps memory it should be around 6-7% faster than 4080 at 4K (with slower memory timings even less difference, but NV should be able to hit the specced speed of the Micron MT61K512M32KPA-24-if it uses the same ICs) the problem is that 4070TiS should be only -12% at 4K vs 4080 and with $799...

Leaks suggest 7168 Cuda cores for 4070S, 8448 Cuda cores for 4070TiS and 10240 Cuda cores for 4080S which so close to the launch should be correct, but i was expecting 7168 Cuda cores for 4070S, 8704 Cuda cores for 4070TiS and 10496 Cuda cores for 4080S. Anyway at least it will force AMD...

It seems to me Meteor Lake desktop will come late 2024 along with Arrow Lake desktop and i5 K/KF series and above will be Arrow Lake based and Meteor Lake will be used for i5 non-K parts and below (similar situation with what we have now in 13th gen with Raptor and Alder Lake segmentation)

RX 7600 is only -15% slower in QHD vs RTX 3080 (or +72% faster than RTX 3060) and in 4K RX 7700XT has the same performance as RTX 3090Ti? Like @dyonoctis said something is off.

I guess, anyway let's focus on the positive side, 7800XT pricing is great and to me a surprise, I really was expecting a $549 SRP. Still the gap with RX7600 is big, I wonder if we are going to see a 7600XT with a little bit higher GPU and memory clocks and higher TBP (but within 1x8pin territory...
