Your referring to the Red ring of death ,RROD I imagine. Not certain what caused that, additional than I would hate to observe an Nvidia Bumpgate stoppage or an Nvidia card killer driver release wave in subsequently gen consoles. The fact of the matter is with the intention of AMD Radeon 5xxx and 6xxx series, and extremely likely 7xxx series, are superior to Nvidia Geforce in power usage/heat output / effectiveness and of course price/performance. You do not have encompassed to be a genius to understand who acquire the contracts by means of such clearcut advantages. Ofcourse, things are not this uncomplicated, Nvidia might create Sony or MS a "deal they not be able to refuse".

Yes, extremely surprising. However, AMD is almost certainly determining to play hardball to acquire business. Interesting with the intention of the PS4 might utilize a BD-based APU. I guess Sony actually desires to create a number of $$$ off of these this time around. The NVidia screwed themselves in excess off not budging on pricing of their chips for the original xBox. Might have encompassed and sworn the next gen playstation might be utilizing nvidia based graphics although, perhaps that is not the case several longer. Why do I imagine the CPU predictions here are bogus.

In addition, NV's higher end chips necessitate an additional costly 320/384-bit memory bandwidth which determine to add significant costs to the console motherboard design. It might be far cheaper to implement a 256-bit memory interface through GDDR5, which the entire in excess off again AMD provides. Moreover, way, it is far additional important to observe how powerful the GPUs determine to be, to a certain extent than what vendor determine to provide them.

I mean if they position an HD6770 or an HD6550 as fraction of the APU into the PS4, I determine to not be impressed, regardless of how well organized to facilitate chip is. So I am waiting until accurate specs are released. At least if the entire 3 GPUs determine to be made available by AMD, there will be no more fanboy arguments in excess of which GPU is faster in view of the fact that you might be capable to compare them across AMD architectures.

It is regrettable with the intention of the consoles are launching during the "stagnant GPU" time although. The GPUs have not actually improved in performance with the intention of much in view of the fact that HD5870 was released in Sept of 2009. I am still anticipating moreover Sony or Microsoft compress a 28nm Kepler or 28n HD7000 series into their 2012-2013 consoles, even if it is one of their mid-range presenting given the limitations for power consumption. Additional than that is almost certainly unlikely considering development is way under way for both. I am estimating there is an 95% likelihood the next gen PS4/720 determine to have an HD5000 or HD6000 derivative GPU.

And still creates additional than sufficient money with that and their hold up contracts for it and the software. They just acquire out of the consumer market at the same time as they still might much higher margins elsewhere.

As for which chip determine to in conclusion land in it I would imagine that attractive much solely depends on who offers the most excellent deals you be able to save x$ per console or utilize this vastly superior architecture. Who desires to guess by means of what the decision makers determine to go. Which as a consequence means nobody acquires much money in that give the impression of being at how much AMD got out of their deals for the current-gen consoles.
