Breaking News! New Sony PSP has a quadcore CPU and GPU! | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1241467 United States 01/27/2011 10:08 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Is this thing more powerful than the PS3? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1239338Based on what I have seen with pc gaming I am gonna say yes because while your processor helps a lot it is really the video card that makes games come to life in high frame rates. So 4 core cpu and 4 core gpu VS an 8 core/cell chip? Yeah its got it. But the REAL question is if they are doing this to PSP what the hell does the PS3 have lying under the hood? And for how much money will it cost? We know the Ps3 was 600 dollars when it dropped. PS4 I meant. |

bornofmaya (OP) User ID: 1245263 Grenada 01/27/2011 10:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I doubt its more powerful than the PS3, but it should be able to produce some pretty high quality games and applications similar to the PS3 since its only on a small screen. The PS3 needs more power to display higher resolutions on bigger screens. Last Edited by bornofmaya on 01/27/2011 10:12 AM |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1245373 United States 01/27/2011 10:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is badass. But of course the ps3 is an 8 core so this seems natural. What really raises my eyebrow is a quadcore video card. That itself is revolutionary. I can only imagine having two of those in a pc in sli mode and a new 8 core amd bulldozer at like 3.6 ghz. Throw in a 512 gigabyte solid state hdd and 16 gbs or ram and you would have some serious fuckin pc firepower. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1241467The PS3 is one core with with 7 of this thing that I forgot the name of. Bottom line, it's one core, the same way a GPU is one core but have hundreds of another thing that I forgot the name of. That's why I disliked Sony, always trying to mislead. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1245373 United States 01/27/2011 10:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sony has said that's as half as powerful than a PS3. Come on people, the PS3 came out in 2006, 5 years is not enough for a handheld to catch up. Computers mainly get better because they become smaller, not because they invented something, which is how I feel some people here see things. There's a path that it takes. |

And she told you she was only doing this cause she was mad at her bf? Not a very smart girl. OR is it simply the fact that revenge in the female brain completely depletes them of any and all logic. lmao I once had a girl fly across the country and stay with me a week just because she was mad at her boyfriend. But hey I once sold two DS's for fifty a piece and this was within the year they came out. You still got a great deal. Carry on man! |

Nintendo, Sega, Sony, MS, Atari etc etc keep using the same old tactics and decade after decade and so many still fall for it. What happens is every company will release their machines, then after about 2 years , when they know full well they are 2-3 years away from releasing something better they begin the HYPE. WHY you ask? Because little billy's ps3 is getting a bit dated, what a terrible thing if he got over the whole playstation shit, so they start dropping hints well in advance about the new system they have (on paper) cos this thing is just s pipe dream and all those bullshit SPECS of gigs and GHz they quote will be completely revised by the time the thing hits the shelf.

In fact there was some trouble with Nintendo sometime last year, because someone leaked that they were going to introduce a new DS (3DS) and they had to do damage control, because it was going to affect the sale of the DSi. I don't think you really follow the video game industry. I mean people speculate what the new systems might be like in the future, but the companies try to keep it a secret as long as possible, since it would affect the sale of their current systems. It's common sense. |

They don't want to hurt the sales of their current product is correct, but, They must assure their userbase a more powerful system with "made up" spec's is on its way , otherwise they risk their customers jumping to another platform from any other manufacturer that may have taken a lead in the Power/gfx area for any short time. I call the specs made up because they will surely be revised before the final production, it pays to have people thinking this thing will be a NASA computer for the time being. Look back this always happens - Nintendo project reality? or AMD Clawhammer CPU.. LOL |
