would someone mind updating me from yesterday?
We've had 2 more people come forward confirming the same thing.

She had it coming.
Probably not.So I assume all the games for E3 aren't taking this into consideration?
Yes and no. Normal DRAM behaves differently. But that's what pseudostatic RAM is for - DRAM that hides refresh cycles and therefore behaves like SRAM. That's what Nintendo usually uses. Pseudostatic RAM is a bit bigger and more complex compared to regular DRAM, but still a lot smaller and has a much lower power consumption compared to SRAM.Isn't the problem the way it handles data?
Sony got lucky a lot.
It not all doom and gloom for MS
power has never determined the winner and its certainly no wii/wiiu situation in regards to power and 3rd party support.
As long as the X1 gets the same 3rd party support as the PS4, the power difference will only effect like 5% of the gaming population.
Probably not.
If the problem really forces their hands to down clock the GPU then I wonder if we can trust what will be shown in real time at e3.
If you do stupid things, other bad things will happen to you. Stupidity is one of the leading causes of death nowadays.
Seriously, that could have been bleach, or acid in that cup. Never know.
Xbox's "all in one" approach kinda reminds me about this:
Their goal relies more on (a change of) perception than (a change of) reality. They have built a filter/funnel. I don't see why they can't succeed.
You cray. Shitty downgrade is forever. They can fix a shitty os.
Honestly this sounds to me more like they didn't plan at all lunching 2013 but Sony suprized them and shit got real @ MS. This would explain why they waited so long for response to that meeting.
One thing is sure. Sony got lucky a lot.
I don't believe these rumors. I'm pretty sure MS has a huge plan for total domination, they've been cooking this bad boy for a long time, they know what they're doing.
Anyway, it'll all change next Monday when Microsoft announces their Megatons !
Then hardware talk will be forgotten.
Do you guys actually believe MS will let Sony get a head start and risk loosing this gen ? lol, i just don't believe that. And who knows, Sony may have the same problems, we just haven't heard from them as much as MS these past days...
Even with this down clock its not as if the games will look significantly worse.So then I'll ask again:
also, in addition to hardware issues, the OS is fucked? this is based on inside information or just that the reveal demo was faked (which i'd assume would virtually always be the case for a big reveal on stage with early hardware and software to avoid bugs/crashes/embarrassing moments)
One thing is sure. Sony got lucky a lot.
Sony have decades of hardware manufacturing experience.
You can't just outsource or hire people and get to that level no matter how deep your pockets are.
MS aren't bad at hardware, they just haven't got the same infrastructure.
Neither did Apple, but they really got fortunate with absolutely top-notch engineers, hands-off management, and huge investment in Foxconn.

This is worrisome, indeed. Don't think I've seen a thread where all the "insiders" or people with insider knowledge came in and basically confirmed the rumor at hand. The rumor just became fact in my eyes.Unfortunately it's not. There are performance issues. In some cases, its quite significant.

Said in the other thread.Amazon cutting back in the pre-order for the x1 got an email sayin supply issues can email to mod to confirm. Could this to be blame?
The thing is, 'all-in-one' can also give us the iPhone. That's what I was hoping for from Xbone, anyway.Xbox's "all in one" approach kinda reminds me about this:

Xbox's "all in one" approach kinda reminds me about this:
CPU is only a bottleneck if a game is designed to demand a lot from the CPU. This is highly up to a game per game basis.
Even so, considering the fact that GPGPU is going to be a big thing this gen, even more importance will be put on the GPU as it will be able to pick up some tasks normally given to the CPU (physics being the obvious one). I actually don't really think the CPU will be much of an issue at all this gen if the physics are offloaded.

I still hold the thought that in previous generations it was easy to mask power differences through showpiece games most people couldn't tell the difference between unless side by side.Except last gen when it came to the phenomenon that was the Wii, which I don't think we will see again this gen. Part of that was because of the differences in architecture making porting and optimization more of a hassle. However, this coming generation the architecture is the same with PS4 actually having all the advantages of better specs, unified memory pool, and a maturer dev environment. So all of that should make optimization for the PS4 not only easier but yield very noticeable results. Jonathan Blow even went as far as speculating it could be a difference of the PS4 getting a 60FPS version while the Xbox gets 30FPS.
The real kicker? The PS4 could very well be cheaper to purchase.
One thing is sure. Sony got lucky a lot.
Well the psp upped their clocks (maybe reinstated is a better word) a good while after it launched.
They had the date as December 31st. I don't think it was going to stick to that date. Could it be a factor? Possibly. Would MS have already told suppliers about unit issues or how many they were expecting? Doubtful.
I was reading the gametrailers/youtube comments on the reveal video, and many were 'yep same specs as PS4, 8 core CPU, 8GB RAM'
Pretty ridiculous
No it's an email saying supplier difficulties

Can someone explain this rumor/issue in normal human being terms, or link me to a post if someone's already made one?
Probably already answered but this thread is long.
Can lowering clocks on esram improve yields like it does on GPUs and CPUs? Maybe improving yields is the wrong term as the quality of chips doesn't change, but more poor quality chips becoming usable is what I mean.
