>The PS4 has previously been described as using a GCN 1.1-era shader core, so it’s not impossible that it simply uses a larger version of such core (as opposed to Polaris’s GCN 4) to ensure compatibility. Essentially Sony & AMD’s options run the gamut from a truly updated PS4 SoC to a Polaris 10 stuffed into an SoC, and depending on Sony’s technical needs, both options would be valid.

Not even a Poolaris GPU, GCN 1.1 aka Hawaii HOUSEFIRES

Except that's bullshit. We already know that it uses a Polaris 10 GPU with 36 compute units, identical to the RX 480. No GCN 1.1 GPU with 36 CUs exists, and the idea that AMD went back to design a whole new GPU based on old tech when they have a new one with the exact same specs ready to go is asinine. Not to mention that a GCN 1.1 GPU with 36 CUs wouldn't even come close to the type of performance the PS4 Pro has. The 7970 has 32 CUs and is way off. Another 4 wouldn't help at all. Whereas the 4.2TFs of performance that Sony have confirmed matches perfectly with an unclocked RX 480, i.e. what it actually fucking is.

Another tech-illiterate writer from a curry site looking for clicks.

>This means that Sony can equally pick and choose which parts of the GPU they want to update, which is important given the forward compatibility mandate of the PS4 Pro. Adopting features from Polaris does not mean that this is a full Polaris GPU.

Obvious, a clueless cunt like you don't even READ

Except that's FUCKING BULLSHIT from a tech-illiterate piece of garbage who doesn't understand how GPUs are designed or work. The fact that you're buying into it exposes you as one too.

You're the only tech illiterate moron here

The author writes all the GPU reviews for Anandtech, he clearly knows better than an uneducated, mother's basement dwelling troll like you

Its like you read the words there and still completely failed to grasp them.

It was Ryan Smith.
The B list talent they've been heavily relying on along with Ian since Anand himself decided to quit so he could pursue his true passion. Shitting on the streets of major tourist attractions around the world as he sails his giant yacht.

Reread the excerpt that the dipshit OP actually posted. Its not wrong. OP just tried to make is salacious.

I'm literally not going to sit here and argue with some retard saying "he works for Currytech, he MUST know what he's talking about!!!"

Go back to /v/, you piece of shit.

>Reread the excerpt that the dipshit OP actually posted. Its not wrong.

It's meaningless speculation that contradicts what development sources have told far more trustworthy and technically-proficient outlets like Digital Foundry. And it's fundamentally incorrect speculation at that. We already know enough about the Pro's GPU to know that is IS an underclocked RX 480.

Again, just a worthless site looking for clicks.

Have you even seen them write a GPU review that goes in depth in the GPU architecture?

They will make every online game run at the same fps as with the old ps4


Now thats equality

No "we" don't. It would be ridiculous to state as much, even more so ridiculous to assume a video game blog aimed at 13 year olds and /v/irgins would have any real technical knowledge whatsoever. AMD's GPUs are modular, graphics IP, PowerTune, UVD, VCE, front end including geometry processor and ACEs, back end, etc. They can pick and choose whatever they want when they build a part. The Xbox One and PS4 APUs contained PowerTune IP not present in any consumer parts until Beema launched.
Its likely the exact same scenario this time around with the Pro and Scorpio. They're each utilizing varying IP levels, not directly comparable to any currently available discrete cards.

If Sony goes with Nvidia on the PS5, there won't be any need for PC gayming anymore.

Nvidia has shown that they can stuff a GTX1070/GTX1080 into a notebook, and only losing out a few percentages of performance.

And if it still costs only 500-600 bucks, you are winning as a consumer.

PC gaymer could only amortise the expenses by pirating all games.

Regardless, no business is going to take on the cost for developing another product when they already have one that will work.

Had a good hearty laugh.

They said so in the fucking keynote that it uses Polaris.

Fucking anandtech.
