Omg The Revolutions Graphics Card Has 600mhz

ugotfragged · 18-07-2005, 09:55 PM

Game informer this month has an interview with some nintendo official stating that the new graphics card will reportedly have 600mhz and may change its internal memory to 512. if this is so than teh xbox360 may have a helluh alot of compettiton. and that means with all the focus on them tryin to get market share sony may keep its lead in teh next gen and the runnerup may be nintendo.

A while back I came across these specs for the Revolution...

2 G5 1.8GHZ CPUS
512K L2 Cache
1200 MHZ Front Side BUS
600MHz GPU with 12MB embedded 1T SRAM
128MB 1T SRAM MAIN MEMORY 600 MHz (L3 Cache to CPU and GPU)
256MB 400MHZ NEC design embedded DRAM
Embedded 16-BIT HD 7.1 Digital sound chip
Dedicated sound bandwidth will not affect CPU
6GB HD Dual Layer Panasonic Discs
3:1 balance between CPU and RAM
1:1 balance between GPU and RAM

Got them from this site...LINK

Obviously they could be totally bogus as nothing has been confirmed officially by Nintendo.

There is also these from http://www.totalnextgen.com/content.php?content.8

Now, a bit of clarification is necessary here. We have two sets of specs to talk about. Supposedly Nintendo has two sets of benchmark specifications they're working with, and one will be chosen when they are closer to actual development. We'll talk about both in the analysis.

System 1:

2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 Processor
512 Megs total Ram (128 for video, 64 for sound)
600 Mhz graphics chip

System 2:

Dual 1.8 Ghz IBM G5 PowerPC processors
256 Megs DDR Main memory (64 dedicated to sound, using a 7.1 sound system at 196 Khz)
128 Megs GDDR3 Video memory
500 Mhz graphics chip (ATI developed, 16 Pixel Pipe, 220 Million transistors)

Shared Information:

Built in 15 Gigabyte harddrive
Blue-laser disk technology
Potential DVD playback
Case design philosophy more like the N64, less like the GameCube

i've seen those too, but the gpu isn't what they're saying it is. they're made by ati and they're called a (i think) hollywood gpu.

it runs at 400MHz not 600, and one of the ati execs had an interview (i saw it in the other console/platform discussion on teamxbox.com) where they basically said that the "hollywood" chip is not nearly as powerful as the xenos...i'll try to find the link

pApA SmerF01 · 19-07-2005, 01:33 PM

here they are:

1
2
3

i don't know which one to go to so i posted all 3.

One thing is for sure that this point, we still need more clarification on the specs. Just give me one official set of numbers to scrutinize, then we'll make our doomsday predictions.

Side note: Even if the product sports a 600Mhz GPU, with no HDtv support, it still will not look as nice. 7.1 digital sound support, now that is impressive.

The problem is we know absolutley nothing about the Revolution. Nintendo are doing thier usual cloak and dagger, top secret, we're going to give you as little info as possible right until the last minute. The specs quoted are from reliable sources, but until we get the confirmation from Nintendo I'd take everything about the Rev as speculation. Even the Revolution console shown at E3 wasn't the final product, Iwata has said that it may change before it is launched, and could be smaller than the item shown.

If the Rev is less powerful than the 360 and PS3 and doesn't have the visual quality of these two, it doesn't really bother me. I find I buy Nintendo for the gameplay, the innovation, the fun, and the franchises that don't appear on other systems.

dont u think the number of revolutions sold will be lowered cuz of them not sayin anything about it until the last minute?

Yeah I think all the secrecy may cause more damage in the long run. People have already started making up thier minds on which console they will be purchasing from what they have since since E3. With very little in the way of game and console information on the Revolution, it's not catching interest of gamers outside of the Nintendo fans.

We have alot of time to wait 4 the revolution and nintendo dont need to rush the specs out. The only question will be how much of the market will be taken by MS and sony before nintendo turn up!!! Anywayz at the moments i plan on getting the revolution as my second console over my 360. I like the original games and concepts.

From what I've seen by peoples responses on the net, the Revolution seems to be the second choice console after either the Xbox or PS3. Hopefully we may get something new from Nintendo regarding the Revolution at Nintendo's Dealer Fair in Osaka, Japan on July 27th - 28th. Reports say there will be new titles on display as well as some new announcements.

Grindstone · 20-07-2005, 01:22 PM

By not stating the specs, they are losing support. Some people say (also credibly known as 'they') that it is because Nintendo has something innovative up their sleeve, and what to shock the gaming industry with it. I have also herad from 'they' that the Rev. will not launch until Q3 of `06, which is console suicide, especially if you are releasing an inferior product comparatively speaking.

I sincerely hope that they do have something innovative that will 'revolutionize' the gaming industry, and keep them afloat.

bennyboo03 · 20-07-2005, 06:05 PM

i wanna mostly wanna see wat the revolution controller will look like. i have heard rumours that it will have four bottom handles or watever its called on ir and also heard that they might either put a touch screen to tilt-sensitive gyrscopes the controller.

I'm not suprised, considering the Revolution will be entirely different while the others are just technical improvements. I'd like to see Microsoft having a bigger impression on the Japanese market though.

Well if you got a 360 and Rev. it looks like youve got jsut about every game covered

360 looks like getting all those former PS exclusives to share, plus its own games, and as always, Nintendo will ahve loads of exclusives

Exactly, that is why I'm (most likely) not getting a PS3.
