ATI R400, XBOXNEXT and GOD

[ASIMOS]

Nvidia Marketing department never stop. I saw the preliminary NV35 specs and I suppose is the only logical possibility if Nvidia wants to compete with R400.The possible R400 specifications are the following:

450-500Mhz core 400-500Mhz GDDR2 memory
8 pixel pipelines with 2 texel units per pipe (16 texel units total)
DX9.1 compatibility.(if not at least it will comply with PS/VS version 3)
And of course all the usual new marketing staff (Smoothvision III, HyperZ IV etc.)
If the specs comply with 500Mhz core/500Mhz memory it could be twice as fast as 9800PRO (not theoretically but in benchmarks).

Also I heard that Microsoft is considering lunching Xboxnext in Dec. 2004.
If this is true (several sources confirm this as certain, EDGE mag for example) it will be possibly the last failure the big MS will make in the videogame business. I have heard some of their executives in the past and I think although sounding totally professionals they are completely untalented and kits.
Anyway here are the possible specs for Dec 2004 Xboxnext:
Intel Pentium 4 (Prescot core 0,09 micron ) 4Ghz or AMD athlon 64 (Paris core (0,13 micron) or Victoria core (0,09 micron) ) 2,4Ghz (Paris) or 3Ghz (Victoria)
256Mbyte 800Mhz Unified memory architecture (25,6Gbyte per sec bandwidth)
Nvidia GPU 800Mhz core (or ATI GPU 1Ghz core) 0,09 micron based
16 pixel pipeline with 2 texel units per pipe
1,6-2 billion polygons per sec (theoretical)
DX10 compatibility
12bit DAC
20-40Gb hard disk
16X DVD-ROM

I think the possibilities for MS xboxnext to be No1 console are as high as the possibilities for GOD to continue Blessing America.

I thought MS was dumping Nvidia in favor of ATI, but I know ATI didn't want to leave nintendo, so did MS decide to keep going with Nvidia, or was that just a rumor, that got shot down?

Rumor I heard was that Nintendo, like SEGA, was going to exit the console hardware market, and concentrate on software. GameCube was supposedly going to be their last system. Perhaps this is what has opened the door for ATi to produce a product for MS.

Even though, Nvidia could do the video cards for Nintendo, and Microsoft could even try Nvidia again since there is still time before December 2004. With Nvidia, they'll be able to haggle more and save money (maybe) if Nvidia doesn't do all that well.

I feel dumber for reading this drivel. This crap is worse than the Inquirer. No one picked up on his pathetic jab at the US at the end either I guess.

high as the possibilities for GOD to continue Blessing America.

Hardware, game systems, computers, GOD and politics don't mix well, air your dirty laundry elsewhere buddy.l

I can't wait then..... if that much power is going to be in a console, then my computer will still kick its ass

 

[Spicedaddy]

Maybe God told him about the specs for R400 and the next Xbox? He's the Hardware Messiah!!

Actually no, Nintendo annouced the day they would quit consoles would be the day the company would be gone totally. They also announced their new console a month or so ago, again using ATI's technology and some type of new 3D memory technology.

This so-called rumour has been shot down by Nintendo themselves. They will be producing an next generation console. ATi has already partnered up with Nintendo for future products (didn't specify whether it would be for a GameBoy Advance2 or GameCube2).

Edit: Chadder007 beat me to it.

Well czar, I believe that the LORD is in control of the world. Men do have the choice to obey God or not to, but they do not escape God's touch, and nor does the next XBoxNET, ATi R400, NV35, etc escape the LORD.

To say that my post is worse than the Inquirer is really insulting you know.
Jab at the US?I guess you don?t like Microsoft then.
I don?t know about GOD but Hardware, game systems, computers and politics mix rather well.
I guess GOD has nothing to do with a lot of things that?s going on or not?

Well I was right in my previous post about R350 & RV350 before anyone else editor in the computer review sites and in contrary with many computer sites I was verified. Try to keep that good sense of humor in all your life?s perspectives.

Ehhhhhh this is just dribble from a babbling moron, anyone who believes a word of it should be put down so their genes don?t continue to affect the human gene pool.

Completely nonfactual BS.

It's sad about nintendo,

Gamecube is the first nintendo system I didn't get. they were kickin it for so long, but now they dont seem like they've go much to offer.

besides of course (mario, metroid, zelda, mario cart) even bond went cross platform

btw when is mariocart due out?

 

[SickBeast]

gamecube is worth buying for zelda and mario sunshine alone, imo. i'm waiting for the price to drop a bit more tho

Don't worry about Nintendo . . . they just set a record for the MOST PREsolds ever - 600,000 games - for the new Zelda.

What is that, over $30 million? . . . and you NEED a GBA to see everthing!!! cha-ching The reports of Nintendo's impending demise are greatly exaggerated and we will NEVER (ever) see WindWalker on X-box . . .

And Metroid Prime hasn't hurt their bottom line either.

Ironically enough, I did a search for Xbox, found this topic.

Found out he posted "Xbox 2 specs" a month or two back.

Linky

Specs are way off between the two you made now, and earlier...

Speculation is constantly updated.



I prefer to wait until it is **CONFIRMED** . . . because IF you make ENOUGH guesses, you are BOUND to be right OCCASIONALLY . . . and there IS such a thing as "informed speculation". However, although "fun", speculation - like masturbation - is ultimately a waste of time.

In my first article I said that the logical move from Microsoft to compete in performance level with the upcoming Sony Playstation 3 IS TO HAVE XBOX2 IN DEC 2006.We will see PS3 sometime in 2005.
And I wrote the specification Microsoft can achieve in DEC 2006.
In my second article I mentioned that SEVERAL SOURCES are mentioning that Microsoft will lunch Xboxnext in dec 2004.And I wrote the specifications.
I DID NOT REVISED THE SPECIFICATIONS.
I Just respond to the speculation regarding a 2004 XBOX2 scenario.
There are 4 possibilities, 3 favor SONY and 1 favor both.
1)XBOX2 Q4 2004, PS3 Q1 2005 SONY WINS
1)XBOX2 Q4 2004, PS3 Q4 2005 SONY WINS
1)PS3 Q1 2005, XBOX2 Q4 2006 SONY WINS
1)PS3 Q4 2005, XBOX2 Q4 2006 MAYBE BOTH WIN
