Well leadbetter responded or df responded that some sony news will come soon. So hopefully we finally get a clear breakdown. I dont see sony holdimg hotchips conferences etc being as open with their hardware. They dont have to be to be honest, the onus is on msft. Still would like to see all conformation on stuff like cu's etc.
XBOunity
Open.? hahahaaaaaaaaaaa..............
Sony has been talking about his hardware since February 22 of this year,MS did not talk about the xbox one until may,they even cancel a showing in April,and let xbox fans to believe that non of the leaks were true,when in fact all were true,from weak hardware to horrible policies.
In fact there are article in DF talking about the PS4 hardware before MS even unveiled the xbox one..
What was intriguing was new data on how the PlayStation 4's 18-compute-unit AMD graphics core is utilised. Norden talked about "extremely carefully balanced" Compute architecture that allows GPU processing for tasks that usually run on the CPU. Sometimes, employing the massive parallelisation of the graphics hardware better suits specific processing tasks.
"The point of Compute is to be able to take non-graphics code, run it on the GPU and get that data back," he said. "So DSP algorithms... post-processing, anything that's not necessarily graphics-based you can really accelerate with Compute. Compute also has access to the full amount of unified memory."
"The cool thing about Compute on PlayStation 4 is that it runs completely simultaneous with graphics," Norden enthused. "So traditionally with OpenCL or other languages you have to suspend graphics to get good Compute performance. On PS4 you don't, it runs simultaneous with graphics.We've architected the system to take full advantage of Compute at the same time as graphics because we know that everyone wants maximum graphics performance."
Leaked developer documentation suggests that 14 of the PS4's compute units are dedicated to rendering, with four allocated to Compute functions. The reveal of the hardware last month suggested otherwise, with all 18 operating in an apparently "unified" manner. However, running Compute and rendering simultaneously does suggest that each area has its own bespoke resources. It'll be interesting to see what solution Sony eventually takes here.

But but only the xbox one was balance...:lol: But but only MS talk about hardware and how it works..
You know that by this time the xbox spec were still unconfirmed leaks right.? MS confirmed those on may,so please stop talking about been open Sony has been since February while MS remained silence for months.
