Posted October 24, 2006 If this is true, then I expected the specs to be around about that, except wow that's a lot more cache than the Gamecube has! That should hopefully make a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 24, 2006 It doesn't make sense to me. Nintendo Europe doesn't hire hardware testers because everything is tested in Japan where it's made. I can imagine they give software testers a spec sheet but I can't see them just detailing about the hardware architecture like you do. The specs are pretty much that now, so no credit to you but to IGN even though there are a lot of people quoting that now. They're not good at all, Nintendo should've been able to do better than that really. The CPU has been modernized, luckily, with a better FPU and an expansion of the Gekko instruction set. Edit: OK, I don't believe a single word you're saying. You're the random spammer popping up once in a few months that thinks he knows about hardware. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 24, 2006 Well it's pretty much a repeat of what we knew months ago. Plus NOE only does localisations, and I also cannot understand why a games tester would be handed a spec sheet. Also these things are all apparently gold now. That includes all hardware and launch games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 24, 2006 lol, all the funky numbers in the world mean very little, it's all about how the games actually look. I'm sick of people trying to bamboozle others with techno-jargon! I want to see pretty games, not impressive that someone has got from a 'mate in the biz'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 24, 2006 I won't be questioning if this is true or not, but we've know for ages that the "soaped up Xbox" title given by IGN was bullshit at best. They've shown their lack of knowledge for GC's architecture later on too, when they said Wii, just like GC lacked shaders... Now, what is said on the first post... The specs are probably true, but it can't be judged by comparing numbers directly like a n00b when buying a new PC or IGN does. GC had 7 stages (if I'm not mistaken) Xbox's celeron has 17 stages... and Xenon and Cell have about 30 stages, Wii's CPU should be blazing fast for it's clock speed. Anyone interested in the matter could know that though, you don't need to work at Nintendo. Xbox hit 15 million polygons at 30 frames per second though... Whereas GC did 15 Million polygons on launch date at 60 fps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
