Both Wii U and 720 clock-speeds have been leaked by a well known hacker! Wii U: 720: The Wii U comes in at 1.24 GHz, but the 720 has 1.6 GHz. That doesn't say anymore for Microsoft than it does for Nintendo, folks. What does this say about the next console generation?  |

I don't expect the speeds of the Orbis to be no more than 2.5 Ghz at best, this generation will not be much of a leap if any in specs to simply put it, the reason the next gen will be stagnant in specs because it's far too expensive to produce consoles with 4-8 Ghz speed processors. Nobody wants to pay $700-$900 for a console, it's a reason why the 3DO didn't sell in the 90's.

It's not so much about CPUs anymore, it's the fact that companies are gravitating more towards GPGPUs, forcing developers to cope with that. To add fuel to the fire, the PS4 is rumored to utilize an APU (a CPU and GPU combined). See what I mean? |

It's like the Saturn and Jaguar all over again except now the devs are fucked in every path they turn to now and will have to deal with the complex architecture of those Processors, we won't be getting a whole bunch of games that take full or near full advantage of those processors until late in it's lifecycle if even that, the Saturn wasn't fully tapped nor was the Jaguar in it's lifecycle. |
