No interweb access also means no virtual console access though. I'd like playing some old N64 games on a modern-ish (barely) console.

" lacks GameCube compatibility"

Also try Bing my Homescreen for windows 8, the name should explain what it does, you can set the update interval and always have something interesting to look at.

Not DVDs or blu rays, but USB drives

I figured it would sell well, but not Wii-well.

This was the guy who recommended genital mutilation to help curb masturbation, wasn't he? He thought carbic acid to the clitoris was a good idea.

It's a bad thing for kidneys that are already bad. For healthy kidneys it's not an issue in reasonable amounts.

Sauce for both?

It does both that and helps store ATP.

The resolutions of TVs doesn't advance as fast as computer hardware.

I think this gen was excessively long too. But I only want them to change over to not hold back PC ports, so there's that. 5 years sounds pretty ideal, 4 is too short, 7 is nuts.

Where does it indicate this developer was only talking about clock speed, and not actual performance? He does this for a living, I doubt he thinks clock speed = performance.

It's in the *rumored* specs, Nintendo hasn't disclosed any information like that so it's all guesswork. But fine, lets say its 2.9GHz, my point about transistor budget still stands, there's a reason something with a transistor budget similar to an Intel Atom can't have very high instructions per clock. Clock speed…

Clock speed doesn't tell you much. The Anandtech teardown shows that this 45nm CPU is 30mm2 in size, that's about the same transistor budget as a single core Atom. Cell and Xenon are still over 100mm2 on 45nm, and Cell only had 200 million transistors or so. There is only so much instructions per clock you can do on…

3MB eDRAM used as an L2 cache replacement.

GPUs are great for physics, but not things that are branch heavy like AI.

Is anyone surprised, considering that both at 45nm it's about the size of a single core Atom (30mm2)? Same size on the same fabrication process means similar transistor budgets. Even the Cell and Xenon on 45nm are over 100mm2. There's a reason CPUs with higher instructions per clock generally have more transistors.…

That's exactly what I'm saying.

"Or are you saying Pentium 3's on 250 nm are not as powerful as Duo Cores on 65nm."
