[RUMOR]Microsoft Xbox One Could Possibly Feature a Powerful Discrete GPU Core Stacked Inside the APU

"Stacked" i don't believe it... but a kind of "mobile" similar GPU (768sp) part at 853Mhz in Xfire config is possible ... MSFT hasn't disclosed nothing about their "move" engines inside the "Main SoC" either, and for those that didn't pay attention, one of the best possibilities that hUMA/HSA has besides easier programing, is that it makes a pretty good seamless Xfire (half) protocol only by itself.
But of course PS4 could have it to( its also hUMA/HSA in large extent)... only doubt seriously it will be only ~$400 if it does.

gimp uses 1 core so it shows this advantage. Thats why in some games you see amd cpu get like 70fps at a higher clock then an intel cpu that gets like 130fps as the double ipc is in work.
edit: find realworld tasks that use 1 core that intel is not 2x faster with ivy bridge or haswell at same clock. Prove me wrong then if you think I am wrong.

Lol, I thought AMD already stated that their HD 9970 is with in 10% of a GTX Titan? So wouldn't that = a GTX 780 OC'd? Le gasp! At a better price point too!?!
If Tahiti is ROP bottlenecked and AMD is increasing ROPs by 50%, then I think we might see some hurt put on Titan.
Indeed...the HD 9970 is supposed to be roughly 34% faster than the HD 7970, which was not 34% slower than the Titan.
By comparison, the GTX 780 was only about a 20% increase over the outgoing GTX 680 for those who are curious. IIRC, the GTX 780 was billed as a "mini-Titan" in reviews. That makes the HD 9970 what...? The Titan Killer?
Haha, that puts 9970 performance at 108 frames in the Splinter Cell bench that was posted earlier.
I'm not a religious man, but I'd call it David slaying Goliath.
As for Steamroller, Seronx is claiming on OCN that desktop FX class CPUs are delayed because Steamroller B (bdver3b) started development in June 2012 after bdver3a was cancelled as it wasn't competitive enough with Haswell.
It was announced early August 2012 that Keller was back at AMD. Maybe I'm a dreamer but it looks like AMD is just going to push back Steamroller and give us something that has Keller's hands all over it, which means great things if you like AMD and long, sleepless nights of hot flashes, sweating, and nightmares if you're hajifur.
