• 47 gpu core possible?

My friend said that the PS3 has a 47 Core GPU. I dunno if he's being a console fag or is just technically smart since he is kind of.
Yes it's possible, no the PS3 doesnt have one

[QUOTE=nerdygamer;18513779]Tell him he is a dumb ass.[/QUOTE] This, that'd be a massively expensive piece of equipment, and even though the PS3 requires megabux, this is more in the region of superultramegaboosterbux. Also your avatar confuses and enrages me.
It will be possible in ten years
You shouldn't believe your friend so easily, he doesn't speak honestly.

I just want to show this page so I'll prove him wrong.
Aren't shaders considered cores kind of? Like the Radeon 4800s have 800 stream processors?

Tell him the PS3 has [b]one[/b] GPU comparable to the 7800-7900 GT. [editline]03:27PM[/editline] 47 GPUs inside something as small as the PS3 = Fire.
No it doesn't but it has 300+ million transistors.

Ha ha that video is sweet.
The only conventional computer with above 15 cores(/GPU's) is the NVIDIA Peronal Super Computer, featuring their Tesla series GPU. It has 960 proccessing cores (no, not stream proccessors, cores.) [img]http://www.topnews.in/files/nvidia-tesla1.jpg[/img] Of course, it still costs tons of money despite its name (peronal, lol), its intended for companies with high proccessing demands that can't afford a true super-computer. I think its in the $60k'ish range. Gamers, don't get excited, it does not have video output, it comprises of GPU's intended only for proccessing, not outputting to a monitor. I don't think it uses DirectX, either. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Tesla_Personal_Supercomputer[/url] So no, a PS3 has no where near that much GPU cores.

Call them whatever the hell you want, they're not separate gpu cores. You wouldn't expect to fit 960 goddamn gpus in a case of that size, would you? They'd pump out at least 100kW worth of heat when it's running.

When you buy these things, you get about 40-60 of them, it doesn't use conventional technology like SLI, etc, and that ad I posted is probably just the glorified version Nvidia shows off to everyone. I would assume that the real thing would come in server-style cases.

Nvidia calls them "CUDA cores" only to make them sound awesomer than they really are when you've got hundreds of them on a single chip.
