Why is 4K and the new Playstation 4 so vague?

Compare this:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/ARM-TSMC-Cortex-A57-16nm-FinFET,21804.html

Three times as powerful, for same energy consumption, still do not know if TSMC process is close to Intel for true comparison.

There was a nvidia article I wanted to post a few weeks back, on the limitation of their process maxing out power gains, into increased power consumption in future. Also goes into async local processing schemes to keep power down, which is what the bunch I deal with does and holds patent on, and what I'm working on.

Wayne,

I think Nvidia's future architecture is bang on.

+) Ability for GPUs to directly talk to Each other, and main memory
+) Embedding of Very high speed ARMv8 cores using FinFet in their Denver project.
+) Designing a ISA that allows convergence between 'cell and supercomputer'

have a look at http://www.greenarraychips.com Antony, they predate with the async computing. I've been on them to make their architecture more fpu and gpu like, and they have a 32 bit design coming for tge top end. I suppose it wont be as functional as a gpu, but amazing nevertheless. if done right it shoukd be able to easily out do the nvidia architechture. If you read the article I posted, nvidia is topping out on the power to performance curve, GA isn't.

Hmm, looks like I still didn't post that article.
