Las komparaciones son bastante kuriosas, pero no es nada nuevo, la mayoría de los fabrikantes de chips las hacen por el estilo.
Enkuanto al NV2a:
How powerful is NV2a?
Bill Gates stated that the graphics chip would do 1 trillion operations per second. According to the official Xbox site, the NV25 produces churning of 300 million micropolygons/particles a second, 150 million transformed & lit polygons a second, & 100-200 million polygons per second sustained performance (with shading & texturing applied).
Is the NV2a the same chip in the GeForce3?
No. The GeForce uses an NV20.
Why do some people label the NV2a as "NV27.5"
This was related to an earlier statement by J. Allard concerning the xbox's GPU.
"Well what we've always called it officially is the NV2A. A lot of people have called it the NV25, but nVidia told us to call it the 2A instead & there are two reasons for that: one, the NV25 in the event that nVidia wouldn't use that part would be a PC part & it would be put in here. The second thing is the part that we have in the box is not just a super clocked NV20 but it actually draws some of the geometry features out of the NV30. So if you put a label on it, it's really an NV27.5 or somewhere in that range in terms of the family. But it doesn't really have an official name so we're settling on the NV2A & calling it a day at that. As you know we upped the CPU & downgraded the GPU recently but we'll still have the three times performance we were shooting for.
Is the GeForce 4 faster than the Xbox GPU?
Yes it is, but only by a little. You also have to take into consideration that the GeForce 4 is going to be run on the graphic intensive Windows systems so the performance still may not reach that of the Xbox.
