Can you believe if the new XBOX and PS3 launch in 2013/2014 they could have twice the power of this GPUs?

Twice the power of Cayman and GF110? Or twice the power of 6990/590?

Just so you know. PS3 was a 7800GT in 2006. An 8800GTX was more than twice as fast as that + DX10

My bad lol I don't mean twice the power of 6990s; I mean they could have considerably more power than the 6990.

can't wait for next gen of consoles!

Consoles face the same heat and power issues as modern PCs. So I doubt they will be able to do that.
 
Sorry if this is the wrong thread.

Already on sale at overclockers.uk

The Cayman GPU is in a 40nm part. By Next year we will see a 28nm process. In 2013 we could see a 22nm process, which would be a huge upgrade in performance per watt. With a 22nm process, you could certainly fit 2 Cayman chip dies in 4/5ths of one single Cayman die using the 40nm process. These improvements in fabrication process along with optimizations in code, would make the Unreal Engine 3.975 easily achievable by consoles released in 2013.

The Cayman GPU is 2010 technology. The Xbox 360's Xenos GPU was far more than twice as powerful as the highend GPU from 2003 (two years before 360 launched).
 
In 2013 we will have 14nm gpu's, I think a 14nm gtx580/6970 like gpu in a console is doable. 4x better than the current 7900gtx/2900xt performance in current consoles.
