so that makes the gamecube gen 5?

>>6679928
Nope.

>>6679924
>3rd gen
What this arbitraey concept even means in the first place?

>>6679952
It's the gen after 2nd and before 4th.

>>6679956
nope, its the gen after the lost gen and before 4th

>>6679946
you can't skip a gen, so shifting the SNES upstream one generation would also shift the N64, GBC and Gamecube up one generation each.

>>6679975
Of course you can. It just means Nintendo didn't have a 4th gen system. No need to rewrite the entire history of video games to fix this one error.

>>6679989
That doesn't follow at all, the fourth gen in this case would be the nintendo 64bit entertainment console

>>6679993
Wrong.

The R4300i is a derivative of the R4200 designed by MTI for embedded applications announced on 17 April 1995.

>>6679928
It makes Gamecube not retro, since it was released after 1999 ended.

100% gimped CPU, Nintoddlers eternally BTFO'd

They did cuck themselves by going with a brand new chip instead of using something cheaper and putting the pennies into the rest of the system. Made the same mistake with the cube too. Then they got their act together and used a 32 bit chip in the worldwide success Wii. The rest is history.

>Made the same mistake with the cube too. Then they got their act together and used a 32 bit chip in the worldwide success Wii.
Imagine being this retarded.

>>6680164
It's FACT.

>>6680175
The GC was a 32 bit machine. The Wii's CPU is a slightly tweaked and overclocked version of the Gekko, you dumb fuck. There's literally nothing wrong with the GameCube from a hardware standpoint.

>>6680197
So you're saying the Wii did use a 32 bit chip?

>>6680205
I'm saying you're completely wrong about the gamecube and are grasping at straws.

>>6680218
No, I'm completely right about the cube, it had a brand new chip. A mistake Nintendo avoided when they used a variation of that chip for the Wii five years later. Fucking retard.

>>6680227
Top fucking kek, you don't know shit. The first 700 series PowerPC CPUs had already been out for 2 whole years by the time the GC came out and the original R4200 had been available since 1993.

>>6679924
Sobering up in a mall parking lot in the middle of the day. Fuck where did it all go so wrong.

>>6680257
Wow 2 whole years you say? Like 24 actual months? Nigger.

>>6680289
>A chip based on a 2 year old iteration on a well known architecture is new and not well known.

>>6680331
>well known architecture
>used an entirely different process

>>6680384
>He thinks nodes alone make a huge difference to programming for a chip
Man, Broadwell sure was brand new and completely different from Haswell. Remember when no games that targeted Haswell ran well on Broadwell? Neither do I.

>>6680396
You mean apart from all the patches that were issued?

>>6680175
But it didn't sell games. Grandparents bought the wii to play wiisports that came with it and thats it.

Cry me a river.

>1 Wii Sports 82.90 million
>2 Mario Kart Wii 37.32 million
>3 Wii Sports Resort 33.13 million
>4 New Super Mario Bros. Wii 30.30 million

>>6680435
>Didn't sell games
>Proves it sold over 100 million of 3 titles alone

Watch out, we got a real Einstein here guys.

>>6680421
>B-b-b-but muh patches
Clock for clock, Broadwell was marginally faster than Haswell. If something ran well on Haswell it also ran well on Broadwell.

>>6680474
Apart from when it needed patching. (everything needed patches)

>>6680509
>everything needed patches
I'm sure Dolphin's devs went out of their way to patch the JIT to support Broadwell.
