Prosystemsearch Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Jaguar was not a true 64-bit machine! It was a 32-bit/16-bit hybrid! Atari's marketing for the Jag were dirty liars!! IT should have used a different approach! :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roland p Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Are you angry? Being angry on the internet doesn't work very well. It's better to formulate your questions decently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaguars sound system was not 64 bit, it was only 16-bit like the Super NES, and the Sega Mega Drive. It's CPU might be 64 bit in some ways, I'll admit. But the graphics chip was only 32 bit. More of a hybrid if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixdownita Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I still think http://www.hillsoftware.com/files/atari/jaguar/jag_v8.pdf is an enlightening reading. "Jaguar contains two custom chips, code-named Tom and Jerry. For graphics, Tom contains the Object Processor, the Blitter and the Graphics Processor. For sound, Jerry holds the Digital Sound Processor. In addition to these, there is an external CPU, currently a 68000. When animating graphics there are therefore four processing elements, all of which have got specific roles to play. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 The fact that it had a 64-bit DRAM bus didn't help as much as they hoped. Unless your memory needs were completely linear, the wait states absolutely killed you. I don't consider the 64-bit thing to be a lie, I just think it's a meaningless spec in a modern console because there are so many different subsystems. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Well, as the O.P. knows, this topic has been around the block.. just waiting to flare up opinions. The bottom line is that the engineers made it 64 bit where it counts. The marketing shills boasted 64 bits where it doesn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
