Thanks for the response.

At least for Microsoft, is there a chance we could see a reappearance of some form of Skybridge? Four Zen cores and four ARM cores combined with a Vega GPU. Save some space and cost. They seem to be doing well getting Windows code working on ARM. Also I've been wondering how much help a HPU...

The GPU would be purely AMD so that should still qualify as "semi".

Is it possible the third AMD chip win is a custom APU for Apple? Apple CPU cores attached to a Radeon gpu. That would be their base model with a discrete GPU for heavy lifting for some.

I think people who believe Microsoft would sell or drop Xbox are looking at it based on what fanboys and stockbrokers playing games with peoples money. There are plenty of people here that have an understanding of how consoles are made. Everyone knows Microsoft lost a ton of money on the...

I'm not sold on the idea of 15TF consoles for the sake of pushing graphics solely. I think we might see dual GPUs in the next generation. The real problem with gaming is stagnation in gameplay. What we need are better mechanics and more power to allow developers to push their imaginations. What...

Thank you Robot. You're one of the good ones. Elon Musk has no issue with you. You're free to go.

On cost to developers I thought Microsoft said that dedicated servers were free to developers. I would think that they are making more than enough from corporate clients to fold any gaming use in for free. Actually here's a post about it...

I was wondering if each server(virtual server) could be assigned to a specific area. It's responsible for calculating every instance in it's region. If something is going to leave it's region it sends the instructions to that server so it can be ready for that item to arrive and to calculate...

I hope the Crackdown footage is real and believe it is. The thing that makes technology great are the leaps people didn't see coming. People thought Netflix streaming was a joke not too long ago. On a previous subject, I think EA might have already found a solution for the server being shutdown...

Is the Last Guardian being rewritten? I had always assumed the reason this game has taken so long to release is that it was actually just a tech demo. I think Sony got caught up in a uproar tornado and just couldn't say sorry, this was a demo not a game.

I'm not a proper anything. Well maybe smartphone user. I had mentioned before that I thought BC was possible. That theory was based, however, on my ignorance of how computers truly work. But the reason I thought it was possible was because my layman's understanding of the Xbox One was that it...

Windows has always worked with many architectures. Including PowerPC. Since Xbox One is getting Windows 10, why won't it get that same ability to work on many architectures. Including Xbox 360?

I think that changes once AMD releases their next card.

With DX12 coming do you guys think budget gaming rigs will start using more APUs as the processor if its true about the API sees both GPUs as a single unit?
