Wait, where do you think it originated?

i think with this we can kill the yield rumors. and no, i don't think that the 12GB rumor is dead yet. could be spacing good news to keep positive headlines...or it could be just a strategic move. the longer you sit on additions/improvements the better when you have competition. maybe...

Aw, you're not gonna CBOAT up a post and make it hardly readable? hints are more than welcome too ;) my ex-coworkers have basically lost access now to the higher level areas...so no more fun conversations about NDA-breaking things that i couldn't talk about anyways xD i thought they were full...

I'm currently running 8.1 on a hybrid tablet and my home pc. So far, it's quite a nice jump up from windows 7. There's a lot to "learn and unlearn" with this operating system and I'd imagine that is what's putting a lot of people off. The one issue that I have is that setting up the...

So... help me do the math here. Original spec: 8GB - 5GB/3GB split your first post was: 12GB - 7GB/5GB split what's the math now?

seriously. let's just believe they completely redesigned the entire APU and were able to prefab/test/etc. in a few short months. little hope of a miracle point though, if it did happen...it'd explain the yield issues lol and at least the move to 12GB and upclocking the GPU doesn't sound...

5GB does sound a bit overboard... but that would possibly allow indie devs more flexibility with their games. instead of being stuck with 1 GB or something ludicrous like that...it affords them a little breathing room. It also may be due to additional OS requirements and features. We...

Seems to be just your opinion about what the goals of each company are and with that is a set of bias. IMO Microsoft knew what they wanted to do, they just didn't articulate it in a cohesive manner. They let the messaging take over them. Therefore they made concessions to appease their...

From everything I've seen, I'm pretty sure this will be at gamescom. The shirts, the orb on the dash, the chatter about it...too much pointing to it being a title.

Been in a Korean film mood. Top 3 modern Korean movies: 1. I saw the devil - 10/10 - perfect revenge movie in so many ways. Amazing direction and pacing. 2. Man from nowhere - 9/10 - Great action, most adorable little girl and an interesting storyline. 3. Tidal wave - 9/10 - Best disaster...

Thank you :) I'll admit I'm a novice in this area, but I've always been interested in unique architectures. This really does seem the best place for discussion about hardware, something you can't get in many other places. I'll be delving into this tonight!

That notion comes down to... Has this technique ever been used on eSRAM before? If so, maybe they built it with this in mind, but were unsure on whether or not it could handle that type of maneuvering. It would make sense, considering we're nearing final silicon and the engineers would get...

So what I've gathered are there are a myriad of possibilities to explain DF's article: - Possible downclock - Possible upclock - eSRAM interfacing with something else on the chip? - additional pipeline functionality - myriad of other grab bag notions and ideas - something that we haven't...

if this is what he's talking about, what would be the positives of it in game development? The points from the panel are pretty vague, but there are interesting tidbits thrown in. I'd love to know more.

My apologies, Cyan posted in a different thread. I can't seem to find the "edit" button on this forum (new member), so I'll correct myself this way. If I'm missing something on the page that would allow me to edit, please feel free to PM me, I'd be much appreciated. Anyways, here is the post:
