Microsoft Xbox Reveal Event - May 21, 2013

[Tap In]

Cloud compute confirmed.

 

[Phil]

I really wonder how well this stuff works once it's actually in your living room. Surely this stuff is faked as much as all other events of this scale - you can't allow for cockups.

Anyhow, as others have mentioned - not all that exciting for us europeans so far. And I actually quite like my living room the way it is, but I guess I'm a bit old school...

 

[Strange]

Cloud Storage you mean

 

[Tap In]

"Special" relationship with EA

 

[Laa-Yosh]

You mean sports games.

 

[Laa-Yosh]

Also, anyone noticed the comment about persistent worlds? Nextgen Blizzard MMO maybe?

 

[Billy Idol]

Did not say exclusive?!?

Extra exclusive dlc confirmed?

 

[McHuj]

ESRAM ~ 2B
7790 ~ 2B
1B for the CPU, Audio, and any other blocks.

 

[Deleted member 7537]

Anyway, take the 5billion transistors claim cautiosly.

 

[Tap In]

Cloud Storage you mean

Data centers can provide "direct game computation"

computation

 

[GrimThorne]

how much would 32mb 6t esram be?

Ranger 5 Billion is HUGE, we're talking at least 4t

 

[bkilian]

Cloud Storage you mean

No, compute. "Developers can leverage the network of servers for direct in game computation" or something like that.

 

[Rangers]

ya the eSRAM should be 32*1024*1024*8 bit*6T= ~1.6billion transistors

Not sure about Jaguar core and the 12 CU GPU.

that's a big chunk.

leaves 3.4. hd7770 is 1.5b, so 12 cu should be like 1.8.

but maybe the dma engines etc add some trans.

still leaves 1.6, too many for even the beefiest cpu in that scenario.

counting shape block?

dedicating 1.6b trans to the esram...shit, if true, it's got to help performance a ton.

 

[Nisaaru]

how much would 32mb 6t esram be?

around 1.6B

 

[Laa-Yosh]

I think it just means something like dedicated servers that are unified across all Xbox One games and dynamically allocated.

 

[Strange]

You can call Simcity "cloud compute" too. I'm very cautious what they're doing with it until we have hard examples.

 

[L. Scofield]

Boy did that engine reveal sucked.

Edit: spoke too soon xD

 

[Ruskie]

Pretty bad conference for now.

 

[Deleted member 7537]

Plz EA show gameplay or at least inengine something...

He spoke of persistent worlds and bigger MP.
