I had a dream the new Xbox turned out to be pizza. They promoted it by giving it away door to door. The special sauce was just their recipe for red.

I can go either way. Especially considering I'm working when it launches. I'm still amazed we haven't heard anything legit yet.

It's a brilliant tactic. :smile:
That's some creative maths right there ....
But only if you have real info & you're an unknown.
Sorry couldn't resist. Tommy McClain
If nobody here can safely say how the HW design looks like how can we know they are limited by 28nm constraints? If you look for 20nm news these days you see them pop up more and more.

I don't know about that. It very well may be the case that we know exactly everything about the hardware aspect (despite people holding out hope for changes), but do not have a clear picture of the software and services side of things.
But did the marketing call it Pie?
Most recent estimates for mass produced 20nm are early 2014, mid 2014 being more likely.

It's not the specs changes i'm talking about .... we've seen the ps4 devkit and the controller before the announcement .
Nothing here .

Sounds good to me... Xbox 3.14159... or Xbox π
Whatever they pick nobody will like it. LOL

I thought maybe it would be called Xbox Σ or Xbox Sigma since the Σ looks like a backwards 3, but then I found this & thought maybe it's just Xbox since the sum of every number equals zero. LOL
Only if it turns out to be a tablet or comes with one.

If you can do it with a low enough overhead, it allows the game a single consistent view of the system regardless of what the system is doing with the game.
Suspend/Resume being the obvious case, but it's equally true for reducing the resources available to a game transparently while something else is in the foreground.
An example might be if you are acting as the server in an online game, and swap to a browser mid gameplay, rather than pausing the game, you could reduce the resources available, and make the browser more responsive while it's in use. The game doesn't even know it's been shuffled to less cores, though you probably would inform it that it no longer needs to render.
I do wonder if games have to deal with device lost like events on Durango though, In a VM like world the hyper visor can probably reset the GPU. You wouldn't have the resource recreation issue you have on PC, but any incomplete frames and longer running compute jobs would have to be restarted.
