?of course that's not dev kits.

Let's think about other potential 8s:
-8 players/users at once on one console
-Kinect 2 supporting up to 8 players. 8 player party games at launch
-$8 / mo live infinite plan. Unlimited streaming, cloud storage, and 8 game rentals per year
-8 colors to choose from at launch
-8 players/users at once on one console
-Kinect 2 supporting up to 8 players. 8 player party games at launch

Also:I mean, as a novice engineering wise, at a glance at the components I would say thereabouts or higher? But I'm not sure about that at all. It seems too good to be true.Originally Posted by ghst:

answer on an anonymous postcard.
It's not IBM.Originally Posted by McHuj:
I don't think IBM has a 28nm process.

just throwing this out there: the xi3 runs at 20 watts of power consumption. the wii u is 50. durango and orbis are ~170-200.
Well I guess there are a lot of disfunctional people /attention whores that want to get their quarter of celebrity
Some are good at it it seems.
Anyway, Nvidia did not let a word slip about its Shield project, to the point that it is so unexpected that reception is completely tedious it seems, people doesn't like to be taken their pants completely down I guess...
MSft made a great job with Natal too.
At this point I just decided to wait , too much headaches.

Any thoughts to Durango being AMD's equivilent to Larabee.
Wii U's bloody ridiculous.
For OS footprint, look at everything XB360 can do in 32 MBs. It can already do pretty much everything you could really want, so why would you need anything above 10x as much RAM to achieve the same ends? Look at a smart-phone, doing any job in 256 MBs RAM. 1 GB is probably the top end of OS consumption needed next gen, and that's calculated by having 8 gigs of slow RAM that a game can't make use of frame to frame so you may as well make it 7 gigs and partition off 1 gig for the OS devs to fool around with video-chat special effects and storing masses of open webpages.
I don't understand what you mean. One's a console and the other's a CPU architecture.
I did think and hope that, but early reports of load times suggests otherwise. Maybe that's Nintendo not having finished their firmware though and eventually it will be disk cache?

Well yeah...so i doubt that he's(Aegis) just one of those run of the mill attention whores since he actually has sources. But we still don't have any context about anything until Microsoft says so :/
So i was thinking...yeah at the very least we can expect a jump from 360's GPU to Durango because of the smaller die process and general improvement of efficiency of the AMD chips since Xenos was created. I was wondering if we even have some sort of measure for these jumps in efficiency for every family of GPU, and if it actually makes a difference in regards to games.
I've seen a lot of people comparing flop to flop from 2005 to 2013 architectures without taking into account that these numbers may not be set in stone from every family.
Also yeah, i'm thinking Nintendo's 1GB fiasco is just that they are not good with OS's and since 2GB of DDR3 was the cheapest they could buy in bulk, they went with that and divvied it up between OS and games so they would not have to actually take too much time getting what they wanted in the OS to run.

Larabee was actually a hybrid gpu.
My point is that maybe Durango isn't your typical gpu.....
Larrabee was a manycore throughput x86 design that had some TMU blocks.
Nothing in the rumors, even the outlandish ones, has gone in that direction.

AMD already has nice proven well-oiled working architecture that has been refined for last 8 years. Why would they try to do something radical?

True, nothing specifically but all reliable indicates that it's not a typical amd gpu.
Hey, anything to avoid another round of it's an 8xxx.......
