I fully expect next-gen consoles to use custom ARM CPU's. You could go on a very long time explaining why ARM instead of Ryzen.
Ryzen is a premium AMD I.P. that neither Microsoft or Sony have any interest promoting or investing in. Ryzen is a PC/server architecture that is 'over-core' (too much...
Maybe internally, Intel has been directing its R&D at future Apple SoC foundry business over their own Crap Lake cores. Selling Apple modems and fabbing their iPhone/iPad/future Mac SoC is probably a bigger business than its x86 processors at this point. It's not like they've had to answer a...
GPU die-stacking tech sounds like some media invention to pump shares of AMD, which reeks of desperation and futility. AMD's smart market positioning is going to position themselves out of the market as a 3rd rate has been. AMD s going for being K-mart, Compaq, or Ford Taurus as some goal. CPU...
Totally agree with AMD ARM chip switch. 100%. This is exactly why I want AMD to be acquired by one of the ARM players, i.e., Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, or Softbank and be turned into an ARM CPU and GPU building powerhouse. Can you imagine what AMD could do with the proper resources and funding...
EPYC not getting any meaningful server wins. Ryzen finding a little success after years of Intel market exploitation. GPU badly behind NVIDIA. ARM rising in Mac, Windows, server, and gaming.
I'm tired of supporting AMD and holding hope for them. Don't see that they are ever going to achieve...
Speaking of market cap.. AMD has no hope to remain a viable direct competitor to NVIDIA and Intel's GPU's, time to sell RTG to somebody that can properly fund them.
Great thoughts, I would just extend them a bit more and say that x86 is done and Intel can see the writing plainly on the wall. Don't forget Microsoft's ARM transition across all segments, they're are doing the same i.e. custom ARM w/ propierary AI accelerators. I expect Microsoft to make the...
Check this out, AMD's ARM flavor of ZEN, K12, reportedly outperforms ZEN x86-- https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/david-kanter-amds-arm-core-will-be-10-faster-than-their-x86-one-ditch-bulldozer.2395754/
Another source, Jim Keller, former Apple/AMD engineer genius that designed Apple A7 and...
x86 is dead, the time of its inevitable technological obsolescence is here. ARM has been on an easily identifiable disruption trajectory with x86 since smartphones began (actually even earlier than that). The ubiquity of the ARM ISA will explode in the next couple of years with the incoming IOT...
Not that I don't think your logic is spot on, but this entire article from SemiAccurate was nothing more than a pathetic attempt to pump AMD's stock from its recent low of $9.50. That is why it was trolling a '18 release along with items like '8 core Zen' and 'Navi' that would be favorable to...
Blatant SJW p.o.s. Disney took a crap on Star Wars legacy to push their corporate 'progressive' agenda for global enslavement. FU, Disney. Reactions to TLJ are a litmus test whether a person is awake or not.
Sony's new console will be called PS4K and be equipped with a 16 core, 7nm Jaguar derivative CPU codenamed 'Lynx'. PS4K will release Spring '19 alongside PS4 Slim 2.0 featuring the same 7nm CPU in an 8 core cluster.
PS5 is an entirely different beast altogether being developed between Sony...
Win32 is the legacy bloat dragging Windows performance down. There is a lighter/faster, high performance, better Windows to be had when it drops Win32 bloat.
Nothing is going to be lost in terms of pro-use, whether they be virtualized or otherwise, other avenues will be opened for pro's...
In another thread there was a defense of the perpetual technological relevance of Win32 against UWP, S-mode, etc. ITT there is a defense of ICE (internal combustion engine). Truly baffled by this perspective of defending technology nearing antiquation, as if any technology is going to defy the...
I'm actually replying on a Windows 8.1RT Surface RT tablet. I own other Windows/Surface and Android devices, but Windows 8.1 RT is actually by far my favorite tablet experience. Very much looking forward to the post-Win32 future of consumer Windows. For me Windows RT/on ARM were not failures...
Totally. Sony could work with NVIDIA to adapt a custom ARM core specifically for use in PS5 along with its GPU, and the result would be a beautiful, state of the art, next-gen console SoC design.
Could I ask you to please expand upon your conviction for ARM in consoles?
I am certainly of this...
Offering different specs for the sake of discussion..
I think hardware backwards-compatibility will be thrown out the window for having the best hardware so---ARM/NVIDIA.
ARM is a Japanese owned company now and all the game consoles (as well as mobile games) sold in Japan now are ARM based...
