The New Xbox. XBOX ONE
- Thread starter Goodjacky
- Start date
I highly doubt that, seeing as the browser and TV will be technically idle when playing a game, they will not need any major CPU power, and I imagine the applications only use a small amount of RAM, about 1GB-2GB all together, although I imagine Kinect voice recognition will be using a fair bit of CPU power. But it will likely be compressed in RAM and de-compressed when needed, or some of the data stored on the hard drive cache (which is built in-house so may have a SSD cache or similar)
I'm sure I read somewhere (might of been TechRadar) that the GPU is an AMD model similar to/based on the 7970M mobile chip. So theoretically about the performance of a desktop 7850/7870 and with the optimisation of console games - not too shabby. Assuming the information was correct.

I said tri sli ;(
Besides with all the cheeky smoke and mirror effects of console games were going to have some breathtaking games, uncharted 3/god of war 3/ascension look as good as ''some'' recent pc games... And I'm sure there were some good looking games on the 360 too
Well, how do the specs compare to PC hardware? I can't find anything in that article (or elsewhere) showing how the AMD CPU or GPU compare to their lineup for PCs?
And how much would such a spec cost?
This presentation was for the hardware and new features (which includes some stuff related to playing games, e.g., increased server support, but "You can play games" is not a new feature). There will apparently be a separate presentation for new games (which, after all, aren't what MS are making).
Given that an increasing number of "smart TV" technology is happening through existing consoles, and given that on demand TV etc is inevitably going to take over in the coming years, it would have been foolish of MS not to build on this. (And people who don't want it, can carry on not using it. I mean, are people seriously saying that they would actively not get something, because it had features they didn't use, even if it still did things they liked?) Let's not forget all the people who bought Playstations to get a Blu-Ray player.
Which reports, do you have a reference?
(I say all this as a PC owner who's never had a console.)

Bit off topic, but i love all the PS lovers out there slagging off the looks and styling of the Xbox One...
...ironic in that Sony didnt actually (have the balls to) show their hardware last month.
The PS4 might look like a Minidisc player for all we know, and then who'd be laughing?

It would have been a generation ahead, 2 years ago
The article says the architecture is also ahead, XB1 is on 40nm (apparently) and PS4 is supposedly 28nm I think, my bulldozer is more than 18 months old now (nearly 2 years) and its a 32nm manufacturing process, and Intel are releasing a 22nm in a few weeks. Intel have also had success with as little as 14nm and other companies have had <10nm
Generation ahead my a**

Haha, that (very long) gif made my Friday, thanks rick!
Most valid point about the xbox one I've seen.

That's nearly twice as much as I've seen it elsewhere for pre order. We could have a whip around and do this. That could be you in the furry coat.
