According to recent Mercury Research numbers, global CPU shipments are recovering, and the market has grown 13.8 percent sequentially in Q1, but year-on-year it's still down 2.9 percent.
Nvidia is allegedly testing GPU coolers to handle up to 600W for the 50 series, reigniting discussion of melting 16-pin connectors.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
Has the rapid growth of Xbox made the ship too heavy? Following the closures of Tango Gameworks, Arkane Austin, and Roundhouse, we explore what the future of Xbox could look like.
This ship was never meant to sail, this ship was made from the get go to sink as fast as possible. It almost feels that they want to lower the standards of quality in the industry so that they can fit in
I disagree, Xbox from the get go innovated and changed the industry. They did a lot of firsts and standardized a lot of others. It wasn’t till the beginning of the Xbox1 era that things started to go south.
Yep, although I’d argue it started going to shit when they tried to hock Kinect on their audience instead of continuing to invest in their studios and IPs. 2001-2010 Xbox was peak gaming, though.
@Stevonidas
I agree they never should have focused on it after the 360 era. But you do have to remember they were faked out by the huge volumes of Kinects sold. To quote info on Wikipedia, “Project Natal, It was first released on November 4, 2010, and would go on to sell eight million units in its first 60 days of availability.” So if your Xbox and see these huge sales on a peripheral where are you going to put some money? Criticism in hindsight is worthless…..if only we could all see our future. In other wards they had no way of knowing. Plus they had engagement numbers and a lot of signs pointed to people wanting it.
Their biggest mistake wasn’t the Kinect, but unlike Sony after the PS3 debacle. They didn’t double on down on exclusive good games. The other huge mistake was letting Call of Duty go to Sony.
Xbox has no soul and Phil has no confidence, and it's impossible to say either do when they killed Tango and Arkane Austin.
Everything they've said since has only made them look worse to a point that they're actually less competent than Embracer.
Whe you release something like the series S and expect it not to hurt your business model, and developers have to have parity with games. Then you know Microsoft don't care. Series s is the final nail that broke developers,
I used to be AMD guy but damn they have been lagging behind for awhile. After Core 2 Duo I thought AMD will pull of something new but they shot them self. Now I'm an i7 guy...sorry AMD you were not in the game.
yeah AMD has fallen short, for to long.
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16GHz, 6MB L2 £148.61
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz, 2MB L2, 6MB L3 £131.66
Bench of both these CPUs side by side

as you can see a Intel dual core is better than an AMD quad.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz, 4MB L2 £104.99
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz, 2MB L2, 6MB L3 £131.66
in this its 50/50 almost but again i would say Intel just edges it.

My Q6600 is clock at 3.6GHz this is default.
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2.40GHz, 8MB L2 £162.96 (£120 June 2008 purchase date)
AMD Phenom II X4 940 3.0GHz, 2MB L2, 6MB L3 £131.66
again about 50/50 but AMD just edges it.

AMD need to act fast, ATI is also lagging behind nvidia, with its older SIMD tech.
If you study about CPU architecture you know L2 is better than L3. In fact Far far better. Producing L2 is much more expensive therefore they opted for L3 which is slower than L2.
