AMD Hints At New Game Console

AMD, of course, knows the console market- currently, it provides the SoC solutions for all three consoles on the market, and given each console manufacturer’s newfound insistence on hardware continuity, it is likely that it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Therefore, when AMD talks about how it is providing hardware solutions for another, as of yet unreleased console, you have to sit up and take notice.

* Apple (pippin 2)
* Valve
* Google (not an android)
* Amazon (not an android)
* Take Two (they are opening up new studios like Campfire Entertainments and such other studios making me believe they're developing a console)
* Alienware (not Alpha but something dedicated to consoles instead of becoming nearly PC)
* A new company

traumadisaster3419d ago

Pos gamingbolt leaves out the most important quote from the original source:

"It is unlikely that AMD is talking about a new game console since they are sold in larger quantities and over longer periods of time."

ATi_Elite3418d ago

Dreamcast 2 oh boy that would be awesome but most likely new Nintendo console or some Android cell phone based home system like Ouya.

mixelon3418d ago

Lol, Pippin2 indeed. That's about as likely as Apple calling the next iPad the Newton. XD

If Apple do a "console" it'll be based on the integrated A-series chips - so just another slightly beefier AppleTV. (Basically a lot like the Amazon FireTV)

Edward753419d ago

How about a sega /Nintendo mash up!

Angeljuice3419d ago

More likely to be Nintendo's WiiU replacement. Nintendo will want to be in the number 1 position again or risk becoming marginalized, and they're fully aware that it isn't going to happen with the WiiU.

crashbash3418d ago

They've been the least selling console manufacturer a few times. They're still here.

They've been going far longer than any of the competition. They're still making a healthy profit.

I doubt very much that it is anything to do with Nintendo.

NarooN3419d ago

Most likely a Steambox or some other set-top box for Amazon, Google, Samsung, who knows.

SEGA? That would be too epic to happen. Of course Sega would have to get over their apparent fear of releasing anything beyond their borders first lol. Still waiting on a bunch of Yakuza games to get properly released stateside and elsewhere.

filchron3419d ago

but Yakuza aint shit. if sega could funnel the budget of the next 3 shitty Yakuza games into Shenmue 3 that'd be great..

Nintendo New Wii-U.
I'm calling it now!

OC_MurphysLaw3419d ago

Agrèed...based on the current trajectory of the WiiU a newer console is not far away for Nintendo.

filchron3419d ago

awful name. I'd go with something cool like the HyperNES or nintendo Revolution. enough playing with your Wii's nintendo!

RevXM3418d ago

Yeah Wii is silly and worn out. Wii-U is even sillier.
And leave "NEW" out of the name as well. I thought 2DS was kind of bad and they have all these names for reiterations and new versions for their DS systems (DS, DS lite, DSi, DSi XL..) but my head imploded at "NEW 3DS" or "NN3DS" for short...

Like... Who is making this shit up lol.

Angeljuice3418d ago

Nintendo have a recent history of terrible console names, it wouldn't surprise me if the next console was called "Wii-On-U".

dboyman3418d ago (Edited 3418d ago )

I agree. I always though the Wii naming sounded kind of stupid. In fact when I first heard of Wiiu at first I thought of a sound an ambulance makes then I thought of this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?...

Seriously Nintendo time for a better name..

TehDiTH3418d ago

You guys are TURRIBLE at names.

Its obviously Wii T(h)ree.

freshslicepizza3418d ago

it will be a new nintendo console and will come late 2016. it's called hydravision. a hybrid console and handheld.

Make your next GPU upgrade AMD as these latest-gen Radeon cards receive a special promotion

AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.

Father__Merrin21h ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken19h ago

In the past yes but last gen amd has gotten cheaper and there new cards are on the horizon making 6k even cheaper.

The arc cards are no longer made by intel but asus/asrock has some the next line battlemage is coming out prices tbd.

Do to the longer software development its always best to go amd over intel if its not to much more money even though intel is a strong gpu i own 2/4 card versions.

AMD FSR 3.1 Announced at GDC 2024, FSR 3 Available and Upcoming in 40 Games

Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.

Eonjay31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.

More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability

MrDead30d ago

I've been using a mod that allows dlss frame gen on my 3080 it works on all rtx series. It'll be good not to rely on mods for the future.

darksky30d ago

The mods avaiable are actually using FSR3 frame gen but with DLSS or FSR2 upscaling.

Babadook730d ago (Edited 30d ago )

I think that the leaks about the 5 Pro would debunk the notion that the two (FSR 3.1 and PSSR) are the same technology. PSSR is a Sony technology.

MrDead31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.

just_looken31d ago

Did you see the dell leaks were they are trying to cool cards using over 1k watts of power.

We are going to need 220 lines for next gen pcs lol

MrDead30d ago

That's crazy! Sounds like heating my house won't be a problem next winter.

porkChop30d ago

As much as I hate supporting Nvidia, AMD just doesn't even try to compete. Their whole business model is to beat Nvidia purely on price. But I'd rather pay for better performance and better features. AMD also doesn't even try to innovate. They just follow Nvidia's lead and make their own version of whatever Nvidia is doing. But they're always 1 or 2 generations behind when it comes to those software/driver innovations, so Nvidia is always miles ahead in quality and performance.

MrDead30d ago

I do a lot of work on photoshop so an Intel Nvidia set up has been the got to because of performance edge, more expensive but far more stable too. Intel also have the edge over AMD processors with better load distribution on the cores, less spikes and jitters. When you're working large format you don't want lag or spikes when you're editing or drawing.

I do think AMD has improved massively though and whist I don't think they threaten Nvidia on the tech side they do make very well priced cards and processors for the power. I'm probably going with a 5080 or 5090 but AMD will get a little side look from me, which is a first in a long time... but like you said they are a generation or two behind at the moment.

Goosejuice29d ago

While I can't argue for amd gpu, they aren't bad but they aren't great either. The cpu for amd have great. I would argue the 7800x3d as one of the best cpu for gaming right now. Idk about editing so I take ur word for that but gaming amd cpu is a great option these days.

porkChop29d ago

@Goosejuice

I have a 7800X3D. It certainly is great for gaming. Though for video editing, rendering, etc, I think Intel have the advantage from what I remember. I just mean from a GPU standpoint I can't support them.
