AMD ‘Be Invincible’ trailer gives a taste of Xbox One & PS4 tech

AMD has release a trailer called ‘Be Invincible’ that showcases it’s ‘A Series’ chipsets, which are housed within Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PS4 console

Excalibur3979d ago

Blocky worlds, no real texture, 6 colors in a cut scene, Impressive.....

TheBrownBandito3978d ago

The whole industry is waking up to a new style of configuration......except for the bedroom pcers who know more than the chip designers, obviously.

Be Invincible campaign:
AMD A-10 6800k APU Fire Strike 3DMark score: 1104

Those AMD APUs managed to perform at 10% of their desktop rivals! Be Invincible!

Wow, us "bedroom pcers" don't know anything!

SpinalRemains3978d ago

Do you also hear the sound of sucking through braces, like Shelly Marsh, whenever a PC gamer enters a thread and starts touting specs?

I just can't help it. It happens everytime.

claudionmc3978d ago

@blackmagic http://hardzone.es/wp-conte...

Games tested with Windows 7 and 1080p Mid graphics...

With an APU of $149 launch price... I think that this is awesome

I see your debate skills max out at name calling. Well done!

I think it was made by Digic Pictures, I don't think its their best work but some of the other stuff they have done is mind blowing:

Mariusmssj3978d ago

Digic does CGI what you saw there was running on in game engine

Excalibur3978d ago (Edited 3978d ago )

So 19 disagrees, do folks disagree with my sarcasm or were you really impressed with this?

fossilfern3978d ago (Edited 3978d ago )

I dont believe this has anything to do with the PS4/XB1 this is just some sort of trailer for their Richland APUs....

Nvidia will do better as always.

cyhm31123978d ago

i agree with you, haha, but that's what i expect from xbone graphically anyway, PS4 will be on another ballpark

CrossingEden3978d ago

0:53 no real textures? um you don't know anything about modeling and texturing kid, as an animation major it really gets on my nerves when people like you pretend to be an expert at modeling without ever doing it

ThatsGaming3978d ago

The impressive part of the demo is how large the world is, how many polygons are rendered, and how many polygons are moving all at once...

I doubt the demo was meant to be about color, texture, and blockiness.

Although the close ups of the people were very impressive.

And these will go in... Low end laptops

sourav933978d ago

I HAVE a low end (gaming) laptop, and I can tell you the PS4 isn't one, nor is the XBONE.

RevXM3978d ago (Edited 3978d ago )

Agreed, I think mid end is more accurate for these consoles.

Bear in mind peeps that Ps4 is more powerful than any of the low end setups AMD will offer any time soon.
I mean to recall hearing "twice the CPU cores" than the first bulk of Jaguar APU's and a tweaked graphics unit. Some specs up on the net gives you an idea what it can achieve (Both AMD spec and Ps4 specific) if you care enough to look and imagine to fill in the holes for things that does not directly compare both on the software (OS, API and optimisation)
and Hardware side (Like for instance how much will those 8GB of GDDR5 matter?)

Sure to me atleast the Ps4 spec were kind of a let down after the beast that is the ps3, but make no mistake, Ps4 is still a significant enough jump from the previous gen, and with enough power to exceed current real time graphics by quite a bit in theory. (Unless perhaps you count in stuff running on computer clusters or something in that alley)

We are in for a treat.

GDDR6_20143978d ago

I wasn't talking about ps4, just this APU.

TheBrownBandito3978d ago

And the divvy comment of the week award goes to.....

kwyjibo3978d ago

It goes to you, and everyone else who disagreed, which unsurprisingly for N4G is the majority of you.

These chips are rebranded laptop chips. They are not next-generation Jaguar cores.

But you fell for it.

TheBrownBandito3977d ago

@kwyjibo

When your IQ sneaks above your waistline, then we'll talk. Until then I'll stick with professional consensus.

DeadlyFire3978d ago

BS. these go in everything. Desktop, and laptops, as well as tablets.

AMD A series is an easier way to grab more GPU power. One APU + a mid range card now = high end graphics.

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__Merrin4d ago

Best for the money is the Arc cards

just_looken4d 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.

Eonjay35d ago (Edited 35d 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

MrDead34d 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.

darksky34d ago

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

Babadook734d ago (Edited 34d 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.

MrDead35d ago (Edited 35d 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_looken34d 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

MrDead34d ago

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

porkChop34d 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.

MrDead34d 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.

Goosejuice33d 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.

porkChop33d 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.
