Inside The Xbox One | AMD & Microsoft Developer Day Analysis & Breakdown | Tech Tribunal Part 1

There’s a good chance you’ve heard a lot about the insides of the Xbox One, but there’s much that’s still unclear regarding the CPU, eSRAM and its API. Microsoft have combined forces with AMD to hold an event which explains much of the jiggery-pokery inside Microsoft’s flagship console.

I should have put a question mark behind that. I've been reading on here (have to find the articles) that Microsoft were going to speak about some of this tech today. I'm probably wrong, as I am a lot, but I know I read something.

ITS TOMORROW...................... .

MasterCornholio4016d ago

Will they demonstrate the cloud today or is it just for DX12?

Lawboy24016d ago

@ software

it's tommorrow

Lawboy24016d ago

brainfart4016d ago

Its sunday no one is working on demo!!!

hello124016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

This is a slow news week, i guess.

This is information that came from the directx12 (AMD and Microsoft) conference held in Sweden last week, its not new. More info is coming out online, that's all.

Tomo we'll get more insight at ISCA http://i.gyazo.com/269d1ae9...

Will be an interesting talk i bet.

I'm not sure why some people are saying a cloud demonstration is happening tomo. As far as i know its only a speech about the xb1 system.

Lawboy24016d ago

A lot of ppl think it's a cloud demo because Phil said there will be a cloud demonstration coming soon...When he was asked about crackdown

hello124016d ago

Yes, he siad a demo was coming, but i don't think its tomo.

corvusmd4016d ago (Edited 4016d ago )

I'm skeptical that it will be the cloud demo tomorrow, would be sweet to see I guess, I but my feeling is that, that demo is a ways off still. Either way this is an interesting read. I'm not sure that anyone would be dumb enough to argue that the PS4 has the power advantage(esp without using ESRAM to it's full potential). However, everytime I read these articles it just makes it seem like the power gap isn't nearly as large as it first appears on paper. It just becomes more clear that they just work differently and don't nearly need the same power requirements. In most cases lately we are already seeing the power gap close...and hearing that ESRAM isn't simply just EDRAM 2.0 and that X1's current API doesn't do low level access as well as DX12 (and is still missing several other DX12 benefits)...it appears that there are several more benefits coming to X1 and that Devs have plenty of room to grow within the system as they learn the new aspects. It simply relies upon making it easy enough for the devs to WANT to take advantage of those things. If DX12 does what it looks to, and simply makes taking advantage of ESRAM easier, we may see some pretty good gains.

We are already seeing some pretty good gains with the June SDK (some people will say but but but Sunset Overdrive...keep in mind insomniac said that they felt that the game already looked great and that they would rather use that extra gpu to make the world more vibrant and alive....instead of a ghost town like another recent 3rd person open-world game).

Switch 2 accessory makers are “working hard” on magnetic analogue sticks to combat stick drift

Nintendo Switch 2 stick drift is already an issue, but accessory makers are already working on magnetic joysticks.

I've never had stick drift in any controller I've ever owned. All my joycons (3 sets) from my Switch are perfectly fine. My Switch 2 ones are good. Never had a dualshock / dualsense have it (did have a dualshock get a stuck trigger once). Even my Valve Index controllers which were notorious for drift were fine for me.

Varies. Just because you've never had one doesn't mean others won't. I've had PS, Xbox, and Nintendo controllers indeed drift on me. Remember the drift lawsuits that Nintendo has had.

Please stop trying to say that traditional potentiometers are absolutely fine when hall effect/tmr sticks are beyond superior lol, not sure why so many people keep trying to defend potentiometers when hall effects are so pro consumer.
Companies like nintendo, sony, and mcsft don't want to implement them simply because they want you the consumer to keep buying them. Most casuals will just buy a new controller if theirs difts, easy money for the big 3.
I've gone hall effects and have never gone back, can leave my controllers out absolutely fine without worry of dust ruining the sticks.

Neonridr1d 1h ago

when did I say that traditional joysticks are absolutely fine? I'm sharing my own experience here. I never said that others don't experience issues, nor that this is somehow acceptable. Strange leapfrog from A to B on that one.

People love to say it's a huge widespread issue, yet you only hear about it because the minority is vocal whereas the majority don't report anything because they are fine.

I'm happy you switched to hall effect sticks, if that's what works for you, then awesome.

Christopher1d 1h ago

Cool? Pretty sure this is for those who are having it happen. Not sure how your anecdote addresses other peoples' problems.

Neonridr21h ago

people around here act like everyone will get drift. I'm willing to wager more people won't get drift than will.

Pyrofire9538m ago

lucky you. I've only had minor drift once in my L Joycon which I fixed with some card stock, but drift is an undeniable problem as a whole.

jznrpg33m ago(Edited 27m ago)

The tech is already there. I had a couple of my PS5 controllers modded with Hall Effect modules and they work great. They should come standard with them these days but they don’t.

OtterX12m ago(Edited 12m ago)

Nyxi already made some fantastic Hall Effect controllers for Switch 1. I don't know why Nintendo couldn't have it by now if Nyxi has had for years.

Cat Quest III Is Heading to Apple Devices on August 8

"A big part of being a cat pirate is sailing the seas and traveling from place to place. What better way to do just that than by playing Cat Quest III on the go? Soon, aspiring kitty pirates will be able to enjoy the charming cat-themed action RPG on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. That should be a purrfect option for gamers who don't have the game on Switch or Steam Deck. The iOS version will still support 2-player local co-op, thankfully," says Co-Optimus.
