[GT]AMD claims it will power another gaming device (New Nintendo)

[TwistedDictator]

Comments made by AMD's Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Devinder Kumar, suggest AMD will be making its way into another major gaming device, other reports suggest. The gaming device in question, and the brand that will be producing it, were not named, but the new deal could prove equally lucrative for AMD.

Kumar also commented that "one [design win] is x86 and [another] is ARM, and at least one will [be] beyond gaming, right...But that is about as much as you going to get out me today. From the standpoint [of being] fair to [customers], it is their product, and they launch it. They are going to announce it and then […] you will find out that it is AMD’s APU that is being used in those products."

It seems like people only read the title lol. Another company (which is not named) has approaced AMD to make them a custom APU like they did for the PS4. This could be a good thing for the PC community if they make the chip better then the PS4 so then we (PC) can get better ports then the shitty xbone and ps4 ports.

Another major gaming device? 
 

Yea, cause locking yourselves into both consoles CLEARLY already turned your business around, am I right?

Yay for people just posting trying to get it in before someone else does.

Let me just say, fuck off ARM. Intel's x86 architecture is also becoming really fucking good at the low power stuff while being more powerful than arm.

Also that quote is really hard to read and I still don't quite know what the hell he means, something something ARM something AMD APU

APUs have a lower power consumption and can outperform an Intel chip using its intergated graphics. Console are a gaming platform that require graphic power. If they went for a intel chips they be prepared for shitter graphics unless you add a GPU which will then lead the console to cost higher.

 

AMD is the only one that can provide powerful GPU+CPU X86 all in a low power packaged in a SOC.

If it bring them business then what wrong with that?

Please....stop trying to make a pseudo-console, it isn't going to work.

Betting it's a tablet made to compete with the Shield.

Plot twist: Nintendo killing off Wii U and 3DS early, and the third device is related to QOL.

Dreamcast 2 confirmed.

Double Plot-Twist: Nintendo Ports every single 1st party Wii U game to PC, and every single 3DS game to Android (specifically Shield)

That's not a plot twist; that's a pipe dream.

That's great. Doesn't mean people should do it.

Could this be the upgraded Xbone that was wildly rumoured a few months ago?

Wait? What? You can "Best Answer" yourself in a Thread you started, whz... edited a few times to fix grmmr

 

/answer makes sense, though someone's going to disagree.

Well hello there famous.  B)

Is this where we get our members out and measure up?

I've been posting here for 3 weeks, been on the Wan Show twice, does that make me double famous? God?

Fucking hell, if your shallow enough to post here to only get on the Wan Show then you really need to go outside and get laid.

Intel can make a lower-energy APU with as much compute and graphics power or more as the PS4 chip. Broadwell is swiftly proving Intel can kick ARM's tail at its own game. Google Glass 2 is going to use a Broadwell/Skylake chip, and ARM's chips have become steadily more CISC and increased in wattage and TDP because of it.

The only companies in the world who can actually design on Intel's level are Samsung and IBM. Intel has pushed into new waters for itself the last few years, and it's all coming to a head.

Every time people bet against Intel when it comes to breaking into a market, Intel always does. IBM, Broadcomm, and HP said Intel would never take their server business. Look at how that ended. ARM said it was impossible for Intel to make a powerful dual-core with less than 10 watts of TDP and power usage. Look at how Core M is doing despite Lenovo making asses of themselves...

Saying Intel can't compete in graphics and APUs is foolhardy. If Intel so chooses to design a product for a purpose, it will succeed in time.

The first two comments came within seconds. They just read the title. What the big deal on having your username appear on the wan show? Does linus or his team do anything? Will they put my  name all around the screen and spin it around the screen? I think not lol

I didnt say they cant. I said AMD is the only one right now that has the power too. If intel can then why havent we seen a APU that can compete with AMD APUs? At this moment only Intel can provide high powered CPU but not APUs.

[SpaceCore]

well.. they have my curiosity.

 

it'll take a lot more to get my attention.
