AMD has announced a headset which is an AIO  VR/AR Headset called the Sulon HND Which is powered by  AMD

 

What make this headset different 

 

This is Teather Free and an AIO headset

 

The Specs Are

 

AMD fx8800P CPU

 

AN R7 Series GPU

 

8GB RAM

 

and a 1440P Oled Display

 

What i found cool about this headset to others is that it actually come with an inbuilt PC so this could help out all of the people who have PC'S which arnt powerful enough to run games using headsets such as the oculus rift.

 

Also in the video they mention that they are the first ones to have this feature in their headset.

 

This in my eyes has the potential to beat other products such as the oculus rift which you have to have a very good pc to run even my own pc only pases as capable.

 

One thing about this product which has put a question to my mind is this would be a very heavy headset since in the end it does have a full computer in it.

 

THIS IS A GREAT VIDEO FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE INFO...

Damn this looks interesting! I'm skeptical as to how well it will perform without connecting to anything but i'm sure AMD somewhat knows what they are doing xD

#1 you might want to fix that typo that says 880p to 8800p.

#2 r7 GPU with a 2k screen? That seems pretty weak for that high res... You would only be able to watch videos on that lol any game except stuff like TF2 and CSGO would run like a potato on that.

They didn't specify what GPU exactly though, which makes me curious if it is a Polaris unit.... because if it is, they could cram that thing they demoed against the 950 in there and a 950 could theoretically do some intensive VR.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I would belive that it would be a polaris card and also in there r9 Nano and r9 Fury X they used HBM which really preformed well

i hope this uses Dual Channel memory for the FX8800p (Carrizo APU)

amd has dabbled in ram so they know what they're doing, not to mention making the apu

They also made that really small pc last year and were able to water cool it! SO maybe some of that small tech is making it into the headset!

I'm pretty sure in GPU's AMD has been the first to a new processing node every time.

       • Pixelbook Go i5 • Pixel 4 XL •

no, they do not.

 

AMD is in the pockets of every OEM atm... and in order to save OEMs money, yes, TO SAVE MONEY FOR THE OEMs LIKE DELL, TOSHIBA, LENOVO ETC... they were coaxed/forced into making a single mobile socket for their low low low end shit, and Carrizo.

 

However their low low low end shit can only run single channel memory. So the OEMs keep making Carrizo laptops with only single channel memory motherboards.

 

It would not shock me if the mobo inside this thing is single channel to shave costs and increase profits. Since this isnt AMDs own product, i promise you, corners will be cut.

64 bit CPU

64 bit instruction set

Dual core

Consumer 8 core (questionable)

First to release a GPU with reference watercooling

First to release a GPU with GDDR4, GDDR5, HBM (they partly invented HBM together with SK Hynix)

OP please fix some typos.

 

1. CPU or APU is FX8800p.

2. The screen is 1440p not 1080p. 2K is 1080p, 2.5K is 1440p.

 

Thanks.

fair enough, i said what i said as they have released ram and a piece of software for ram
