My understanding is that the APU can do this, and while M$ will use this for both their console and PC hybrid, only the console gets proper Xbox BC. Keen to see how it shakes out.
My $1000 is ready.
This isn't a console though and it's DOAWait, Xbox is making a next gen console?
Fixed it for you.
The good news is you have time to save for the second half.
Just get a PC ya silly gooseMy $1000 is ready.
No.
Define 'right' in a leaker.
Is 2026 off the table now? The prospect of an early jump on PS6 was the only thing it had going for it…Wait, Xbox is making a next gen console?
So many questions remain to be answered. Usually we would just be wondering about performance/price, but with this it starts with what category it even falls in. I cant even begin assess value.
I don't think it was ever on the table, people just liked the idea. It never seemed credible to me AMD could have that platform ready a year before the PS6, when the PS6 design started early enough it probably had some influence on the Magnus product line. It makes sense that they both hit production within a quarter or two.
Wait, he admitted he called it PS6 APU in order to get clicks?
PC/Console convergence. The form factor is STILL Console.
That's not what Lisa Su said, she spoke of Console library BC (also implying FC) across the entire portfolio of devices.
Sarah Bond did say the greatest leap ever for consoles or something. Kepler said it's RTX 5080 tier.
Given the likely price difference, there will not even be an imaginary horse race to clickbait with. Sounds like the narrative is shifting to compete with gaming PCs instead. Good luck with that!
I have said before but 99% their "greatest leap ever" is going to be AI perf comparison using FP16 Vector on Series X (24 TFlops) vs Sparse Matrix FP4 on Magnus (~3000 TFlops)
Yeah the curtain got pulled back a little bit. I mean it should come as no surprise, its right in front of you with clickbait titles/stills etc on most peoples content who make a livelihood from YT. It highlights that part of evaluating a leaker is motive. But you won't make much of a living without some accuracy.
Going from 24 to 3000 is a giant freaking leap, so it makes sense. Even if that statement was regarding AI performance, there's still quite a bit of leaps in other stuff. Going from 2080 tier Series X to rtx 5080 tier Magnus in Rasterization, and whatever multiplier for Ray Tracing.
I think they may combine AI with RT, so that they can showcase a 4k native path traced game running at 1 fps on series X and better looking Faux-k on Magnus at 120 fps with multi frame gen. Voila! Greatest leap ever! 120x the performance!
PS6 wants to stay in consumer range pricing.
There is no "Console APU", consoles defined by framework and not by chip.
Yup. Literally what I've been saying for the last few months and have sometimes been called out on it....he then goes and straight up says it.
Yup, he knows what works for his audience so he says what will resonate with them. For MLiD it's Sony and AMD fans.
1000 dollar shitty ports, shader compilation and stutterfest
I seriously want to know the added costs are for shipping a 250W product compard to a 160W product.
Haha that's already fixedCompared to 750$/800€ shitty ports with stutters and low framerate + visual noise?
