Classic Microsoft FUD! Good job. Not as good as "Tomb Raider Xbox One Exclusive!" though

Amazing

 

[blastprocessor]

So the gap is getting closer aye? Might need to get an xbox after all

900p, 36 FPS! WOOOO!!!!

 

[HORRORSHØW]

holy shit lol. it's like an animated chalkboard.

Your official, MS statement, is missing commas...

niiice

Except for Miles Quaritch. He bleeds green. Just look at his avatar color.

Hell yeah I do.

I'm all about that green...

 

[injurai]

So Fable was that badly optimized huh.

Uhm, how would this be FUD?

FUD is spreading doubts about your competitors product, not your own

Nothing exciting
only 20% boost clearly shuts us down.
Again.
wait for Insider comments to wtf Phil said that

Well, if its only 20% bust and most 1st party games also heading to PC along with Xbox live then who will buy Xbox One?
There should be a carrot.

Parasite said - resolution gate will be over on March 3. 900p + 20% = 1080p Phil's accurate trolling
Parasite said hardware talk will start with Build
for sure we will get more info from Insiders on this 20% and why not now.

Ehhh it really wasn't though just a shitty website doing what they do.

 

[FATALITY]

i cant lol

 

[Beefy]

Money hat confirmed.

 

[RyudBoy]

Yup, I've made a legendary thread. Nice job lolol

 

[Chobel]

I think the problem is not the amount. It's how the developer use it.

And in general, the Xbox One processor has a total ok 47 MB of ESRAM.

Wat?

[Stanng243]

Bravo.

Whoa

 

[Paxem]

Oh damn.

10% Kinect boost, December SKU, CPU upgrade and now a 20% GPU boost?

X1 is nearing unstoppable status.

I don't think they would have anything else now to push the XOne with it except few sku here and there but nothing major after DX12

 

[megatronium]

 

[Shin-Ra]

Wat?

Network the eSRAM's together for maximum bufferloage.

 

[Angelus Errare]

LMAO this thread has been awesome with the emotions.

 

[Angel_DvA]

It was for the PC version ? MrX be like :

 

[Quadraphonic]

To be fair, for the first half-dozen pages, I'm just assuming everyone was in total troll mode.

I don't think anyone thought a 20% boost was going to be a market changer. (Especially when MisterXMedia was claiming a 200% boost)

 

[pastrami]

Wat?

I think that's the count for all the cache on the die added together. So technically there is 47mb of esram, but not in the way that he thinks.

 

[King Gilga]

Well the xbone is just a PC no? So it'll get some benefit but the 20% is just for fable legends?

I don't know shit about Ron Paul but this picture breaks my heart every time I see it.

 

[Crayon]

Jesus the title change.

Jesus came back and he's the title of this thread now.

It was a joke post. See, it's pretty impressive propaganda if you think about it. Brand A comes out and declares a subtle improvement to their product. Opposition to Brand A comes out and pretends to post hyperbole masked as support for Brand A in order to subvert any legitimate and measured gains made by the official announcement or information meant to improve product. Opposition to Brand A can now turn around and say they were just joking in order to deflect criticism to their passive-aggressive propagandizing when confronted about their subtle but subversive critiquing.

Unless you're joking too, which then makes this all just a big-ass "jokeception".

If someone at MS read this thread they know their console was released way too weak for this gen. Next console MS makes will be powerful and I expect it out in 4 more years. It says a lot when people are going bonkers for a supposed 20% improvement in graphical capabilities.

To be fair, a 20% improvement would be a pretty impressive achievement if true.

 

[ethomaz]

The changed title makes it go from awesome to ok.

 

[Kuro]

I'm just wondering if people really thought that software would magically make the hardware difference of the PS4 disappear

 

[Rymuth]

haha oh wow!

love reading salt

Haha.

I'd love to see the look on your face now

Don't count on it. If this actually came true, I'd guarantee you'd see some goal-post moving. Honestly, I don't think MS is coming out with another Xbox. If they did, it'd probably be radically different than what we see as consoles today. If it's a more traditional endeavor, then the only unlikely scenario I see of an uncompromising Xbox being released would be if Phil Spencer and MS no longer go by the rules of business but instead be motivated by spite.

 

[e-gamer]

Wat?

 

[Steel]

How can you even tell? Doesn't take much to max out Fable.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

The 20% performance improvement is because of increased efficiency right?

 

[Jomjom]

No.

I'm going to pretend against my better judgement that this isn't a troll post.

All they're saying is that the new API is more efficient such that (probably in ideal situations) it's 20% faster at rendering the same frames as the old API.

It's literally impossible for the Xbone to be as fast as the PS4. The PS4's hardware is simply more powerful.

It's also likely that Sony make around a similar level of API improvements over the same amount of time. They just don't have a new API to sell so they're not on stage talking about it.

I'm not at all an expert on these things. I see people saying 20 percent more efficient vs 20 percent more "powerful". What's the distinction?

Also i don't remember Sony really ever doing that kind of stuff with the PS3 last gen. If they did they never really said anything about it. So I think it's entirely possible that they don't really do any kind of major API improvement for the PS4 on the scale of what MS is doing with DX12.

 

[Crayon]

They did. And thats why we love this thread.

 

[cirrhosis]

Haha.

It's the same as it was when I posted this

this thread is definitely memorable

 

[Chobel]

That's talking about all the memory in the APU: 47MB = CPU cache + GPU cache + eSRAM + some other minor stuff.

eSRAM is 32MB.

 

[qa_engineer]

That is including l1 and l2 cache esram is still 32mb
http://www.extremetech.com/gaming/1...ered-reveals-sram-as-the-reason-for-small-gpu

 

[Muppet of a Man]

It's not all in the GPU's ESRAM pool though; the other 15 MB is spread out elsewhere on the die.
