My favourite claim [albeit from AMD] about the Xbox One:
AMD: Next Xbox capable of Avatar visuals
Technology company AMD reckons the next Xbox will be so powerful it will be capable of reproducing graphics on a par wi…www.eurogamer.net
This one aged like fine milk in a warm climate.
Don't want too much power or performance. That's why you must balance the two!
This was Microsoft's claim on their own site.
So what you are saying is that all this will happen and they will go with intel+nvidia.. thanks for your official confirmation .. we all will hold to your words very fondly
Bet we hear even more about it leading up to the PS5 Pro launch
"Sora" was announced today. Is an AI creation. All these videos....
Guys, I don't know if you are aware of Open AI "Sora", we invite you to take a look for those who do not know the (disturbing) product resulting from AI.
I bring it up here because I wonder if part of that Sarah Bond manifestation of "unseen generational leap" may be based on AI advances in graphics and computing.
I don't know, but that by writing a sentence or phrase you can have a video that is impossible to distinguish from reality... I wonder how something like this will be transferred to game development and video game technology (apart, predictably, from job losses)
As reference:
I don't expect next gen to offer massive leaps forward in more accurately tracing lights and their interactions with the game environment. Only ML acceleration will make the most difference. The leap in rendering with path tracing will be noticeable, but not gargantuan. It'll be there though.

My head is blown from openAI Sora
Why even bother with polygons, texture pipelines and path tracing? At the pace AI is advancing, by 2025 they'll be rendering a full game with whatever parameters you gave it. It's fucking exponential progress. All these are 3D with physics, again not physics in the sense of video games but the AI knows how it should be reacting.
When the handheld docks with the console it becomes a 4090, you heard it here first
You really think you pay for the hardware for EITHER case?
Assuming you don’t know what Xbox All Access is?
Some people still don’t understand that gamepass doesn’t mean free games, you pay subscription fee, with 34M subscribers let’s make an average of 10USD a month, this gives MS 340M/month (just over 4B USD a year just from subscribers), then if the game is good these subscribers might buy it (people tend to forget that you can still buy games that are on the gamepass), buy DLC for that game etc. In addition, not all games release on gamepass and MS getting cut of these sales. Then there is “early access” for games that land day 1 on gamepass (I myself bought deluxe/premium editions of forza horizon, starfield, forza motorsport etc.). Then there is whole GaaS approach.
This is peak something or other. So weird.

You might be about to find out that you've been living in a simulation all along: cats don't have hands.
Judging by how much the series x cost 999 doesn't seem expensive enough to move into a premium market. I imagine 999 would be where they would've liked to be for a device that cost them 700 to actual produce.
Where are you getting power from. She said technical leap. Could be as simple as adding bespoke tech for ai.Sarah said largest leap ever in terms of perf.
Xbone to Series X, in sheer FP32 numbers is 9.2X, despite being different architectures and RDNA2 has a massive gains over Polaris/GCN.
Just to get the message across to the layman, it's at least 9.2X or more, let's round it off at 10X.
120 TFLOPS ZEN5 + RDNA5, with architectural gains and efficiency, and this sounds like a pipe dream on an alien planet if the target for this console is $500.HeisenbergFX4 please tell me my math is wrong and I can go back to sleep.
What a consumer is willing to pay.
Just prior to Game Pass launching, Microsoft was used to receiving at least $3B a year from xbox live gold subs totalling almost 50M - for just simple online access and a few old games to add to a collection each month. The costs of servicing those subs for that return was miniscule to what GP/U demands; the mechanics and logistics of handling the greater MAU spending more time downloading and playing, the costs of feeding the service with new titles vs. the vacuum left by near non-existent sales, the pressure 3rd parties now endure attempting to sell in an environment where a customer base now no longer sees games as having the same value they once did when they're gorging on at all-you-can-eat buffet, etc.
The only way people used to get games was buying them 6 years ago. That added up to quite a lot of cash when every single one was a purchase. The whole "GP actually promotes sales has been debunked. that effect was only in the early years before sub totals reached their natural limit they're been hovering round the past couple of years. Nintendo is still doing rather well with this "outdated" model where you make a thing then sell it, Sony too. It's not going away - Microsoft even want in on it more with their own games as we're seeing.
And Jim Ryan was fired.it’s baffling to me that Phil Spencer has managed to lead two utter failures of generations in a row now (this one he’s entirely responsible for) yet is being given yet another chancedo they really think third time’s going to be the charm under this existing leadership group?
