Microsoft introduces Xbox Body Wash, urges lemmings to shower
lynux3 replied to Casual's topic in System Wars
This is confirmation that Xbox is going the way of the Lynx. -
Based on Todd Howard's comments it seems likely that both boxes are going to be pretty close in terms of power. The only difference being that Microsoft is going to the retard route by splitting their user base with two machines.

Looking like $499 to me. 7nm isn't cheap and neither is the RAM (especially if they actually do use HBM2). Don't expect Microsoft to disclose pricing.
-
I think Sony is going the same route as well outside the possible implementation of their custom SSD I/O shit that was laid out in those patents. Some speculate that Sony investigated storage I/O so heavily so they didn't have to put so much RAM in the box to keep costs down, but I don't know, seems a bit of a stretch. To be more clear about why it's surprising is because close-to-production silicon of the PS4 didn't hit dev studios until launch year.

Considering we know close to nothing about the next generation Xbox it seems pretty surprising to me. Seems pretty early to already be looking at production samples. I was expecting maybe Q4 or Q1 2020. I read it that the next generation Xbox APU is design complete and now it's just time to work out any of the wrinkles. This lends some credit to the rumor that the design possibly not being as custom as we all thought it to be.

Read it. 1.) Microsoft still not set on power figures. 2.) Production samples. This means that final silicon is closer to being finalized than most thought.

You didn't even post the most important part.

We've known for a while that Microsoft and Sony are aiming to be better than 10.7 TFLOPs.

IGN's readers are more interested in the next PlayStation than anything else.

I'm sure there will be another poll when more information comes out.
