It is mating season for the singing moles of Redmond, fresh off their migration back from Mountain View, and they are singing about the XBox Next chip. What’s more, they have a name and a date.
The moles are cooing the name softly while they think up new ways to transition Microsoft’s business model from monopoly abuse to patent trolling. The name they are singing in their tunnels sounds like “Obed”, but the spelling might be a bit off due to echoing in the tunnels.
Obed it seems is SoC, CPU + GPU, and of course eDRAM, it sounds an awful lot like an evolutionary version of the current XBox 360 chip. Some say it is an x86/Bulldozer part, but everything we have been hearing for a long time says that the chip is going to be a PPC variant. In any case, the GPU is definitely made by AMD/ATI, and IBM has a big hand in the SoC design.
The moles all say that production is set for late 2012, possibly the early days of 2013. basically once the moles get settled in to Mountain View for the winter. They will give the thumps up or down on silicon based on parts they get back in Q1 of 2012. If all goes well that is. That puts production of the XBox Next in the late spring or early summer of 2013, just in time for singing mole mating season. Nothing gets a sow’s attention like a new SoC.S|A 作者: bruto 时间: 2011-8-17 09:57

LS太恶毒了吧······
NV去开发提瓜忽悠钱,AMD去代工GPU赚钱
堪称劳动人民的典范啊,感情上我有点偏向AMD了作者: CCTV5 时间: 2011-8-17 10:51
AMD就是帮忙设计一下作者: oncityce 时间: 2011-8-17 10:51
被6950毒了下,第一次用ATI显卡,散热不错,感觉驱动和NV还是有点差距,特别放3D电影。。
但是AMD显卡在通用计算方面的确比较好,估计在游戏主机上不会存在驱动问题吧,而且主机对显卡要求不高,估计50瓦以内的显卡就够了作者: 结果 时间: 2011-8-17 11:16
就看索尼的喽。找谁呢?这次机能尤为重要。因为游戏机每次机能提升都是飞跃,幅度是PC远远不能企及的,因此此次主机将会动摇PC游戏画面优势地位,而其绝对水准可让PC玩家动心。
如果要在机能上占优势索尼会争取晚发主机,而用PS3后期完全发挥的机能拖住微软,甚至将CPU和GPU的研发全部交给AMD以换取AMD的通力协作。或者依然押宝NV希望NV能打赢这一仗。 作者: logoft 时间: 2011-8-17 11:25
