New Game Console Inbound? AMD teases. Guess who the maker?

PC wise, nothing AMD does excites me. The tech in the PS4 and Xbox One did nothing for me either.

@Jebus213: That's not really fair. Some of us are grown ass adults with experience so its not always so unusual for some of us to understand a little bit about this kind of stuff.

To be really fair, there are a whole lot of people on System Wars who toss around terms like "architecture" and acronyms like APU who have absolutely zero clue what they're talking about and have no programming or engineering background whatsoever. All they do is read these articles and then regurgitate things to sound like they know what they're talking about, for the most part

this is a video game forum. Relax

YAY ! More Console Exclusivity bullshit !

To all you manticores out there, how many HDMI ports do you have left available on your TV ?

pls no overpriced apple crap.

You can't make up a statistic and call it an opinion.

they can transform anything into a APU, they got a 7870 and welded 2 tablet CPUs to make PS4's APU, they could make the same with a R9-295x2 + 2 FX-9590 if they wanted

I going to go with Apple or Google???Maybe I'm wrong!

It will be valve. They have found a way to make cheap PC's really expensive. Win-Win.

Amazon or maybe its just the refreshs of the current Xboxone/ps4

Intel's PC IGP market share is still larger. NVIDIA can't compete against AMD's 2-for-1 deal.

Dreamcast 2 incoming

Yes! :P

Even failed systems have an exponentially larger library than PS4..........

I doubt it'll happen but Sony and MS's weak hardware left the door WIDE open for a Samsung, Apple, or whomever to enter the console market with an appropriate next-gen system.

But anyway, it says in the article that the product is likely not a console.

"could be talking about some kind of a media centre with gaming capabilities"

well, if I had to guess it could be any set top box device, or maybe for cable boxes, I heard telecoms want to have capability to play games and I think there was talk a while back of EA striking a deal with one of the telecoms (maybe Comcast) so people can buy/rent games on their cable boxes

I'm thinking it's Nintendo.

half life 3 comfirmed

Probably Nintendo. Probably shooting for a Q4 2017 launch.

even if it would use high-end hardware, they need devs. wake me up when it gets games.

Nintendo. I really doubt any other company will try to get into the console market now. But Nintendo will have to release a new console within the next couple of years.

This could be for a future console from any of the three (Nintendo most likely). If it is from an outside party I think Amazon is the most likely.

It wouldn't make any difference if Sony or MS selects NVIDIA Geforce 650 Ti with 8 core ARM A9/A15 type CPU. NVIDIA lost on contract price for this gen console hardware.

NVIDIA's K1 was late when compared to AMD's Temash**

.**Scaled to 8 core Jaguar and 14 to 20 CU GCN.

Nintendo already did, just for emerging markets only.

I wish.....
