AMD's two triple-core Phenom processors, the X3 8400 (2.1GHz) and 8600 (2.4GHz) are aimed squarely at the gaming and digital media markets and support DirectX 10. The chips are based on a 65nm architecture, and contain 450 million transistors.
According to analyst Gartner, AMD's shipped 550,000 units in 2007, compared to Intel's 1.76 million. AMD's hold on mobile processors is even smaller -- less than a tenth of Intel's -- shipping 160,000 units next to Intel's 1.77 million last year.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Hmmm. Not only do programmers now have to scale their games to work on single core, dual core and quad core CPUs, they now have the triple core CPU as well in the PC gaming world. I can see there being practicallity for this in other applications, but gaming, come on reall now. Why can't they just have more standards out there. Too many variations just means that much more stuff that won't get used. Though in PC's that extra core can do other things while your gaming, like ripping a DVD or something.
Might as well get a quad these days. The cheapeast quad on intel side outdoes the phenom's.
AMD, spend more money on your GPUs. Lord knows if ATI can put something out to run Crysis on AA at Very High, we would all be pleased. And I'm sure your fiscal bottom line would be nice too.
