"The future will bring many more common tasks that are currently relegated to higher-end servers and mainframes to individual PCs, including dramatically improved abilities to extract data from large databases, improved business intelligence calculations, enhanced security capabilities and improved visualization of all forms of data.
We expect the biggest loser in this market change to be Nvidia. While it makes excellent graphics subsystems now, the lack of a fully compatible i86 CPU core to integrate its graphics with will put it in a difficult situation, and it will be forced out of all but the highest-end graphics subsystems. We expect this discrete graphics market to represent 5% to 10% of the market. Intel and AMD will dominate the remainder with their integrated platforms, although we expect Intel to take the majority (75% to 85%) of this market."
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."
Recently Nvidia announced they were working on their own x86 platform, which renders a part of this argument obsolete already.
The confidence in Larabee is also overblown.
However, ATI, Intel and Nvidia should all try to bring up a working unified architecture and sell it to console makers.
A unified CPU/GPU would allow next gen of console to start strong with a single, insanely potent, processor.
Sweet, now I can look at porn faster than ever before.
yeahhhhhhhhh
I hate it when people say that. Today's personal computers are as powerful as super computers were. Tomorrows personal computer may become as powerful as supercomputers are now, but at that point super computers will far exceed home PCs.
And what's all that power good for ? I mean besides gaming...
