If there was a whitehole would you be blinded if you looked into it?

Yeah their engineers do suck. Especially the ones working on Surface Pro and Surface Book. That stupid hinge and battery set up. And the additional GPU power in the keyboard. What idiot came up with that. Next thing you know they'll let you trade in keyboards for one with a better GPU. They'll look even dumber than. And if Surface phone is really liquid cooled. Morons! Why would anybody even hire those people.

Actually Lennox you're wrong. UWP allows them to make one version that scales for all platforms. If it's a Windows 10 device it only needs minor adjustments. That is the whole purpose of One Core. Windows has the same kernel for all versions. Look up the phrase code once across all platforms. Microsoft has been demonstrating this since BUILD 2014. They actually have programs to make the same code work on IOS and Android. But they cancelled the Android program. That's why games for...

Hey, King. Can you break down how Microsoft is losing money on hardware? I'm betting your answer is going to be Sony ftw, but I'll enjoy the laugh your logic brings. Thanks. Seriously.

On pay TV. Most of the world is grown up enough to show nudity on regular television including commercials. Things we would never show are completely normal in other cultures.

If you look at the U.K. teen show SKINS and then see the US version it's not remotely the same. Or look up the New Zealand Nintendo commercial for some Rocker game. Would never come close to airing in America.

He may not have to stop working but might have to move on to work with a far lower young female demo. It's unfortunate it works that way, but he was hiding it for a reason. Hopefully he was paid well enough to have time to get into something new.

Watch that video or one of your choice. Again, if Scorpio is using Vega, 4K/60 Ultra will not be a problem with dx12 or vulkan. We're finally getting to see what AMD design can do with programming made for it. If they can do that with a reference $200 card imagine a high end Vega. And Vega will still mo...

Actually rx480 is 4K/60 with Vulkan on Doom. If Scorpio is using Vega and the developer uses Vulkan or dx12 they should hit it pretty easy. Vega will be even better than Polaris and Fury X is doing it also.

4K TVs are affordable. They are available for under $600 all the time.

Ocelot that was under the old AMD design. Zen is a new architecture that is far better than previous one. It's expected to be 40% better and on par with Intel chips. So, no. I'm not basing it on core count but on all of the reports so far on the test chips. Some rumors are saying it's even better than the 40% AMD has said. AMD said 2x performance increase on their GPUs with Polaris and that turned out to be 2.8x per watt. If they do better than 40% they could be neck and neck with...

I doubt it will be $499. If Sony can do $399 for 4 teraflops this year 6 will be easy next year. I believe Microsoft will take a loss early if it does have Zen but will have 10nm coming in 2018 to make each unit profitable.

If Scorpio was using Polaris and Jaguar they could launch this year. The experts believe it won't use either according to what Microsoft has said.

i7 would be needed if Scorpio does include Zen. Zen is eight dual thread cores. If Scorpio does include a full Zen chip it wins on CPU against that i7.

Rainslacker something even financial analyst seem to not get, at least the amateurs with a website, is that Microsoft hides a lot of other losses in the Xbox numbers. They always have.

I had a back and forth with a ZDNET reporter years ago about an article he had written about Xbox losses. I had read a few other financial articles and found a few things in Microsoft's financials that seemed odd. The main one was a $400 million Office for Mac advertising budget thrown in...

Moldy here's where you're wrong. Xbox One sales might be fine, the issue is fanboys have convinced themselves the 360 always lost money. It didn't. The 360 was making a profit on every unit sold going back to some time in 2007. At this point the console cost around a hundred to make but was selling for much more.

Now with the One S console sales will hit the mainstream and it will help cover the lost 360 sales. Live has always made money and been profitable. Whe...

Doesn't being the 238th person to write the exact same idea make you irrelevant? Hint: The answer begins with a y.

After seeing the gains in Doom on the Fury you can expect similar gains from Polaris. That $200 card will be a better deal in the long run as more games go with asynchronous compute. Games will get more out of the 480 like a console gets better.

I believe they are adding things that will make it scale to Scorpio. With the power of Scorpio they could probably add similar destruction offline since 1 person can only do so much damage. Since the game is already designed to look for more power from servers and scale adding that to the single player should be pretty easy.
