Well since I admittedly gave you a hard time about saying things with out any evidence I will admit that this is just a theory. But that said mine is based on EA's actual history. Not to mention their defiance in the face of several European governments stating they wouldn't stop using loot boxes and micro-transactions even after they passed laws banning them.
I'd say history is on my side when it comes to EA and these practices.
Don't over simplify things. Microsoft has had a negative influence on gaming.
If it wasn't for Microsoft it's likely that online would still be free. And it was Microsoft who opened the door for DLC. And if Microsoft had won this generation with their original console idea we would have an all digital console that won't even let you trade your games much less sell them at resale.
Guys having two treads does not increase the calculations of a CPU.
I own a R7 and I do video editing, and I can assure you having 16 threads does not significantly lower render time over just using the basic 8 cores. 8 cores and 16 threads is not IN ANY WAY the same as having 16 cores.
Microsoft isn't going to cut checks that big. PlayStation has 70% market share over xbox and is selling 2-3 times as many games on every multiplatform. For them to buy an exclusive they would basically need to pay for the sales lost by not having the game on PS4.
You only have to look at the latest Tomb Raider which has dropped even simple timed exclusivity after the game sold better on PS4 a year later than it did on xbox.
Zen CPU's are all exactly the same architecture (gen 2 has some improvements over gen 1). The only difference is how many cores/threads are enabled per cluster.
All Zen chips have 2 clusters, 3 is 4 cores 2 per cluster 5 is 6c/12t 3c per cluster 7 is 8c/16t 4c per cluster
U/G have dedicated graphics U is optimized for power efficiency.
It's unlikely they will use the laptop variant it's not cheaper per core and since the d...
I'm not trying to be rude, but Ryzen 7 has 8 cores and 16 threads. A thread is not the same as a core.
A core with two threads can run two tasks in parallel at essentially 50% each.
The real benefit is that if you have a task that uses less than full power you can efficiently use the second thread to do something else thus optimizing the total workload.
