This has been confirmed a long time ago. I tried to make comments about this and that is what an APU does. That is what it supports is hUMA.
All of AMD's APU's use hUMA. So why would Xbox One or PS4's APU's be any different.
"The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit, formerly known as Fusion, is a mic...
Sigh this whole hUMA argument is old. If you look on AMD's APU wiki. It will state that both the PS4 and Xbox One use hUMA because that is what an APU does in the first place is use hUMA.. AMD's that is.
So seeing as they are both using AMD's APU's. That means they use hUMA no matter how each company goes about it.

The internal flash is used to store the new Xbox One's massive OS and firmware updates, also to alleviate space on the non removable HDD. Nothing more, if you are hoping it can free up RAM usage that the OS will need. Well we aren't there yet.
That is just impossible to use flash memory to run the entire OS. PC's can't even currently do that.
So to answer your question that is what they are using it for to store the OS,...
Not trying to rain on your parade but it isn't anything new. I talked about this a couple days ago. Especially if anyone has been reading up on AMD's APU's lately.
Both the PS4 and Xbox APU's are based off of the same high performance technology used in the Kaveri APU planned to be released in early 2014.
The only difference is they are still based off of Jaguar cores and the Kaveri is steamroller cores but its still very new tech none the...
I haven't been this excited for FPS in years. After playing so much of Killzone: Mercenary, I just knew that Shadow Fall would be short of anything disappointing.
The games are bringing back the FPS gamer that died inside me a while ago. I am usually not a launch person but I just might have to consider it this time around.
Gonna be tough all my families birthdays of course have to be at the end of the year then we have christmas.. Luckily my birthday is ...
That part made me laugh pretty hard.
Oh my bad then. I thought he was, well most of what I said still applies as far as the game goes. It won't just stop cause phil left.
Do you know anything in regards to FEZ 2? Can the rest of the team just finish that without him?
Not going against what you said here but HDD's barely produce any heat as it is let alone consume that much power to ever be a concern with either.
They never really have. Maybe like way way back in the days when the first hard drives were made they did. Drives now though are very efficient.
He still is. This deal was setup a long time ago with FEZ on Vita, long before all this drama happened and he threw in the towel. Just because he quit doesn't mean he doesn't have to fill any previously made obligations.
So knowing that, it is still probably contracted to be continued. Regardless of what he does after the deal was made.
Exactly with everyone having a phone that practically tethers now. It is just not necessary to increase the price of the Vita just to put a 4G chip inside it.
Along with having to pay for an additional 4G plan for the thing.
Ugh don't get me started on cell phone carriers these days.. Surprised people put up with the absurdity in random charges that have no explanation and the ridiculously costly plans.
I mean they literally charge you th...
Well the Xbox One is all about the switching between stuff and multitasking. So I am pretty sure the PS4 isn't going to necessarily be doing all that.
Which isn't bad just depends on what your needs are. I personally won't use any of that either on the Xbox One myself. All I care about is games mainly and as you said I can't see myself doing all this other stuff while playing a game.
Nothing that has been demonstrated really focuses on that wi...
@MarkusMcNugen
I know that. I made it clear on the 2nd page here when I posed all this if you happened to read my other comments on this matter. I was using the full blown Windows 8 as an example, just an example.
I know it won't be that big exactly.
Given it is 8GB flash though one can assume a good chunk of it will probably be used for the OS and I can assume the rest will be for firmware updates.
I was making the point...
My question is why would you need to watch a show/movie while playing game. I am all for multitasking but that seems a bit much.
Anyway. Not sure if you can through the Netflix app like you said but I know you can switch between the browser. So if you can open Netflix in that, then you could watch whatever while playing a game.
To answer peoples question concerning mandatory installs of all disc based games. Shuhei talked about this a long time ago. The answer is no, you don't have to. He specifically said that you can choose to have the disc install on the HDD or not if you just don't want to or need hard drive space.
Wouldn't make much sense if they forced you to install every game you own on a disc. Would just take up unnecessary amount of space.
... I just thought of this because I had to come back because of Mario18..
I am not smart enough to figure out who your other account is? What? How does the even make sense, what am I going to do? Call a private investigator to hunt you down? Lol.. I really don't care that much haha.
You are behind a screen. Of course I am not going to know how many accounts you could have or anyone else besides you and the people who can track you on this site like t...
I am getting this but I will say I would much rather play it on my Vita. As said it has nothing to do with graphics, I wouldn't care if it looked the same as it does on the 3DS. I just really don't like having to use the circle pad pro for games like these or like I pointed out, games that support the circle pad pro.
I know it would just be a much smoother experience on the Vita. Play wise.
I hate the idea of even having to buy a second analog stick s...
I don't agree with either of you. Money hating exclusives isn't cool and not buying a game you like just because its on a certain system isn't cool.
I could understand if maybe that is the only game you want and you just can't justify buying a system for one game. If there are more games that you do like for it then why not try it out.
Can always return something if you end up not like it. The return policy should be long enough for you to...
Actually I could not care any less if the game looked exactly the same as the 3DS version on the PS Vita. It would just be better to play on the PS Vita.
I hate having to use the circle pad pro. Not like every 3DS game I would like to use it with even supports the thing anyway. Which is even worse that only so many games work with it.
Even more amusing you call me out for being scared to comment back and explain what I meant. Then I see you making comments right now in other places while just ignoring the fact I did respond to you.
You two are sure showing me!
Lol I love how many are disagreeing with pure facts. Flash memory cannot be used to run the OS but only to store it.
Why do you think the Xbox One's HDD and internal flash memory are using in conjunction with each other. Simple.
Jesus I am not shitting on the thing.
I am just explaining what the internal flash is used for. What else would be used for then? Since you can't use flash memory like RAM.
Please correct me t...
