Of course they'll keep with the other platforms.
Intel ran LGA775 and LGA771 platforms till 2008
then they ran LGA1156 and LGA1366 platforms till 2012
LGA1155 and LGA2011 are both still supported
However Intel currently flagship platforms are LGA1150 and LGA2011
Getting a Sandybrige-E or Ivybridge-E would be pretty foolish, it's marketed to extreme enthusiasts and I mean extreme.
I would recommend Ivybridge or...
I love how people are comparing Battlefield 4 to Killzone Shadow Fall
Remember how people were comparing Crysis to Haze.
Bottom line is BF4 will have huge 64 player maps with destructible environment and vehicles, where as KZSF will have small Call of Duty maps probably 32 player max without destructible environment and only jump packs!!!
Looks like my PC will be playing it near maxed out on 29th of October :)
I'm sorry but did you just say that.
GFLOPs is a computational calculation, doesn't mean its got higher performance.
AMD FX 8350 Piledriver was their flagship CPU it has about double the performance of the AMD Jaguar found in PS4 and XB1.
Pretty much every Intel Core i5 since 2010 is better than AMD FX 8350, so how will a laptop/ low end desktop CPU compete with that?
Yeah the PS4 and XB1 versions will not be playing it maxed out, not a chance.
My PC Spec:
Intel Core i5 2500K @ 4GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 670 @ 1.1/6GHz
16GB Corsair Vengeance LP 1.6GHz
60GB OCZ Agility 3 SSD (Windows)
240GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD (Steam)
2TB Western Digital Green HDD (Steam)
1TB Western Digital Green HDD (Everything else)
I can max out BF3 at 1080p with 4xAA at 60Fps
Oh a...
I'm going to be getting it on PS3, but instantly getting PC version because it going to be superior in every way.

Why would Nvidia be butt hurt, they make lots of money releasing the latest and greatest technology, AMD themselves have said the console deals will only bring in about 1/5 of their annual profits.
AMD needed the deal...
I don't think anyone could argue against PS+ free games, however other platform have the other stuff.
Steam Play I can play across Windows, Linux and Mac and get unlimited activations, standard with Steam.
Steam Cloud gives you 100MB per game that support the feature and 2GB of screenshot storage. Additionally I can back them up using other cloud services.
Automatic updates, Steam updates all content as soon as it becomes available.
:/
It's cool I guess but a bit crap with the adverts, looks completely out of place.
This device has about 4 times the performance of any hand-held console, will play all if not the vast majority of Android games.
Additionally it will have full access to my Steam library of 395 Games playing at maximum settings streaming from my High-End PC that I built myself.
I got an Idea!
Get a gaming laptop, it'll probably cost what the Macbook cost plus the bomb next to it :D
Edit: Oh and I forgot, it wouldn't be Apple as well :)
It doesn't quite work like that
2. Loading Times
If the game is being read of a Blu-ray and Hard Drive then the loading times will be long, okay the BR Drive is 3 times faster but its still slow, conventional HDD performance has remained unchanged since PS3 launch and 2.5" drives are slower than 3.5" counterparts
Remember MGS4, that wasn't a ram issue. A SSD and installing the full game to that SSD will solve that.
Skyrim on ...
Games that are coming to/ already on PC:
* Titan Fall (coming to PS4 timed console exclusive on Xbox One
* Project Spark
* Plants Vs Zombies: Garden Warfare
* Minecraft
Games most likely coming to PC:
* Ryse
Games most likely coming to PC and PS4:
* Dead Rising 3
Or been on PC for the last half decade
PC gamers would not stand for this so why do Console gamers
Steam would literally bomb over night if they said something about changing.
But is it a Titan?
Can't see why you say that Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 pretty much runs every game ever made at max settings.
If people actually do their research and look at review websites Nvidia hold the crown over AMD in performance.
So AMD may have got a promotional deal with Dice but Battlefield 3 runs much better on Intel and Nvidia solutions. Battlefield 4 has the same system requirements as BF3.
Show me, where is a link from AMD themselves saying this?
Like I said, it doesn't matter what the PS4 got, PC is beyond it a year before release and that's the truth.
I can send you many links that will show you that AMD's "flagship" CPU FX 8350 gets humiliated by Intel Core i5s and i7 so how will a laptop / mainstream CPU compete, it will not.
PC GPUs can go beyond 1920 by 1080 since 2007, anti-aliasing is a given, 4096...
Sure the PS4 is a good piece of tech but to say that what is being done has never been done before is foolish.
They're using an AMD APU solution, AMD have been making them for years now and It basically a PC/Laptop processor that features CPU/GPU/Northbridge
The CPU Jaguar Cores are about 10% quicker than Bobcat however its about 50% slower than Piledriver, furthermore Piledriver is slower than Sandy, Ivybridge and Haswell.
On the GPU sid...
WOW did I really just read this?
The PC I built my friend in 2011 already outshines PS4/XB1 in terms of hardware.
You can already see a considerable difference Battlefield 4!
This person already says "7850 is a high mid-end graphics card" in the article, I could list about 30 GPUs more powerful right now.
