I was reading about the AMD Jaguar chip to be found inside the new Sony PS4 and the XBOX when a couple of things occurred to me!
First off there was all this talk when Bulldozer released form so-called gaming experts about ho there are NO games that use more than a core or two for processing and how HARD it is to do this.
I pretty much knew the first one was not true though admittedly these were minimal in numbers. I ALSO know that the SECOND ONE was not true and the number of times I wanted to join up to a website just to go onto a clicky forum of armchair experts to explain to them in the most POLITE way that they were talking nonsense, oddly enough most of them stupid enough to own a Core i3, but thought better of it as the word TROLL will just be banded about like women at a wedding with far too much confetti!
No the reason I now realise that there are is not much parallelism in games is because of one thing and one thing only...THE EXISTENCE OF CONSOLES?!
Or in other words so PC Gamers can get an excuse when really there are being ripped off for ported games?!
FOUL! That is what I hear them crying out at the top of their lungs at my use of the words rip and off but it is and no matter which way you slice it that IS what it is. Another bunch of cash for a game yu have already created and you do not want to be bothered doing it all over again for the PC! But you want the same amount of cash coming in though?!
EDIT: John Taylor of AMD announces a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FOR GAMERS REGADRING AMD HARDWARE?!?! (Oh this just gets better and better!!)
Courtesy of Tom's Hardware: CLICK HERE!
END EDIT
Then while I was reading and trying to figure out exactly what this confusing AMD Jaguar is, my money on TWO PROCESSORS SIDE BY SIDE AND CROSSFIRE like they did with the twin socket FX boards a few years back, I realised that this is all about to be proved of course!!
Whether it is ONE Jaguar processor or TWO side by side make no nevermind. It has eight cores and THAY WILL USE THEM, or its a complete waste of money building the things based on a processor with that much silicon.
Now according to the armchair afficiandos a Core i3 would have been perfectly adequate?!
According to Custom PC your only processor is an Intel one?!
I have long since complained about this and even emailed these experts who sale a magazine based o building PCs prmarily for GAMING.
Well now I find it really bloody hilarious as I have been proved that had a bought into a subscription to Custom PC I would have wasted my money and been ripped off as...
1) Games will be PROGRAMMED from now on on BOTH CONSOLES, if not ALL THREE, for not only AMD Processor cares but for PARALLELISM and ...
2) AMD's GPUs too?!?! IN CROSSFIRE POSSIBLY?!
3) GPU Cores also used for parallelism?
Oddly enough I used to find this a bit annoying when Intel fans went on about this with their nVidia cards. Run down parallel processing when talking about AMD's FX chips but talk it up when talking about your nVidia cards?
Really funny. I think some people and even forums should be banned for being stupid or just contradciting, whichever is a better fit for the annoying ones, lol.
Now to all the AMD people, plus the ones that took the piss, cried like babies and yelled like demented Banshees and went over to Intel and paid three times as much for their processor with a board they will then have to replace a year later and nVidia Graphics when they are too focused on tablets...
...whose laughing now DUMB-ARSES?!?!
I think its bloody hilarious, really I do! So much over the top shit about AMD on websites, forums and even YouTube!! Loads of these moronic idiots how now managed to be shown up as the IDIOTS THEY ARE by none other than the very corporation they lambasted for the longest time, AMD!!
That is soo funny and i cannot help but wonder how long it will be, if indeed it has not even started, when the AMD fans will be going on-line with the Panzer-Fausts (flame throwers) and scorching the chat rooms and forums and toasting the Intel camps to the walls?!?!
I might give it a week or two for this knowledge to suddenly occur to them get posted and then goes around like wildfire?!
Well that is unless of course though are just so much the experts they are now lambasting both Sony and Microsoft for using two year old technology and know better ate doing these things than the big guns do themselves?!
Could they be that bloody stupid?
I have to admit that even I did not see this one coming, a GRAND SLAM across the board on the console games with both CPUs and GPUs for AMD?!
You think now that this might have been their plan all along?! Now a few interesting points to watch out for over the next 12 months, or 6 months into the release of the consoles...
1) You think now this MIGHT have been WHY they bought ATI in the first place?!
2) Do you think it entriely possible that while Intel were overcharging you for crippled processors AMD WAS INDEED concentrating on gamers but NOT bringing out the all killer AMD FX everyone wanted and producing better APUs to get into the console machines?!
3) Do you think it possible that before very long PC gaming will improve dramatically, including even with the porting, and that this was down to AMD's APUs being in the consoles and therefore you will have AMD to thank for this?
Yes I now realise that the next 12 months are going to be extremely interesting, extremely exciting and EXTREMELY FUNNY!!
LMAO!!

PS4 & XBOX 720 REVELATIONS
Not my rumours you understand but those of others and along with comments I have seen made by some that were wrong and a bit silly but I will just run through what I understand at present, before diving in a bit deeper.
As far as I am aware both consoles, Sony PS4 and XBOX 720, are going to be remarkably similar in their chips and power.
As far as I know there is talk of 8 cores in the CPU side and AMD Radeon at least for the PS4 but what I cannot fathom for sure is exactly what the GPU specifics are because everyone is speaking about the CPU like it is a single 8 core unit and they call it Jaguar. As far as I know the only 8 core CPUs that AMD produce are BULLDOZER, PILEDRIVER and the next iteration is STEAMROLLER between late 2013 and early 2014!
SO what is this other EIGHT CORE CPU?
Well I would wager that if it IS eight cores then they are using TWO CPUs?!
If so then the graphics chip version everyone is talking about may actually have TWO?!
I say this because I have seen many people disappointed while others reply to that disappointment by pointing out quite correctly that the PC is built VERY differently and that it has to cater for a hungry horse of a Windows OS and many other programs, stand alone or background, simultaneously.
The odd thing is I had long thought that the sensible route for both the PS4 and the XBOX would be the dual APU route. Lower power, twice the graphics and proper x86 cores all developers are familiar with. You know it makes sense?! Now I wonder if that is indeed they route they have taken.
Now this leads me onto the other thing that has disappointed people in that they have stated that they can get more graphical power from a PC?! Umm well that has always been the case when these things are released mate! But it never seemed that way because PC games players are short changed by the game developers and I really DO mean that. PORTING is a lazy and greedy way out. It is almost like selling only square pegs to everyone despite whether or not they have square or round holes...ALMOST.
No what happens is that when the new consoles and games come out, and largely what i have been waiting for for over a year now, is that then these games show us PC users, or at least those of us with the knowledge, exactly what the SLI system we have now owned for a year is capable of?! Well maybe owned a few months unless you are water cooling, lol.
No so I think when launched and tested along with a handful of games I think it will be no different to all other launches and wow factors, I really do and then I and other PC gamers will be salivating and eyeing up that dinghy to wade through our gooey living rooms wondering when these titles, and other developers, get their releases out to us?! Funny they always talk about how can they are and want to push the envelope of the technology but they do not really. Or at least a VERY tiny fraction of games developers do with Bethesda being, or at least so it appears, being the only one I can think of.
Then I go and get bloody annoyed with them and email them tearing crap from them because I put up videos up of me playing parts of Skyrim, which is currently frustrating to achieve, more so to upload and then I am told off for monetizing the video, so people clicking on adverts I get tiny payments for and they do not like it?! Jesus Christ man sort out your god damn copyright and stop appearing to be run by a bunch of blood sucking vampires bleeding people for money for the same old thing over and over again....or lawyers, lol.
If I do a video of me gardening I do not have to pay Draper, or me using Office i do not have to pay Microsoft, or me using laptop I do not have to pay HP. You get free advertising of your product, especially as I show laptop users what they can and cannot get away with and I get refused permission?!
Well let us see how that pans out for you?! lol.
I digress...I do that a lot!
Anyway I now am very keen to see these things launched and even pictures of thie things would be nice despite me not going to buy one and never owning one, except a PSP when it launched. It is interesting to see the designs and you never know they just might bring out something and with such a fabulous design, well yes they have been crap up until now and really should take a gander at the dozens concept designs from fans out there as their are some damn good one, that will make me want to buy one?!
Possibly?
So the rest of 2013 is going to be very interesting in this field indeed...
I WILL build a new RIG
PS4 and XBOX 720 launches with all next gen gaming titles...
AMD Steamroller I would wager appears September or October
Radeon HD 8970 and nVidia Geforce 780 graphics cards should be out too
Leap Motion (Motion Control 1000s time better than KINECT?!)
Vuse Eye Glass Mobile Headset
You know along with other things I have going on from this coming week up until May this year ad with everything else on the other blogs I have having their own developments I may just ... EXPLODE with EXCITEMENT during 2013.
Ooh that 13 ... will that number actually go and do it again?!?!
LMAO...
