So I wonder with the whole azure thing if they set up a game to stream like Onlive/PSNow they could have a back end as powerful as they liked and the res effectively would be set by your download speed. You avoid the hardware race and people just get better internet to obtain a higher res.   I wonder what you'd need for a 4K stream with input taken into account.

 

If you happen to live somewhere with very fast and cheap internet, it's already relatively cost effective to spin up an AWS instance with Windows and game on that. No initial cost for hardware, and you get to upgrade when you feel like it.

What sort of hourly rate would AWS set you back for 1080p or 4k gaming? The other stuff is easy, just need a big, low latency connection. 15 meg suffices for Netflix 4k.

 

Xbox as a service. Yank ISPs would shit the bed, they're all shite with lousy data caps.

Yeah I looked into this a couple of months back. It's in the region of a couple hundred dollars a year based on my gaming usage. Only thing at the time was GPU hardware acceleration was a bit of a faff but there were guides about to sort that. Might look into it again.

Five to six times more powerful would essentially be 4k capable.  Which seems very unlikely unless they plan on selling it at an extreme loss.

 

Maybe it was 5-6% more powerful, haha.

 

If you take that statement literally, it should be more than merely 4K capable. PS4 is 1.84 TFLOPs, PS4K is supposed to be 2.3X more powerful than that in GPU processing, so should be ~4.2 TFLOPs. This rumoured beast machine would be more powerful than even the newly announced Nvidia P100, which tops out at 21.2 TFLOPs and retails for ~$12,000 (Nvidia are charging $129,000 for an 8-GPU HPC node currently).

First thing I thought when I read this, was that somebody has accidentally quoted Mister X Media and his split personality... The Insider! I just checked in on him, and sure enough, he's still claiming the Xbox One is sporting some super secret hardware, complete with detailed hardware diagrams and specs which prove it's three or four times more powerful than PS4, just the devs somehow haven't figured it out yet! At this point, he's a pin up for where extreme fanboy console wars can lead.

 

Enter at your peril

 

PS: Be warned, the salt content found in the topics which cover Digital Foundry could lead to a lethal dose!

 

It's like the technological equivalent of those alternative medicine forums where they read all sorts of scientific papers and steal the bits that sound like they might support their wacky ideas without understanding any of it.

I guess I wasn't taking it that literally then, haha.  Damn.

 

Even something like the titan x is around 6 tflops I think, so I guess that would be insane.  Maybe it's 5-6% after all.

One of their major pieces of evidence for NeoGAF being biased towards Sony and staunchly anti-MS is that everyone stopped caring about VR once it was announced that the Oculus Rift would come with an XB1 controller :D It can't be a coincidence!

 

It's an amazing place and it really makes you appreciate how relatively normal Rllmuk is.

Apparently a few years ago he was shopping around a theory that the Xbox One had a whole second GPU under the first one that his "insider" said was a calculated move to trick Sony into making the PS4 less powerful.

Cunning use of the word relatively there, Gerbik!

Yeah but in this case he thinks Sony literally own Neogaf.

They don't? And this place, come to think of it?

Now tell us the truth about chem trails.

 

 

The number of people I see on social media that actually do believe in chem trails is astonishing. I've learned, the hard way, that trying to engage them rationally is totally futile...

18 months away... I'm thinking MS heard about Neo, shit themselves at being even further behind in power, and threw together this presentation in time for E3 with some numbers bigger than the supposed Neo numbers. A lot can happen in 18 months.
