Consoles better with Intel+Nvidia?

So the PS4 and XB1 are both equipped with what is essentially the same 8-core AMD Jaguar APU. According to reports, the APU cost the Sony & MS $110-120 out of consoles retailing for $400-500. It's working out pretty fine for the cost but even from the beginning several games struggled to output 1080p at 60 FPS.
My question is, would have an Intel CPU + Nividia GPU solution yielded a higher-performing or more future-proof solution for a similar or slightly higher cost? What kind of architectures would be used for a console application?
If you ask me, selling the consoles for a slight profit this generation around was a really safe move and they perform reasonably well. But now, three years after the fact, that move has cost everybody; resulting in games struggling to look any better than last generation and talks of "hardware refreshes" to ease gamers into slightly better machines while maintaining the same profit margins.
I really felt that the console makers should have stuck to a reasonable loss-leader strategy; of making a console that performs in the upper mid-range of gaming PCs while maintaining a small loss (a $100 loss on each console, at most). The console makers would lose money on each console but the sales of games and the value of the console's technology would build a customer base that would be profitable in the months and years to come, especially once economies of scale and shrinking chips make the consoles cheaper to make year by year.

Consoles are perfect for AMD. Cheap trash that barely works and uses a shit ton of power.

More complex code to get all the spyware working to make the hardware happy so it would run like shit.

can any of you fa/g/s explain to me why is 0-key on the right side, after 9 instead of before 1?
it literally doesn't make any sense

Because you start counting from one, and they just tack zero onto the end. Starting with zero is for programmer faggots.

Zero was invented after the number nine

HELP PLEASE.
I just built my first computer and everything turned on fine. I then booted windows 10 and everything worked fine and it downloaded. It loaded up and everything looked normal except no network connection. I don't have a wifi usb so the only connection I can get is ethernet but it's not showing up at all. What do i do? (Yes I googled it, no luck sadly)

You're a weird sad man.
Why doesn't Nvidia rebrand the 970 to 1060, and release the Pascal card as 1060 Ti later when they actually have it. Better than having no official mid range card at all.

Everything's just been really well timed, anon. Just wait for a bit.
>>
>>55307903
The 970 seems to have proved that $320 is the new $200. They're doing quite well releasing high end cards with a wait for a mediocre midrange.
>>
>>55307930
You're delusional if you think the 1060 will be any better than the 480. The 960 was complete shit and performed worse than the 380. Yet it still sold far more, because Nvidia don't need to have the best card to win. They can do the absolute bare minimum and get by, which is exactly what Pascal is and the 1060 will be.

Why would you want this? I just use mkfs.ext4 -m 0 (or tune2fs for existing) because I really want the storage and not this stupid overhead. With 0% the filesystem creation only uses <100 MB.

How stable and fast is ext4 compared to btrfs?
>>
>>55307896
Doesnt the "no fragmentation" meme technically come with performance losses which are just as comparable over time?

Great question. Been wondering it myself.
My guess is they're not new.

With so many people buying them from such reputable eBay sellers, there's just no way they aren't telling the truth.
Or at least, that's what I want to think. Pic related deal ends in 16 hours and I really wanted the phone, but I'm very skeptical about their profit margins

Most likely dead if it hits the ground while spinning.
Try plugging it into different sata ports.
Otherwise buy an SSD and restore data from backup.

I'll just pair up my rx480 with an i7 6700 just so I won't suffer from driver overhead and will get my money's worth from AMD.

You're the first person to make me believe in paid shills on /v/. You've been spamming this quite literally all day, despite seemingly having no real idea what you're talking about or how it affects anything. Haven't seen you link the original Digital Foundry articles about it even once, funnily enough. Worried that people might actually learn something? :^)

Hey /g/ I have a question.
So someone left their phone at my place after a party and I tried asking around but no one said it was theirs. Its password protected so I can't just open it.
Is there a way to unlock the phone without wiping memory?

I need help /g/ . It's the middle of the night and I want to surprise my girlfriend by going over to her house. I don't have any data connection but I do have GPS on my telephone. What app allows me to put in directions and navigate without wifi or data. Basically doing this offline ON my bicycle.

Openstreetmap
Google maps can cache a area of you want
Either way you're going to need a data connection
Or do it the old fashioned way and get a map
