microsoft has been obsolete for a while
>>
what did they do this time? bash on xbox?
>>
>>59829729
only windows desktops.
other systems are still usable.

Apple made them obsolete a number of years ago already, they literally binned the idea.

Well, the specs are ultimately equal to a mid-range rig. So no. This is what the consoles should have had in the first place, back in 2013. But at least they're making progress again.

businesses are moving to laptops and cloud

there is zero reason for a hard drive, gpu or even ram... unless you need to render in real time

apparently it's a custom job with lots of dx12 shit cooked into silicon
think of it as HW video decoders
>>

Yes

AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all BTFO

Only tech worth owning soon is Samsung phone, Apple laptop, and Scorpio tbqh

Maybe an Apple Watch as well

No.

They did make desktop gaming a nonsequitur though.

If all you want is gaming, buy an Xbox. Give it mouse and keyboard support and there's very little reason to build a dedicated gaming computer/htpc.

Is there something wrong with jaguar cores?

Kb+m update is coming in the summer. I hope this means it'll get some more pc games.

Too bad nobody wants to develop for xbox. Sony has always had the developers and the better game library.

why would you even own a console if not for jap games
>>
>>59832797
Why would you own a console if it's not to play casual games with your casual friends? The whole concept of the console was designed literally for casuals who can't/won't play on pc. If you want your niche games play them on the pc like every other person.

Pretty sure that's not a Jaguar but a Cheetah.

But Scorpio is powered by an AMD chip.

I really don't see desktops ever going away, there's always going to be a need for them. Mobile devices aren't the end all be all and neither are desktops they both have their uses.

Wrong board?

>>59832474
They're phone tier CPU cores. Any high power desktop core from the last 8 years obliterates them.
>>
>>59835095

Yes and? Desktop CPUs would drive the cost substantially up. When you design games for the hardware, then optimize the hardware for the games, you get a CPU that is good enough for the job but doesn't add another $200 to the cost of the system. Not to mention doesn't set your house on fire.

>>59835138
Look at all these excuses for being poor you have.
>>
>>59834171
No, Microsoft made their own, just like they did with the original Xbox and the Xbox 360. That's why you can't play the Halo games on anything but the Xboxes, they made their own API for them.

It also lets them use more of the consoles power than a PC, so the line between raw TFLOPS and performance becomes much more blurred.
