So with the new Xbone release it seems to me Microsoft is hammering either another nail in it's coffin or planting a seed which will blossom into a magnificent tree. Here though, I found myself asking at what point will physical CPUs and GPUs converge to a middle-ground area where one might expect one component or the next to deliver a console-like experience in a singular component? At what point in the future might one of the big three release a catch-all component which can perform in parallel to its bastard brother singularly, or at least carry itself through generations with at best marginal support from other components in your typical PC? I understand that GPUs and CPUs serve genuinely different purposes but is there a level of convergence where one might grossly overpower the other without concerns of physical bottlenecking or are we inevitably competing against one another?
Really?

this mans cranial region seems rather none existent..
When AMD release an APU with HBM memory. It should be easy enough to fit 8 core ryzen + gpu and HBM on one interposer. 16gb or 32gb of HBM + nvme ssd should be enough for any consumer for the life of the system. The question is will people buy a SoC with built in ram or complain about not having ram slots?
CPU + GPU sharing HBM with HSA functions should outperform separate components but windows software not making use of the functions will limit the gains. Excluding the power supply you could have an entire PC the size of a high end GPU.
When games get more optimized to run on pc like they do on console, and when integrates graphics get a lot better.
If AMD can make a 200$ apu with the cpu performance of a Ryzen 1600 + the gpu performance of an Rx 470
I will jizz in my pants

Perhaps in the next couple generations then? It seems to me Microshaft is intent on steering the console market towards PC with UWP and furthering their monopoly on the computer market while fostering the ideal that they're developing for the gamer while at the same time moving towards the only markets they dominate, furthering their market position. This understanding is furthered by their constant reliance on AMD given your response which is, at least to me, congruent with AMD's strategy with their future releases.
Would you agree?

the only fuck up they did was not stick a cut down Ryzen 1700 in there but i can see why it would drive up the price too much and probably isnt needed for 30fps 4k or 1080p 60hz

Did you just run your post through a thesaurus a dozen times?

Is it that bad? I did it off the top of my head, honest.

I mean, it's readable and hasn't a word out of place, but it's kinda fluffy if you get what I mean. And reading it again it's not reallly even the word choice. So maybe not a thesaurus. Reads more like presentation than a 4chan post.
