The CES2013 is supported by a lot of highlights, and NVIDIA's Project Shield plans is one. Flow game server plus mobile palm game machine combined features make people look bright, but think about it, this will be a very dangerous plan.
First, Wii U has been listed and adopted AMD graphics card, and PS4 has exploded from 2011 to develop and determine the use of AMD graphics card as a design basis. The Xbox360 uses ATI graphics card upgrade should also use AMD's graphics card, to this full platform game host AMD This should actually be three major manufacturers to understand NVIDIA's intend to make a game host (or weaken the game host). It is impossible to get technical support from NVIDIA and it is not easy to talk, and AMD has been in this regard. There is enough experience to work more easier. At the same time, after the next-generation platform is unified, it will greatly improve the game developers to simultaneously compatibility with multiple platforms, how to decrease in hardware differentiation, how to do with game developers (traditional large 3D games, non-handheld leisure games) It is a good relationship to reduce the threshold to occupy a place in the future game host platform.
In addition, Valve confirms that the Linux gaming platform will develop, X86, then the graphics card can only be NVIDIA or AMD. If the first generation Steam Box is based on AMD, then the open source community will give more support, good feedback, and game Developer (Xbox 360 Platform) will be easier to migrate to Steam platform, and a new era of Windows in the PC game market will have new changes. This will produce great blow to NVIDIA. The latest news is the cooperation of Valve and X3i. It is highly concerned about its X7A modular computer products. More information, you can see 384 core GPU, 2.8-3.2g quad-core CPU should be FM2 A10 Dump Edition If the final Steambox is this product (Steambox is launched by Valve, will be promoted by the hardware OEM vendor in the way), then a year of upgrading, the rumors of the core module can be changed to reality.
What is wrong? High performance general calculations However, Intel CPU bundled Xeon PHI, with low power consumption but the AMD Fusion / ARM HSA Alliance, then NVIDIA will be abandoned by the public. It seems that the PC turns a moving graphic (SOC program) by the PC is impacted (SOC scheme), which will go straight because the transition is moving forward. Back to PC Game Platform? More and less PC first game has been destined to Windows PC will no longer be the best choice for the game. Can you get out of the new road and get rid of everything familiar?
What kind of technology is built on Project Shield?
Gigabit fiber access cloud server [or] self-built high-performance game server
Mobile, 4G access (delay limits most games) [or] intranet WIFI
Silly big game console + shortgoing flight
User group seems very narrow, even if everything is satisfied, who will come to develop games for such users? This is really not a money. I want to play a platform with Steam (Steam starts to keep the Linux game platform, just do intend to make cloud game services) is not so easy, even if the server, you have technical advantages, but the maturity of the platform will pull this gap, and Relatively speaking, the user is difficult to compare the performance of the background performance, and the game market is extremely optimized, and the targeted is extremely targeted. In addition, the unity of the X86 and ARM platforms of the PC is Microsoft, which is also STEAM, and the differentiation of hardware will gradually be flattened by modern crafts. So, the development of the unified system, the maturity of services is to ensure profitable At the fundamental point, I will go to a novel architecture, it is difficult to get the support of the developer, just like the old road of CUDA. The CUDA's road is getting narrower. It seems that it still maintains a leading advantage. It has been alive, so the old yellow is just a successful businessman, but it is not possible to become a leader who has a trend of insight technology and long-term planning. Rolling road, evil road.
2013, ARM and X86 began to close from the hardware, before the remote cloud computing regional implementation, software developers seek unity, not once again, cross-platform technology will get more markets.
If the final Project Shield is just a play nature, sell hardware, promotion to other merchants to step on the thunder, it is just auxiliary, maybe add new highlights to the financial statements, but CES is old Huang said, "We don't lose hardware "It seems to intend to formulate its formal product and vigorously promote it, which may have become a reality.
