if its strictly nas, yeah thats a flaw. the advantage of the x86 devices is that the low power chips have good transcoding. so its common for people to pick up intel n series boards for intel quicksync, and the raw expansion ports for storage
AMD is testing arm in the backend, but they have no incentive to switching to an ARM design at the moment. I fully believe both AMD and Nvidia are waiting for Qualcomm/Microsoft to iron out Windows for Arm before they release their projects. Nvidia of course has experience via tegra for linux via jetson. AMD is just making use of their advantageous situation on desktop/server market to not need to immediately shift to ARM.
With Ryzen x3D for consumers(desktop), and Ryzen #c cores for low power server core count/low power consumption/yields. they control a huge mind share and the only one they dont control is low power boards (<35W) devices as it’s not their current priority (theyre devouring the server market)
no, it runs on x86 as its essentially a semicustom AMD chip. AMD currently does not have any consumer facing ARM chips
battlefields a bit different. battlefield basically nowadays is that the game always launch in a terrible state, and fixes itself a year down the line. battlefield players will play the game regardless and maintains ~6000 user playerbase active
the advtage the steam system has is first the bought game/gifted game situation, as well as the more important factor, the recent opinion score, as at amy given momemt a game can get good because of a major change (e. g payday 2 reverting all the pay 2 win content the original publisher mandated) or gone to shit because of greed or a bad patch.
the problem users have is finding a curator that has a similar taste in games that they do. If I was a fan of JRPGs, im not going to care about the opinion on some person who doesnt really play jrpgs. at the same time, if you like some niche genre, to the general public, that niche is always less popular, so itll get worse ratings thanit should compared to people who enjoy said niche.
the problem is the covid supply chain ended a while ago and console sales havent drastically picked up since then. the PS5 has been orderable direct from sony for quite a long while now, and shortly after in stores. physical game sales (something console users champion, has gone way down (according to sony, only 30% of the sales are physical now)
im not saying consoles have 0 appeal and wont have buyers, its just that their market is in real time, decreasing while on pc has increased, especially post covid. with the advent of streaming, more and more people are shifting over to PC because of it. im not saying consoles are dead as in 0 sales, but the market is forever going to decrease for it, as more people get into pc, and those countries that cant afford to already got into mobile gaming (mobile gaming accounts for more than 50% of the profits of game sales)
the difference is at least you can see it in more real time numbers. Xbox is clearly a dying brand, which leaves Sonys home console sales for now (~60M) and the switch as a handheld device. Devs are already starting to port everything on PC, and 1st party game development rate has gone down a lot. 3rd party devs are also starting to abandon console exclusively/timed exclusively over time (capcom making the next monster hunter simul release on pc instead of a year and a half cadence, square enix backtracking on making final fantasy a timed exclusive due to not enough sales)
Japan is completely flipping its old image of PC being the device for porn addicts of years past and starting to heavily buy into pc too, which is why Valve went to attend Tokyo gameshow to pitch the steamdeck for japanese handheld players(which remain the majority of console purchases in japan)
were basically at the point on the timeline where PC and Mobile basically kills consoles.
possily running into b vs m key situation. if you have a laptop that was made during the transition period of sata based m.2 to pci-e based ones, knowing which key you needed is important.
would they not have to have evidence that a review is fake? especially if you bought a product (e. g on amazon) its very easy to verify you have likely bought a product and have it in question to review.
most channels dont have/cant afford/gave a shit about having a product designer on board
nintendo and DeNA crates a joint venture team last year, so i highly doubt theyre pulling out of mobile, theyre just relying less on it.
i mean iirc capcom already had done something similar beforehand with megaman x dive
usually a math degree is like 1 or 2 classes added onto an engineering degree, which is why its not unheard of for engineering majors to also have a mathematics degree
gotta watch out for those agricultural goths, if they manage to get some gold, you’re about to see a lot of Huskarls come out of their barracks and castles.
there are different methods of rounding, and this one is likely caused by the always round up method when at a .5 value. there are methods that evenly distribute rounding, or at least attempt to.
bungie hasnt been affiliated with microsoft for almost 2 decades now.
the whole point of destiny was microsoft wanted them to keep working on Halo, but they wanted to work on something else, so they bought their independence
its more or less that yes. they saw the money but not the time and effort to get users to use your platform.
and its not like impossible, as long as you can create games people will play and stay at itll work (e.g Riot), but they legit put such little effort in the launchers that it was creating a negative user experience, and never put in the money to make it better.
