Microsoft might be revising the Xbox One hardware before it even releases.

All DRM stuff aside there seems to be more drama inbound for the XBOX One. The Xbox One’s hardware isn't all too impressive when compared to its main competitor, the PS4 — and it would cost $100 more than Sony’s more powerful console. It now is suggested that Microsoft will change the XBOX One specs in order to not only better compete with Sony, but to better justify a $500 price tag.

The examiner has a report on this all: Some interesting news from this past weekend may bring to light some changes in design direction for the Xbox One though, as new rumors not only counter the previous "down clock" rumors, but also show that Microsoft is listening to developers input while they finalize the hardware specifications.

The rumors state the following:

The Xbox One GPU is getting an increase in clock speed
The Xbox One DDR3 RAM will increase from 8GB to 12GB
The Xbox One development team is asking for developer feedback on changes they would want to see hardware wise.




As I have said in the past, these rumors come and go and it's hard to justify reporting on every one. But when I approached a trusted source of mine regarding them... I was surprised by the answer, to say the least.

Essentially, the source has confirmed that the increase in GPU clock speed is 100% true, with the increase happening in direct response to the PlayStation 4. The increase has been a reality since before the reveal, as they have "been reacting to Sony ever since the first leaks of both systems." The news of this bump in clock speed was announced to first parties only, as they "actively spread disinformation to 3rd parties just before reveal to prevent leaks."

This is where things start to stray from the original rumor though. When asked about the increase in RAM (from 8GB to 12GB), the response I obtained was simply "I have heard nothing like that, the development kits have 12GB of RAM, but as far as I know the retail kits are locked in at 8GB."

The source also went on to state that "it wouldn't be much use given the actual speed (of said RAM)." As for current projects, they also are "too far gone for a bump to be beneficial" as many developers have been developing for the currently announced set of Xbox One specifications. He did mention that the possibility may still be there though, as the increase in RAM would help development of games 2014 and beyond when taking second screen gaming into consideration - something many developers have been focusing on.

But what about poaching developers for suggestions regarding the increase? Well, from my sources understanding, Respawn Entertainment may have been the ones lobbying for the RAM bump. This would actually make sense, as Respawn has been very clear and vocal about how the 5GB of RAM allotted for gaming on the Xbox One has already caused issues in development of TitanFall.

These are just rumors, and as the past has proven, rumors come and go while changing on the fly - please take all of these with a grain of salt.

Meanwhile in Japan ...

Voici le résumé de l'événement Microsoft Xbox One, qui s'est tenue le 21 mai 2013.



Je suis d'accord.

LIVERPOOL SOC

Custom implementation of AMD Fusion APU Architecture (Accelerated Processing Unit)

Each cluster contains 4 cores and a shared 2MB L2 cache
256-bit SIMD operations, 128-bit SIMD ALU
SSE up to SSE4, as well as Advanced Vector Extensions (AVX)
One hardware thread per core
Decodes, executes and retires at up to two intructions/cycle
Out of order execution
Per-core dedicated L1-I and L1-D cache (32Kb each)
Two pipes per core yield 12,8 GFlops performance
102.4 GFlops for system

GPU:

GPU is based on AMD’s “R10XX” (Southern Islands) architecture
DirectX 11.1+ feature set
Liverpool is an enhanced version of the architecture
18 Compute Units (CUs)
Hardware balanced at 14 CUs
Shared 512 KB of read/write L2 cache
800 Mhz
1.843 Tflops, 922 GigaOps/s
Dual shader engines
18 texture units
8 Render backends

Memory:

4 GB unified system memory, 176 GB/s
3.5 available to games (estimate)

Storage:

- High speed Blu-ray drive

single layer (25 GB) or dual layer (50 GB) discs
Partial constant angular velocity (PCAV)
Outer half of disc 6x (27 MB/s)
Inner half varies, 3.3x to 6x

- Internal mass storage

One SKU at launch: 500 GB HDD
There may also be a Flash drive SKU in the future

Networking:

1 Gb/s Ethernet, 802.11b/g/n WIFI, and Bluetooth

Peripherals:

Evolved Dualshock controller
Dual Camera
Move controller

Extra:

Audio Processor (ACP)
Video encode and decode (VCE/UVD) units
Display ScanOut Engine (DCE)
Zlib Decompression Hardware

UPDATE: certaines personnes sont confus au sujet du GPU, ici vous avez plus d'info à ce sujet:

Each CU contains dedicated:

- ALU (32 64-bit operations per cycle)

- Texture Unit

- L1 data cache

- Local data share (LDS)

About 14 + 4 balance:

- 4 additional CUs (410 Gflops) “extra” ALU as resource for compute

- Minor boost if used for rendering

Dual Shader Engines:

- 1.6 billion triangles/s, 1.6 billion vertices/s

18 Texture units

- 56 billion bilinear texture reads/s

- Can utilize full memory bandwith

8 Render backends:

- 32 color ops/cycle

- 128 depth ops/cycle

- Can utilize full memory bandwith



Toutes ces informations sont sujettes à modification à l'avenir par Sony.

VGLeaks claims to have leaked the first 'real' and full next-gen Xbox specifications and details of the system overview with the general components and some technical details about them. The processor has x64 architecture and eight cores running at 1.6 GHz. Each of those CPU threads has its own 32 kB L1 instruction cache and 32 kB L1 data cache. Each module of the four CPU cores has its own 2 MB L2 cache giving the processor a total of 4 MB of L2 cache. VGLeaks also reports that each core has one fully independent hardware thread and doesn't share execution resources.

Each hardware thread is also reportedly able to issue two instructions per clock cycle. The next-generation Xbox GPU is reportedly a custom D3D 11.1 class unit running at 800 MHz with 12 shader cores and 768 total threads. The machine is also paired with a 6x Blu-ray drive, gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, and various hardware accelerators for image, video, and audio codec.

Salut tous le monde, j'ai une PS3 et je veux acheter Journy depuis le PSN mais le problème c que je vis au Maroc, j'ai essayer avec ma carte visa ''made in Morroco'' mais sony ne veux pas mon argent !!
Alors je veux savoir s'il y a une autre solution alternative pour acheter (donner mon argent à sony) cette perle depuis mon payé africain ?
Merci.

Depuis la sombre affaire des DLC présents sur les disque de Street Fighter x Tekken, que certains petits malins avaient réussis à non-seulement débloquer mais en plus à jouer avec sur le net, Capcom vient de prendre une décision historique.

En effet, cette histoire a eu un impact que l'éditeur n'avait absolument pas évalué en amont et qui l'a rendu très impopulaire aux yeux des clients lambdas de la marque et même auprès de ses plus fervents fans et défenseurs. Capcom, en grande société japonaise qui se respecte, eut le choix entre le hara-kiri et une autre solution plus pacifique pour se faire pardonner auprès des joueurs mais la résolution prise par le géant du jeu de baston semble totalement surréaliste : l'éditeur annonce que les DLC de Street Fighter x Tekken seront bel et bien mis en vente aux prix fixés, comme convenu, mais une fois que ce sera fait, Capcom cessera de distribuer des DLC pour ses jeux. L'annonce résonne comme un coup de tonnerre sur le marché des jeux vidéos puisque Capcom faisait parti des acteurs les plus présents sur la distribution de contenus additionnels (aux cotés de Namco Bandai).

Une question se profile néanmoins à l'horizon : Capcom se décidera-t-il à sortir des jeux plus courts afin de sortir des suites plus rapidement ou les jeux à venir seront-ils plus complets (déjà livrés avec des hypothétiques DLC, par exemple) ?
