Supplying the chips for the Xbox and playstation consoles has been pretty successful for amd. I suspect both Microsoft and Sony will be looking long and hard at an arm soc for their next generation consoles and it would be wise for AMD to have an answer to that when it comes.
- Grazester 6y agoWhy would they if AMD's x86-64bit offering remaining competitive, affordable, will offer easy backwards compatibility and easy PC game porting for developers? Sony and Microsoft are going nowhere but back to AMD/x86 if the next generation of console remain to same and the whole concept doesn't change drastically.
- pjmlp 6y agoPS5 and XBox X are hardly out and it will take about 5 years for them to even bother to start thinking about something else. Plus on the XBox side, one of the plus is being able to have the titles on Windows store as well, without much effort to the devs. That is wishful thinking. The Switch is already using ARM from NVidia.
- fomine3 6y agoIs ARM transition worth? Maybe both arch doesn't matter for develop new games, but x86 is better to easily achieve PS4/5 Xbox One/Series compatibility.
