It's a little more complicated than that.
AMD/ATI have gone all out with OpenCL and the I7 is no stranger to it. Why do you think it outperformed the other CPUs so badly? The really amusing thing will be to see how the next cards will increase the CPUs tested here.
Bottom line is I wasn't as blown away with them as I thought I would be buy hey, these cards new. It'll be fun to see them grow. View

darkequitus, I think you took that the wrong way.
The thing is if you were to run the graphics at a lower setting it'd give you a more accurate idea of the impact of directcompute on CPU's.
That's my only qualm with the results. PC vs console game quality had nothing to do with it. Anyone with more than six brain cells knows how that fight will end. View

Nasty.
Running the graphics on max settings doesn't leave much for directcompute to take off the CPU. If anything it (Directcompute) just makes the CPU pick up it's (GPU) slack like always (albeit in a much more functional way). I guess it's still pretty impressive though. View

LOL!
Sure you did...and I was abducted last night by aliens wanting to know what makes the 360 "teh bidness" and where they could get one. View

Meh...
I preordered. They do "massive damage" alright. It's funny as hell to watch. Juice the blades' skill all the way up and a single blow sends an enemy flying into the air. The punch combos look wild so long as there's nothing to hit. As soon as you strike the enemy once it's over. I'd have liked a combo with them or something. View

While it's nice to know I had it the right way 'round...
that's still not good news for gamers anywhere. View

Nice work IGN!
Another quality article for the masses. I'm wondering where they go to from here though. They need to build on this and further their reputation as being world class gaming journalists. Maybe a hard hitting story about the best games to play during a power outage would suffice. View

My understanding is limited.
From what I do understand though Australia is split into states and each state has an Attorney-General. They (the Attorney-Generals) all have to agree in order for a change in ratings to occur. A simple majority will not suffice. Is it just me or is that in itself just another broken aspect of the Australian system. As you say it lets one man dictate policy and that's just dumb. View

What a crock!
"Mathematical models have always helped people comprehend the concept of stability."

Stability is a relative concept. It pertains to a fixed situation/observation/applicat ion/etc within a preset range. I have no idea where the hell you're coming from on this one.

"When a certain phenomena kicks off with a full on blast, you can -- more or less -- predict that, eventually, things will slow down and reach a point of stability where further growth is sometimes not possible or -- perhaps -- makes no scientific sense."

For starters "a full on burst" is also called an explosion. An explosion is a rapid increase in volume and outlet of energy that travels outward from its' point of origin until dissipated. At no point does it (the explosion) "stabilize". The force is either there (reducing over time) or it's not.

So far, your article "makes no scientific sense" so let's move on to what you're trying to convey with it. Graphics are not "stabilizing". They are part of human mental evolution and as such are bound to change over time. It's that simple.
You do realize that extinction is the only alternative to evolution right?

I don't want to go on about it. Bitmob you have done yourselves a disservice today. View

Gamerdibs?
This entire article is based on what one person said. To make matters worse the last paragraph features this little gem:

"It is understandable that users feel betrayed and angered by the permanent termination of their accounts."

Microsoft went after consoles, not live accounts. This whole article is just a waste of space. View

M$ might want to choose a different tactic. Seems "shock n awe" didn't work too well when George used it last.

Sorry. I had to. View

Hehe.
How many of you read the article?
David Turek, makes mention of OpenCL being part of the new focus. A big selling point of OpenCL is when coding you have the ability to write once execute anywhere. (It doesn't quite work that way in practice but it's still a better system than the one it's replacing.)
Large numbers of cores don't require mad coding skills when using OpenCl. Parallel Compute workloads can be tasked to the CPU or GPU, it doesn't matter. You starting to see how it works yet? New hardware is required though. What's IBM going to produce? I don't know and neither does anyone else outside of IBM at the moment.
That said, who here thought IBM would create the Cell and say "alright, we can stop now. This is as good as it gets"? View

In one of the Silent Hill games there was a light sabre.
Running around killing critters with that was fun. On the other hand though, how much have western dev's "borrowed" from eastern culture? I'm sure it's not a one way thing. View

OMG
Some lines just shouldn't be crossed. Still, it wouldn't be the first time someone had strange feelings for software. Do you think they'll release a wedding mod for the truly twisted among us? View

I like what you've done here BIoodmask.
550 degrees, 15 comments (12 now) and no fanboy "my boobs are better than your boobs" trash talkin'.
*struck by sudden insight*
Alright! What have you done with the real BIoodmask? View

Ah, Wada...
that's an interesting prediction. There are a few holes in your theory though. Given the slow pace of internet infrastructure investment in some parts of the world and peoples attachment to physical media, ten years may not be long enough for global mass marketing of cloud based gaming to surpass current trends completely.
Going by some of his past "ideas" I'm of the opinion God ruined a perfectly good ass putting teeth in Wada's head but hey, it might happen. View

dead, I use a simple method.
If the author of any piece can't provide a form of proof or fact to back up their point, it's nothing more then a cry for hits. Using this method you'll be left with pieces you may not like but at the end of the day there is at least some substance to them. View

Joel, you're missing something here.
Think of all the sites out there that create factless, myopic, one-sided or just completely untrue "articles" just to generate buzz/hits for their site.
From the article: "It’s his job, it’s his opinion and at the end of the day it created a large buzz and interest."
You do realize HHG uses the same methodology. That said, how is it that stating this you claim to be any different? You've come on this site attacking people while claiming that it is wrong to do so. Look. I'm not going to attack you for it. Just think about what a senseless maze of BS a lot of the gaming "media" is.

I'll just give you some advice.

Apply the old "press" (written press that is) mantra, "All the news that's fit to print" not "all the crap we can for hits". That will separate you from other sites and provide you the credibility you so sorely desire. View

Be that as it may Shiggy...
Nintendo wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for you. Your creativity is one thing the new breed don't necessarily come equipped with. (Why the hell am I writing this as though I were talking to him?)

"there's alot Smart People in UK"
Is that your way of saying you're not from the UK. With a post that stupid I don't think you'd fit in there. Your comment is about an eight out of ten on the dumbass scale.
Nice work. Keep the laughs coming. View
