Just wondering - seeing as both the major new consoles will be shipping with AMD 8-core CPU's, will this make games more biased towards AMD?
In the past (PC wise) games usually have run better on Intel chips being designed to make optimum use of them probably due to the use of the intel compiler (which is obviously going to be biased
)
What AMD CPU do these new consoles actually use? - i.e. are they actually bulldozer or whatever cores? - Think their x86 based so I'm pretty sure they will be better suited to games with coders having to do little to get them 'ported' to PC's.
Not sure of course as I don't understand the architecture very well, and obviously still undecided if I'll get an xbox 180 (
) or a PS4 yet, but FPS has always been reserved for the PC for me - nowt beats the gud ol mouse/keyboard combo for them type of games!
PS - I hate the thought of my console having 'MOWAR CORES' than my PC - its just not right!
