Discussion RDNA 5 / UDNA (CDNA Next) speculation

[Win2012R2]

AT2 is for Nextbox gamer cattle, AT0 is for rich people who actually intend to make money off them.
Xbox Cloud is lead customer.

And how much Xbox is paying for this - more than $2k per unit?

a better question to ask is, is Xbox cloud even popular? I haven’t seen a single person ever use it.

Also cloud gaming is just pure puke, the latency is horrible and you NEED to have a fibre connection as well as Ethernet for a somewhat decent experience. I’ve tried GeForce Now and it’s not worth it. It’s just a glorified hardware rental service.

Decently so.

Yeah.

Quite a lot more, remember CGVDI AT0 is 128GB GDDR7.

Input lag will always hold it back from replacing physical hardware for all use cases, but it does have its uses.
I'm mainly interested in the server setup.

Yeah, that's gonna cost a fortune - the memory part will bite if current prices stay, and looks like they will for some time.

IMHO could gaming can only work if they start putting servers very much nearby where people are so that latency is always <10 ms, ideally in 4-5 ms range. But there are no big economies of scale for such distributed server farms, and use case is marginal financially.

With so much memory this could make nice local AI running thingy, even if memory is 64 GB - still might be good.

Yeah that ain't happening, best case is <50ms for like 90% of major countries population in the next 15 years.

Yeah you get Pro and ML specific models too, it should be good at basically everything.
Such is the freedom of big dies.
