AMD-bossen Devinder Kumar har i en samtale med sitet BGR luftet sine tanker omkring de nye konsoller og deres kommende arvtagere.
Således fortæller han, at han forventer en kortere produktcyklus end tidligere for denne generation. Så vi skal ganske sikkert ikke forvente ti års pause mellem konsolgenerationerne denne gang.
Kumar fortæller i reference til Microsoft og Sony:
"The life cycle of the products are probably going to be shorter. Our customers are already thinking about what comes next. These are long life cycle products and as you know in the semi-custom space, you start with - three years before you introduce a product, a decision is made to use a particular company. In this case it was AMD. And then you go ahead and co-develop the product with the funding dollars frankly, mostly coming from our customers. And then when you introduce the product, there is really no expenses from R&D standpoint, no sales and marketing dollars and whatever dollars you generate from a gross margin dollar standpoint, falls to the bottom-line and that's what excites us."
Hvad tror I? Bliver der kortere ventetid på næste generation af konsoller?
