Will The Playstation 4 Look Like This?
AMD recently unveiled a new graphics chip that could possibly give us a glimpse of what to expect from the graphics of the next-next generation consoles.
Like the upcoming IBM Cell chip, the new AMD chip is capable of doing a full TeraFLOPS of processing power, and is actually more powerful that all of the video game home consoles before it – combined!
The real time tech demo of the chip in action – awesome.
Here’s what AMD had to say:
“With Cinema 2.0 you won’t just play movies, you’ll play in them. Imagine the ability to look around the environments in a sci-fi movie, put yourself in the driver’s seat in a race scene, duck behind things and pop up to see what’s going on in an intense firefight – all of these things are possible with Cinema 2.0,” said Charlie Boswell, director, Digital Media & Entertainment, AMD.
“The challenge for any director has always been taking a wonderful vision in the canvas of the mind and translating that to film for the audience to see. Cinema 2.0 breaks down the time and cost barriers of getting a scene or shot that’s ‘just right’, and what’s better, allows audiences to dive deeper into the experience to explore every part of that director’s vision.”“Today’s demonstration of Cinema 2.0 represents a sip from the multi-billion dollar gaming industry’s Holy Grail, while presenting a new quest to digital filmmakers,” said Richard Huddy, worldwide developer relations manager, AMD Graphics Product Group. “Imagine going to the opening of a movie and upon getting home being able to play a game that looks and feels absolutely identical – right down to the character models and sets.”
