Why are consoles just AMD APU now? What happened to the days of wild, custom hardware architectures? Deck, PS5, XSS and XSX are all basically the same generation of AMD x86_64/AMD64 architecture

ok, maybe that's inefficient. maybe we should at least let people compile C into assembly for our consoles instead of expecting them to know assembly for our single use processor that will only get used in our cartridge based console.
>PS4/XB1
you know what? fuck it. let's just use x86. our console is near-peer with PC anyway and now we can bag multiplats easy. more money for everyone

if you don't miss dedicated hardware, you have no heart. if you want it back, you have no brain. i fondly remember the days of everything having exclusives for very legitimate technical reasons, when consoles had a distinct look and feel across games due to graphics being constrained by hardware limitations, when multiplats were rarely ever the same game across consoles. it was fun and unique and fit the vibe of the times. all that being said, what we have now is better for everyone involved.

devs can get games out the door quicker (if they're talented), companies no longer have to try to wrangle people into learning their specific hardware, gamers can have crossplay multiplayer games that generally work well seeing as how it's all largely the same under the hood.

Because AMD has managed to put high graphics performance in a low power x86 processor for the first time. Why settle for anything else? If anything, Nintendo is probably seething that they were a few years too early and are now locked to the ARM tegra ecosystem

>Why are consoles just AMD APU now?
Single chip solution with lower power consumption than any applicable competition. ISA alone means nothing. To devs with direct hardware access performance is performance. Fixating on hardware nuances is a thing for fanboys who never program.

I think this is well-expressed and covers most of the important points, but at the same time, it brings to mind two potential points of critical inefficiency:
>The aging x86 architecture
>Game engines with unoptimized graphical pipelines in the name of modern featuresets
It feels like everything is built without a shred of consideration for how it will perform now, or if it will even function in the future. We gained true multiplat releases at the cost of developers not trying at all to make those releases function even remotely well.

>>714150612 (OP)
>What happened to the days of wild, custom hardware architectures?
consoles weren't the only losers. we have to thank intel crappy strategies of "make it fast at the cost of security" for the current bloat we have today in hardware and shit like spectre and meltdown and probably even for microsoft taking over unix

While barely a console, Nintendo stuck with Nvidia ARM SoC for Switches.
I don't mind AMD, they somehow know what they are doing with integrated graphics. 8060s is really impressive, even if it's just half a step removed from being a discrete GPU.

>>714152720

Its a walled garden. Thats what makes a console.

>>714151920
>The aging x86 architecture
aging = fleshed out. zilog Z80 was made in 1976, orders closed just last year. i expect x86 to be much the same, it's been around for so long and proven so reliable that there's really no point in moving to a newer and less experienced platform. x86 does everything it needs to and more. is it the most power efficient? no, but if that's the biggest gripe, you're doing alright because power efficiency can be made up along the way. most of the time, people knock x86 for high power consumption and just being old. APUs fix most of that.
>Game engines with unoptimized graphical pipelines in the name of modern featuresets
unironic skill issue. these are made so new devs don't have to think as much and can shovel out games using pre-existing engines. remember, x86 ran all those in-house engines like id-tech and cryengine, there's no reason new devs can't make their own engine and make it optimized. if anything, this is a testament to x86's continued viability, because if x86 has been supporting this kind of retarded bloat for the last 10+ years then there's no reason to assume it can't outgrow bloat in the future. in any case, we know what can be done with decade old hardware, and bloat engines can produce better even now. worst case scenario, we end up with bloat engines being too bloated and someone else coming along with a new engine that performs better and solves the issue.

Is iPhone a console?

The first part of the answer that they never really were custom (or to the extent they weren't off-the-shelf, it's more like Google buying Intel Xeon CPUs with hardware instructions for PageRank than reinventing the wheel): in a world with more architectures in general they just tended to pick non-Wintel options. There used to be far greater diversity in personal computer market as well.

The second part of the answer is largely the same as the reason why the diversity in PC markets vanished. Increasing costs and expertise required to design and manufacture the hardware, convergence in different architectures like RISC and CISC style CPU architectures, high-level programming languages making it difficult to utilize unique quirks of the hardware that might be there, vendor lock-in and monopolistic business practices artificially stifling competition more than it already was, at the same time the benefits of standardization and compatibility becoming apparent, etc.

At the end of the day a computer is a computer, there's no computing task that one computer can perform and another cannot, and while implementing some features in hardware may allow you to do some things faster (for example, I understand sidescrolling games often worked, not by moving the scene pixel by pixel, or redrawing the entire scene from scratch every frame, but by utilizing byteshift operations, and Chess engines can be implemented much more efficiently with 64-bit word as that allows you to use bitboards to represent the 64-square board), video games nowadays are hardly distinct from general computing tasks. And among the surviving architectures and manufacturers from previous diversity, amd64/AMD gives the best offer.

>>714152783
how is that relevant? That's not his kid.

>>714152807
Different market segment but they wear the same clothes
They're just computers that artificially limit your usage for the purpose of vendor locked software. That is the singular reason why consoles ever came to be, so the hardware vendor could ensure you only run software that they get a cut of.

There's not really any point in making exotic hardware today. It's just very expensive, difficult to use for everyone involved and would probably be a lot slower than the shit already on offer that is made by the actual professionals.

And I don't think marketing crap like "blast processing" and "the power of the cell" flies anymore. People can see which hardware performs better with their own eyes and it's almost guaranteed to not be the exotic bespoke shit.

>>714151920
>>The aging x86 architecture
ARM is like 7 years younger than x86, but everyone is pretending it's like the new thing that's gonna revolutionize things or whatever. At present day present time, ARM and x86 are much more similar with each other than the marketing will have you believe. The only reason it's hyped up is because x86 is monopolized by two companies (one by accident), whereas ARM allows more people to do their own thing with their CPUs.

ARM a few years ago totally reversed their licensing structure, basically no one except Apple and maybe now Nvidia can create customized core arch. Every single vendor in the entire industry just repackages the same stock IP. MediaTek, Qualcomm, Rockchip, a dozen others, all of them can only offer the stock IP that ARM provides them. You need billions of dollars to have a custom core arch so there is still no difference there from the X86 market.

>What happened to the days of wild, custom hardware architectures?
Too expensive to design and create. Too expensive for game creators to program games for each snowflake custom hardware architecture. Custom hardware architectures were a necessity back in the day because there wasn't a standard way of doing fancy graphics for games so everyone on software and hardware-side alike was throwing shit at the wall to see what sticked. The gaming GPU as we know it didn't exist up until the late 90s, right about when the PS2 was released, and in the software-side it was only until 2002 that directX 9 was released, which would end up becoming the de facto standard for most PC games the following years. It's not a coincidence that the 2006 released PS3/Xbox 360 were the last consoles to have weird custom architectures (especially the PS3 wtf was up with that), with the following gens being just rebranded PCs.
>Why are consoles just AMD APU
AMD invested tons into APUs that combined CPU and GPU into one chip, which simplifies cooling and lowers costs for console manufacturers. It's only very recently that Intel managed to create integrated graphics that were good enough to match AMD's offerings. Also apparently NVIDIA is cancer to work with, which is why everyone avoided them like the plague, except Nintendo for some reason.

>>714157921
You wouldn't understand if I tried to explain it to you. You're not smart enough. The reason the kid is taller is much more likely related to nutrition than "recessive genes".

Because the chick was literally providing for him when he was starting LTT from their house? She was working her pharmacy job while Linus was basically unemployed.
