 Posted: Sat, 13th Sep 2014 21:42 Post subject: 711 million PC gamers in the world |
|
 |
| Quote: | This is the first time I can remember that PC gaming was mentioned at the Intel Developer Forum (IDF) without me having to remind an exec that we existed. Unprompted, Intel's Kirk Skaugen took to the stage in the main keynote proclaiming “desktop is alive and well. It's innovating, whether it's small form factors, all-in-ones, portable all-in-ones or extreme gaming.”
"There are 711 million PC gamers in the world today, that's one in ten people on the planet,” he enthused.
Skaugen was talking up their new Broadwell processors, coming our way early next year. They're Intel's first 14nm product based on the Haswell microarchitecture. Simply put,” he said, “this 14nm technology is the most advanced silicon manufacturing technology in the world.”
But it's not simply the die-shrink that's going to be important for Broadwell as Intel is really pushing forward the processor graphics of its next CPUs.
That's interesting because, for the first time, Intel is going to be slotting their top Iris Pro GPU component into a socketed processor. That means you should be able to buy an Iris Pro-based processor and drop it into a cheapo mini-ITX H97 motherboard to make an affordable mini gaming PC.
Of course you can already get a small form factor PC with the likes of the NUC and Gigabyte's Brix Pro, but those are super-expensive products. I'm hoping that Intel shifts the Iris Pro down into the more affordable i5 processor ranges, but they are not able to say yet what from those chips are going to take.
Unfortunately it's likely to remain a differentiator for Intel's K-series processors, even down at the Core i5 level. That still means potential for a far more affordable, teensy 1080p gaming PC than ever before.
“We're really focused around PC gaming and enthusiasts. This is the one area of PCs that has kept growing,” Intel's Lisa Graff told me at the show. “These are out most loyal customers: PC gamers. They want as much performance as we can throw at them. We're going to bring Intel's best technologies to bear for PC gaming.” |

Sooo if I make a pc game and only half the people buy it, that's 50$ * 350 000 000 = 17 500 000 000 $ nice profit for me

Solitaire is not visceral enough.
Needs strawberry jam on screen when you mess up.
"I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says.
Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

@escalibur
You see,
- PC Gamers are sexually active men&women in their prime with a diverse sex life
- Solitaire housewives are feeble, bored masterbaters
- MMO gamers are chronic hardcore yank-a-dick-till-it-falls-off masterbaters
Feel the difference!
We shouldn't mix them up
1) Lenovo Legion 7 (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3080 16Gb, 32Gb DDR4, SSD 1TB +2TB
2) SFFPC (streaming via Moonlight+ Sunshine)

For me the beautiful thing is that some of those people who before used to talk crap about the games and gaming in general are now playing themselves. 
It wont take many years from now when almost everybody will play something like people used to watch movies etc.. Sure there will be those who could never understand the whole point of gaming, but in general I'm sure the popularity is just growing.

@Guy_Incognito
Sometimes all what is left is just hearing about this. It's a heavy burden, man. Be brave

The funny thing is some of them still talk crap. "You are playing games??? Grow up!!! Now leave me alone I have to play Candy Crush!!"
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

No, bullshit! Remember 51.2555555% of gamers are women, so only 346m are sexist and misogynistic white CIS scum rapists.
All of them are pirates though. If they own a PC, they're pirates and never ever ever buy any games ever.

Why ? rambling ? are you 3 years old ? or do you believe what other say to you ?
Intel is now bitter on Amd ... just see all the things Intel did , all PR they did after the announce of new consoles hardware... same with Nvidia ... the very FIRST THING NVIDIA does ... it to ridicule AMD decisions ... like those alone halt the PC industry ... same with Intel ...
“We're really focused around PC gaming [read this as game port run faster only on OUR hardware] and enthusiasts [you have to be one , our prices are high for a reason]. This is the one area of PCs that has kept growing,” Intel's Lisa Graff told me at the show. “These are out most loyal customers: PC gamers [not like the console scum , you say]. They want as much performance as we can throw at them. We're going to bring Intel's best technologies to bear for PC gaming.” [We will do things better , we have the hardware, developed for laptop PC ... but Console companies did not liked US , geez guess they where not enthusiastic about our component prices]
When in reality they are bitter they did not get the billions ... that AMD in now making in the process ... to better develop their own hardware that will top the competition
Hell it was all a PR race , a race about HYPE and perception ... just see those muppets go "PS4 and X720p are now NEXT-GEN , with AMD hardware... AMD must be nextgen thats why it was picked" "If Ps4 can now play anything in 1080p60fps and its on AMD hardware , then why should i buy its 3x more expensive counter part Intel"
Its not about ME and you , knowing the difference , its all about PR and Smut ... and guess what ... so how to SPIN it all around to make Intel and Nvidia have a edge... hmm oh RIGHT ... 4K GAMING ...  Nvidia can into 4K ... Intel can into 4K .... go stay with your phffff AMD and its NEXT GEN 1080p60fps ... we are now in the cool aid club of 4k ....
Its all about money...
