Erm...was that worth it?

You know what, I think it was after telling him six times I'm not talking about hardware or technology.
[QUOTE=BrainDeath;35510682]Strikes me as obscenely wasteful - multiple cores to run an OS which really shouldn't be doing anything in a console? If my computer can do networking, VOIP, and the OS on one thread, why would the Xbox need 4 for that?
I'll believe that the new Xbox has 8 cores and 8 virtual threads, or I'll believe it's x86, but both seems stupid.[/QUOTE]
It does seem kind of wasteful really. But if they do want to include Kinect and improve on it, having the extra cores would be nice. I still don't think this rumour has much ground mind, 16 cores is way overkill. As you said, a PC doesn't have that many cores/ threaded cores on average, what would they use it for in a simpler machine?

You've been talking about PC 'fanboys', which greatly correlates to technology, as it is formed around the argument that somebody likes PCs as if they are flawless.
[QUOTE=J!NX;35510676]"you are all being far too defensive over this."
yeah and you aren't?
"I have no called anyone a fanboy"
then I misread slightly because it [I]really[/I] sounded like you did
it's facepunch, in sensationalist headlines
it's a fuckfest of crazy
do you seriously expect anything else or are you new to fp? and it wasn't a discussion because ezio's crazy looking posts jumping the gun on things
the only reason we're having this is because of what ezio said, he said something that wasn't even IN the thread before he posted, so I made a joke about it. But you can't read above his post[/QUOTE]
A joke that was not funny and no-one laughed. I'm tired of going to every single thread about a console and seeing PC Fanboys talking about how they're the best people in the world.

You made a post about something that wasn't even in the thread until you came in. And it doesn't matter that no one laughed, still a joke
holy shit do you people have selective hearing?

I know, which is why I edited it to make my intention slightly clearer.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;35510673]I'm slightly pissed off that almost every fucking thread about a new console seems to devolve to this shit because people can't seem to just accept that consoles use older hardware without having to point out a PC is better hardware wise. There is no "discussion" in the threads after that, just shit like this.[/QUOTE]
You're on a forum dedicated to PC gaming. What did you really expect? Consoles do run older tech but they're easier to optimize for which is why they can still play games with impressive graphics. But Microsoft has made a fair amount of bad calls with technology. Kinect is impressive stuff but they're using it for shitty casual games, at least for the time being. I don't care what you say, 16 cores is overkill for a console even if 4 of them are going to Kinect tracking. Let's see some GTX 680 power going into a console. Bring a console to the raw power of a computer today, with the optimization that one hardware base has, it would be a [I]fantastic[/I] machine.

Consoles are so market friendly as well IMHO
I understand why some devs are angry at PC.

I wasn't being all "PC master race"
it was a joke
get the fuck over it kid
I'll admit it was a bad one but
[I]get over it[/I] you fool

I'm just tired of the people who constantly flame and pick a fight. Be more mature, and try to lose the 'master race' argument. That's a mistake that has been made too many times in history.
Okay guys, let's just end this debacle for now and get back to our PC browsing/Xbox playing/whatever.
[QUOTE=Protocol7;35510809]And what are you doing by going "lol PC fanboys?"[/QUOTE]
Not saying that Xbox owners are the masters of the world? Come on man, I thought I told you already that you need to read posts and think.

Thank you.
Nobody was being elitist until someone came in and said "Get a load of these PC fanboys."

So you're saying let the PC fanboys act like they're the best and let us take their shit? Sadly, I must decline your offer and don't compare this to the "Master Race" issues in the past. That is a really stupid comparison.
3d gaming platform master race!
[QUOTE=Protocol7;35510837]Thank you.
Us Pc Fanboys were being elitist until someone came in with a different opinion and said "Get a load of these PC fanboys."[/QUOTE]
It's too bad that having that many cores would be completely useless, considering that there is absolutely nothing that supports sixteen core CPU's, and they would actually have a lower performance than a quad core.

no one was acting like PC was the best before you posted
but of course you have selective hearing and thus can't understand

What do you think I put up with on Xbox all day? "OMG, PC sucks. Xbox looks way cooler."
I take their shit, so man up and take everything like a pinch of salt.

lol because you didn't

I'm not a PC fanboy. I have had both Xboxes since release day, I have a PSP, I grew up on PS2 and Gamecube. If you're done contributing anything useful then why don't you be quiet?
It'd end up costing $1000+
Definitely not.

Are you mentally retarded or have you never seen posts on a thread similar to this? Clearly, you PC idiots can talk the talk but when argued with, your arguments come to nothing but jumbled up garbage and insults.

You were the one going "Leave." and "Be quiet." Like you were authoritative or something

That's very cool and I'm proud of you for playing consoles. Have a gold star for being a good boy.
