Comment on AMD’s long term strategy with Fusion by ritchan

You know, the more I think about it, the more I agree in that I cannot see discrete graphics going away. There will always be a need for more performance, and AMD probably wouldn’t see anything wrong in exposing the discrete graphics hardware via the same interface that it uses for the FPUs on its CPUs (assuming that it does integrate some of the FPU units from a GPU onto the CPU and expose them via an extension to x87).

The killer app AMD had in mind while dreaming up Fusion was graphics, as this blog post was saying. Graphics is a huge market, one that Intel has pretty much corraled with its horrible integrated graphics bullshit. Plus you can never have enough hardware for graphics.

AMD’s Fusion architecture (APU) is currently targeting the budget desktops/notebooks. It might even be targeting some of the low end discrete graphics cards. There the APU is beneficial and save cost/power. However, the mainstream and high-end discrete GPU market will always be around to serve those power users and new demanding apps.

Beyond that Fusion may show up as CPU + coprocessor in various forms. I believe Fusion will enable AMD (and Intel) to create more “application-specific processors” in the future. The key is to find those new killer apps.

Agarest is addicting as it is strategy, you get to choose one of three lovely ladies to marry and have offspring with along getting to learn what skills can be combined and so much more.

In all, it´s a great game.

For VC, yes it is addicting and fun to play. But you replay stages to level up your soldiers? I didn´t :p There was no need for that.

You do get the full game when you buy it. EX Mode, Selvaria and Edy are all add on content that lets you play for more even after the game is over. They´ve extended the game as to say with special chapters.

At least they are cheap and somewhat worth it all.

VC2 is going to have some stuff that will irritate me, but in the aspect of it might leading to another VC title on the PS3 I´ll buy it.

Buying games is good for your health

I listened to most of the tracks (about 18 of them) and it sounds pretty good. Shiro Sagisu is a genius at music! I’ve could have done without the swearing, though…

@ritchan
:p

Then you understand why I´ve been wanting more funds for the last 10 years.

It isn´t highway robbery. Look for discs that are sold cheaply and buy them from online stores and contact them before so that you know that they are all in English.

I get confused since most of the games I buy have both English and French manuals.

Of course I’m not buying them. I have enough trouble buying PS3 games already which are fucking expensive, and I have to catch up on ALL THOSE PS2 GAMES FOR THE PAST 9 YEARS, while making sure they’re both PAL and have English options? fuck that. You can’t return games in Germany once you’ve bought them, so once you find you’ve bought the German only edition, you’re fucked. Yeah, it’s highway robbery to buy originals.

Sometimes I think I shoulda just gotten a PS2 and a Modbo/Matrix Infinity. In fact that’s just what I’ll do in December.

Hm, why are you not buying them?

It´s highway robbery to not buy the games :p

Not that into modding and what not anymore. To bad it didn´t work out for you.

I like the use of flash to emphasize how shiny the PS3 is. I have a PS3 sitting around (my roomie owns one) but he and I don’t really own anything worth playing. Regardless, have fun with your new toy!

Sorry, that is something I do not know as I only buy NTSC PS2 games.

You could try to go to http://www.game.co.uk and see if they have the PAL games you are looking for.

Sorry that I couldn´t be of more help.

Thanks! Do you know where I can get PAL PS2 games in English? It seems all the stuff here is German… where do all those Multilanguage PS2 ISOs on the internet come from then?
