Comments on: AMD’s New 20nm APU Could Lead to Xbox One Slim Model http://www.vrworld.com/2014/10/31/amds-new-20nm-apu-could-lead-to-xbox-one-slim-model/ Thu, 09 Apr 2015 17:57:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: hi http://www.vrworld.com/2014/10/31/amds-new-20nm-apu-could-lead-to-xbox-one-slim-model/#comment-9066 Sun, 02 Nov 2014 14:31:00 +0000 http://www.brightsideofnews.com/?p=40972#comment-9066 I predict Microsoft will have a slim version available just after the 2015 holiday season. Microsoft is desperate to cut costs. The fact that PS4 is currently a hot seller adds more pressure to bend the cost curve. The constraint is TSMC’s ability to produce enough chips -its priority is Apple. AMD, Nvidia, Sony, Microsoft, & everyone else must wait in line. Sucks to have only one supplier and not be the big dog. I am not sure Microsoft can add Global Foundries either due to chip IP portability issues:http://chipdesignmag.com/display.php?articleId=5024&issueId=45

On another note -how dumb is McConnell to call out Microsoft in his efforts to explain past accomplishments? This is just as dumb as a teenager posting embarrassing photos on Instagram.

I’m not sure if AMD is more motivated towards Microsoft or Sony, but considering the PS4 has raked in some serious cash for them, I would imagine they’d favor Sony more.

Then again Sony is pretty busy with Project Morpheus and working the kinks out of PS Now, but I think a slim PS4 is definitely on their radar.
