It's Linux, what's so closed about it? :P

Closed when it comes to hardware, obviously .

I think we have a comunication problem here.

I'm not talking about the OS, I'm talking about the hardware, the machines, the 300 prototypes that all of them are powered by Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs.

They need to use AMD parts to get as much data as possible in order to avoid problems when the final machines are launched, some with AMD parts and/or when people use their own PCs with AMD parts with the free SteamOS.

That's my problem with those 300 boxes... unless Valve decides to go only Intel/Nvidia, but that would be a stupid move.


That'll be up to AMD, I doubt Valve would leave them out of the equation.

I'm so very confused. Why are we comparing PC specs to console specs? I mean, we know PCs are more powerful than consoles, right?

At any rite, prices are misleading if I'm interpreting this right. There is more to building a console than buying a GPU, CPU, and Ram. Not like you can ducktape the components together. Doesn't take into account controllers, cooling, labor, etc unless I'm reading it wrong.


It worked for the PS4 and Xbone.
