| drkohler said: Seriously, people. Get a life.... Somebody posts a bullsh*t article and everybody goes crazy. One month ago, MS posted a job position for a chief architect for the next XBbox desgin and two weeks later, EA has a developer unit? Gimme a break... |
Those positions were advertised late last year and they have no real bearing on the design stage or even devkits. For a while, DKs are going to be the next closest PC set up until they start fab, which if its anything like Xbox 360 could be as little as 4 months before launch.
The architect position is less integral to the box as a whole, more to do with shape and placements, as well as budget. The GPU and CPU are contracted out to the best of the best, architect just puts them together with some ram, a disc drive and some buses.
