By the way, watching the video made me realize how tiring should be to do one of these stop motion animations. |
AMD has generally used smaller wafer sizes relative to Nvidia, so it's not unreasonable to assume that they're paying less per chip, ignoring things like overall production yield. Regardless, it still translates to a fairly expensive piece of silicon.
At any rate, it's a faily safe bet that MS won't be using leading edge GPU designs in the next Xbox for price considerations alone. I'm sure they'd much rather have hardware with lower production costs, lower retail pricing and earlier profit margins even at the cost of any marketing bullets that tout the unheralded Next Gen Power of their new hardware.
As someone who's done stop motion animation, oof. You have no idea.
