Really an outstanding achievement, but also so devilish that no console maker will ever dare to trust them anymore. Surely not MS, but the others two won't take the risk either. But actually not a true loss for NVidia business style, they really prefer a high profit and profit margin on each cheap above all, and they produce low end ones just to complete their range of products and gather some more money, but like Apple, they always take the maximum care possible to prevent the low end from cannibalising higher end, more profitable products. Surely Intel made a far bigger mistake entering the mobile market late. |
Intel practically never had a chance in the mobile market despite their transistor density advantage and the inherent differences in the ISA made it so ...
Even if Intel had solved the clout from the previous x86 architecture design and made parts that were competitive in perf/watt the software ecosystem for ultra mobile x86 CPU based devices wouldn't have developed enough for it to take off on it's own ...
