 I think Sea of Thieves was designed to run on a i3 CPU..

Irrelevant? That tells us nothing of the intrinsic instructions a CPU holds as the "Core i3" spans from Nahelem right up to Coffee Lake, that's almost a decade right there.

Anyway its all speculation and rumours. Either way they go it will be interesting.

Indeed.

Sea of Thieves can run on a Intel Iris Pro 6200 or 540 as mentioned in the article below, I don't know much about those processors but it seems to be claimed as recommended to run SOTs at 540p @ 30frames.

Ill be looking forward to seeing what all brands offer in tech. Especially there directions.

You mean no more generation?

Which 5M X1X owners are you talking about? Have you already gone to the release of X2 to know how many X1X would have been sold up that time? And as I told you, MS promised that all the games running on X1X would run on X1, so unless they break that promise the cross gen would support not only X1X but also X1... and cross gen have been a thing on the market so a very long time.

But that isn't what no generation means. As you put PC. They don't make a port for last gen PC, they make a PC game with several options that your machine may or may not be able to play. So any "no gen" Xbox game would need to be the same, you put the same game on X1, X1X and X2 and it will run. Making a port for X1 or X1X of X2 games isn't generation-less, is just cross gen.

If you don't know what CGI would have to do with it, them you are even more lost than I would think.

But keep thinking that this supposed 5M X1X HW sales would be much relevant next gen.

This topic between us is going no where and I still think you have no idea how No Generations work. You still consider it an effort and a chore to make games on a platform which is using the no generation method. Generation leaps is why it becomes hard and a chore to make games work on older hardware, the reason PC works so well is because there isn't gen leaps, everything just carried over and plays even on old PC hardware.

Now its all speculation, no one is claiming MS will go this way, there all rumours, but if they do go that route than the next Xbox will be a advanced version of the X which will mean easy compatibility for X and Next Xbox owners. There next Xbox might only be a slight leap in power from the X, who knows.

I still have no idea why you are bringing a mod into our conversations.. so ill end it now. I have other things to be doing then debating with someone that seems to be sliding off topic arguments into a simple thread.

Enjoy.
