Enjoy! Seem to be causing some heat issues or something. 

(Also GPU clock maybe downgraded but I honestly have no idea what that means derp)

im reading the gaf thread now. Its not looking good. Matt just "confirmed", but still just rumors. I tend to side with playstation but this is actually really worrying.



red ring of death confirmed



I just skimmed over it, doesn't look pretty tbh.



Can someone explain eSRAM and why it's so important all of a sudden?

This is a rumor atm, hopefully one with no real merit. MS said they've been working on the Xbox ONE since 2010, surely they'd have it all but finished soon.



Oh my, it's the ONE....that name has jinxed it! You know, "One", like the ring? :S

Some insiders have already "confirmed". Though we don't know which side they confirmed, the 800-900 flops one or the eSRAM issues.

First, it's not important all of a sudden - it is usual stuff in consoles, even ps2 had it :)

 

What is it for? Well, the "path" from and to cpu is "long" and slow - that's why we have caches in processors so that often needed data are "nearer" and faster accessable to the cpu.  We now also have 2nd-level-cache, sometimes 3rd-level-cache, and then ram. You can think of another cache-like memory between the cpu and ram - esram is an especially high bandwidth, low-latency memory-solution.

Look at this picture:

From high to low memory is increased but therefore speed is also decreased - think of esram between ram and the caches.

Yeah, just finished reading.

Doesn't sound good for MS or anybody who intended to buy an Xbone for eye candy :/
