PS4 is looking pretty powerful so I could see this. As long as Dice is making good games I will be happy with whatever they put out.

I forgot that too... virtualization always had some performance costs... you share the same physical hardware between  two or more OSs... a good example in my projeto for better "costs" they resolved to make a virtualized pool of Oracle Database for some customers... so the same pysical machine have three OSs running Oracle Database Servers for different customers.

We faced a lot of performance issues that we never had when running only one OS + Oracle Database Server per physical machine... even when this virtualized machine is phusically close to five times stronger than the dedicated.

Even the Oracle documents says they didn't recomend use virtualized OSs for best performance.

EVerything had a cost... you lost in performance but it is cheaper to maintance and sustain... so the company decided to works to make the virtualized scenario works better even if they needed to upgrade the physical hardware.

WoW, that is a amazing title that has nothing to do with the presentation.

Frostbite is a generic very scalable engine, it could have any lead platform and delivery the best of it.

Yes you're completely correct, you spot on nailed the 720p varying fps with that comment. I'm sure that's delivering the best of what x1 has to offer. Don't go back on your words. 

They are optimizing the Frostbite especificly to Mantle and PS4... everything else will run using DirectX... so in a easy terms "Mantle and PS4" are the lead plataform.

Discussed it with my teach yesterday, he told me the same. That said, having two monoprocess OS for UI and Kinect could really ease apps developpement.

But it indeed have a cost.

What about Itel chipsets that use ERAM for ebedded V-cards?

What about ARM cores that use ERAM?

They are optimizing Frostbite for the PS4, the Xbox1, AMD CPUs, Intel CPUs, AMD GPUs, nVidea GPUs, for Linux, for Windows... go look at DICE job appliance.

Aerys said: PS4 lead platform confirmed, much better performances for the futur ea games, like dragon age 3, mass effect, star wars, ... "PS4 & Mantle will drive Frostbite design and optimisation going forward"   http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=715118

I really can't see saying anywhere ps4 is a lead platform from that and ofcours sonygaf going to say it 

Exactly a good example of what I said... creep performance in both cases due hardware issues and devs not working to use optimize for these decices and at the end this v-cards didn't even render in 720p lol.
