Thanks man. But I think I'm going to stop talking now.
Thanks for contributing as much as you could.

Sounds very, very off.Like I say, it's a one off, pretty small in business terms, payment. I want to say it was $200 million for Xenos, but that sounds like a lot.
Those consoles aren't out yet, so they aren't making money on them.Maybe they get a small amount, very small, per piece or something, but that cant be much either.
Look at AMD stock lately, 3 console wins means little
They don't, but they might control the production pipeline or not still; it's understandable if Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft don't want to deal with that; I mean they don't manufacture their console's either; it's up to foxconn and the like.And AMD doesn't manufacture anything LOL.

That's a nice bullshot of AssCreed III.I wouldn't taken the Warriors info to heart just yet. The game isn't that much of a looker on Wii U compared to other efforts.
So should we appoint bgassassin king of NintenGAF now or what?
Aren't all Ubi's? It's kind of hard to find a non bullshot one.That's a nice bullshot of AssCreed III.
I'd love that to be true.From B3D:
Dear ❚❚❚❚
Your service request : ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ has been reviewed and updated.
Response and Service Request History:
The Wii U utilizes an AMD E6760 GPU, which is a specially-designed, embedded GPU inside the Wii U specifically. This is based around the original design and has obviously been modified for the Wii U and its specific needs and configuration
If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reply to this e-mail directly and I will try to provide any additional information you may require. Thank you for contacting AMD!
In order to update this service request, please respond, leaveing the service request reference intact.
Best regards,

why it is written in Spanish?
Fixed.

^ It's actually brazilian portuguese.
It flows like portuguese (and I'm portuguese, so) Seemed out of place for portuguese from Portugal though so it felt like brazilian portuguese.It's spanish....
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

Sounds very, very off.
I mean Nintendo paid 1 Billion to licence IBM CPU's in 1999; 200 million in 2005 probably don't even cover R&D.
They'd be giving their chips for free at that price; specially if they didn't get royalties for each unit sold later.Those consoles aren't out yet, so they aren't making money on them.
And Nintendo most likely owns everything about flipper architecture so they're only making money with X360; but I believe they are.
Also bare in mind that the console market is not as big as the computer market; they sell 325 million computers per year and AMD get's almost 20% of that (2010 numbers); that's 65 million processors; a lot of console's don't reach that amount in their lifetimes and they're licencing, at this point low end chips to them so it can't amount to a lot of money; but it's a good thing to earn it.They don't, but they might control the production pipeline or not still; it's understandable if Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft don't want to deal with that; I mean they don't manufacture their console's either; it's up to foxconn and the like.
If this is true the Wii U has a DirectX 11 compliant 576 GFLOPs off-the-shelf(?) GPU consuming 35W of power. Which is why I'd lean towards not true.WHAT DOES THIS MEAN!?

LOL, you think any of these guys are paying 1 billion to license anything?
I think AMD's entire revenue last year was 1.5B. So you're telling me every console win (3 of them) is worth almost a year of revenue for them? Once again, LOL. And when does this massive revenue start? Wasn't any of the last five years lol.
Also, the way stock works, is you price in things from the future. So it's already known AMD has all 3 next consoles, and the stock is doing terrible, hint.
Winning consoles is very not-lucrative, fact. It's likely AMD does it for reasons mostly other than raw $.
2011 Annual Results
-- AMD revenue $6.57 billion, flat year-over-year
You guys are crazy lol (in a good kind of way)
It's like you're trying to solve an unsolvable murder mystery.
You're not going to find out who the killer is until November 18th.
I don't know how much they're paying (and I never implied they'd make a single payment; it's you who talked about a one off payment; and I quantified how much could that amount to... in 1999); I know though that ATi isn't giving GPU's out for free.LOL, you think any of these guys are paying 1 billion to license anything?
That's part of the fun of a shared murder mystery though. Tons of theories and eventual gloating rights.
Because someone faked an email?

It is a terrible attempt at a fake.This is based around the obviously been modified for the Wii U
Fixed.

'I worked for AMD up until two months ago. The Wii U GPU is based off the AMD E6760 GPU without the onboard memory supplied. At the time I left, I was aware that it will draw from a shared RAM pool of 1.5GB from the Wii U (DDR3-1800) and run at a clock speed of 824 mhz. The main CPU is a IBM power architecture quad core (with one disabled for yield, making it a tri-core) running at 3.0 ghz. The size of the eDRAM was not finalized before I left, nor was the clock speed of the main CPU. I got to work with two different engineering units, one had 3GB ram with the CPU clocked at 3.4 ghz and the other had 1.5GB ram with the CPU clocked at 3.0 ghz. I was told the 3.0 ghz unit was closest to production specs.'

This sounds like complete bullshit. No way the GPU and CPU clocks are that high. No developer would bitch about a 3Ghz cpu.

Basic specs do not match up. If it is a 476, it would have to have been radically changed (it seems).
It begins...People are saying it's a modified E6760.
The info come from Vandal, a spanish forum, not b3d.
It begins...
Reminds me of POWER7.
Which has been confirmed by the manufacturer
