More good news for AMD (CPU side anyway) and it's looking good for 2018 as well. Long may it continue 🙂

As long as AMD keeps raking in cash from these large corporations, all that money will [hopefully] go toward improving designs that will trickle down to consumers, and helps encourage competition. The rumors around Ryzen 2 look very appealing, so I like where everything is heading. But let's not get too excited too soon - AMD may finally be in the black but Intel historically never allowed AMD to get too far, and Nvidia's Volta spells bad news for RTG.

The GPU parts in the Xbox one and PS4.
They are based on AMDs previous high end config.
Which is very similar to the current high end GPU design from AMD.
People also forget that VEGA is essentially IT for both GPGPU computing and gaming.
That means it hosts alot of silicon dedicated to GPGPU.
The likes of the GTX 1080 cuts out alot of silicon dedicated to GPGPU performance which can either make a simpler chip that runs cooler and or faster. Or they can add back features that increase gaming petformance.
VEGA is a compromise between gaming and GPGPU.
Nvidia has the benefit that it doesnt have to float the CPU business as well.
But AMD get feature synergy for laptop cpus. (Good internal GPU ).

Dwwolf i would actually prefer it if the GPGPU circuitry was remived from AMD gpus if it made them cheaper and faster for gaming, as gaming is where the gpu should be focused on anyway.
amd can keep those GPGPU features for pro/workstation cards where it matters.
