MadАналитика: SteamBox aka Piston.

[truth1one]

Как известно, очень много разговоров идет об еще толком не анонсированной, полу-пк полу-консоли от Valve. Кто-то, посмотрев на Piston, уже успел окрестить ее steambox'ом, а в Рашке уже успели посмеятся над ее названием.    Прочесть

По-моему автор не сечёт фишку немного. Стимбокс вероятно будет не консолью, а софтовой платформой для запуска игр с фиксированными спецификациями. Эта идея ходит довольно давно. Суть такая - создаётся софтовая платформа (скажем ядро linux + фреймворк со всеми библиотеками), подбиваются вендоры, производители бытовой электроники и т.д. и через пару лет мы видим сотни моделей консоли с единой программной платформой, но от разных вендоров (типа самсунга, hp и вообще всех кто пожелает). Такая платформа легко масштабируема (то есть, скажем, внутри встроена систем оценки железяки и автоподгонки настроек игры под спецификации) и минимально геморна для разработчиков, т.к. обладает фиксированной программной архитектурой. Примерно так, как скажем, Android, только ориентированный исключительно на игры.

А при таких раскладках стимбокс будет не завязан на архитектуру и сможет быть установлен на ПК параллельно с обычной осью. Выигрыш в производительности тоже гарантирован, т.к. та же винда запускает мульён библиотек нахрен не нужных для игр. Единственный кто страдает от такой конфы - M$, чья ОСь теряет основное преимущество для знатной части населения.

But it will most likely happen at some point.", "the SG games are a bit 50/50, we sell them elsewhere but they bring a lot of support issues in their current state so we're hesitant to broaden the audience too much if we can't get the issues fixed...
