AMD Cinema 2.0 Revealed: The Micro Way
The presesentation ends after a short Q&A WhatIfGaming did with AMD during the end of the conference. Now, what do we witness from what just transpired? Absolutely nothing. We will not go into cliché and list 4 other ways of saying “absolutely nothing.” AMD surprisingly didn’t have a direct definition when asked afterwards to “what exactly is Cinema 2.0″ WhatIfGaming will define it as best as we know how. You can quote us. Cinema 2.0 is an essentially flawed and mistaken concept built upon certain unconditional pretenses. The sad realization struck me midway in the later RV770/4000 series presentation reveal (NDA again), the details were extremely underwhelming to impress.
Cinema 2.0 as a concept even with in house compression similar to C2D, falls hard while crushing its knees. Hard disk standards haven’t stepped up to a point where every consumer can afford to buy a terabyte of space. And lets be real, with those stepped up HD models, this won’t happen until the general trend line remarkably increases. It’s also all based currently on speculative environments with box-ular environments, minus the reflections that are shaded with an impersonal algorithm. There really isn’t much more technical savvy stuff we can go into. And where’s Cinema 2.0 in any of this? Cinema 2.0 is virtually missing. That cruel grimacing “Cinema 2.0″ sign hanging above the speaker as they speak about DX10.1 and other stuff serves as a scathing reminder. Off the face of the galaxy, quickly shadowed by decently impressive HD 4870 specifications. Such a “revolution” so quickly forgotten. It’s going to be a sad plane ride home.
Lol. Saw some assets of this. Wasn’t too impressed tbh.
Yeah. Looks pretty average. Did you get a 4870 for review?
Seriously, I think the screens look great, but then again…implementing this won’t be for like 8-10 years.

Yeah. By themselves.
Cinema 2.0 my ass
Yeah, sounds dumb. Sadly you had to be at the whole conference.
Failure on many levels for AMD

Agreed
Yeah sounds about right. Beautiful article btw.
Crumble and burns C2.0 : /

It’s a failure of a concept really.
LOL. AMD don’t cry.
You at least say that HD 4000 series is still relatively exciting. Beautiful article!
Hrm, what a shame
Poor AMD. Sounds awful

It does. No execution. Just something like Web 2.0 crap.
At least 4000 > Nvidia 280’s
Sad. Sad 2.0
Sucks for them. They could have cut the BS

Yeah seriously
Cinema 2.0 Is a great concept, sadly me and every other gamer already had it.
Aw. At least my bf will get the 4000 series
At least the 4870 will be good. Usman did you get a sample? Plz comment!
Intel should start making GPU’s. ha ha
The memory is faster and new architecture. Love your bit on that btw. Best article on this subject
Sad to see it be like this. AMD can proves us wrong though, hopefully. Ok maybe not
A kick in the Enthusiast nuts
FreedomPhantom hates this. Beurk!
Style of this type article was extremely different and I love it very muich.
Thank yous,

At least the graphics are better this time around than the 280’s
Still getting 4870 for MMO…ONLY if WhatIfGaming reviews it. Let’s be real, I trust a dude who got admitted to college than college drop out writers

Yeah. Got Usman’s name off of the Princeton college forum section on CCD to begin with.
But aside from that, I like his writing and always have in general. Great and ingenious all around.
Poor Cin 2.0
