AMD was saved from collapse by fans of console games

Game consoles are still being sold as a bet, as many experts say they offer much better gameplay compared to PCs and mobile devices. Among them, the PlayStation 4 gaming console from Sony stands out by far. To date, retailers have sold a total of 117 million of these gaming consoles. Thus, the PlayStation 4 became the fastest-selling gaming device of all time.

Nedavno pa je v javnost zašla novica, da je priljubljenost igralne konzole PlayStation 4 podjetja Sony pred stečajem rešila podjetje AMD. To je javnosti razkril Renato Fragale, direktor podjetja OEM Consumer & Gaming. Ta je bil zadolžen za razvojni oddelek igralne konzole PlayStation 4. Podatek sicer ne preseneča, saj je podjetje AMD leta 2013 zabeležilo izgubo v višini kar 76 milijonov evrov, po pričetku prodaje priljubljene igralne konzole podjetja Sony pa se je njegova skupna prodaja procesorjev povečala za kar štiri procente, in sicer na preračunanih pet milijard.

As already limited, Sony managed to sell a total of more than 117 million units of the PlayStation 4 gaming console. It is equipped with a dedicated AMD processor codenamed Jaguar. The latest gaming console PlayStation 5 is also based on an AMD processor, which is equipped with an integrated graphics card based on the Radeon RDNA 2 core.
