@TimSweeneyEpic@zebedee666 can't just mmap a blu ray. and, games need to cleverly prefetch assets needed later, to avoid dropped frames.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@TimSweeneyEpic@cr88192@zebedee666 OK now *that* makes some sense. didn't see that this was what you were talking about, because consoles3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@bmcnett@TimSweeneyEpic@cr88192@zebedee666 and if SSD latency is too much for mmap, Intel Xpoint is around the corner :)2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes
@SebAaltonen @bmcnett @cr88192 @zebedee666 I think that plus dedicated VR/AR platforms provide a real opportunity to reconsider architecture
