04 Introduction to Hardware Technologies for Games Platforms


Hardware Technologies for Games Platforms

An Introduction


Intro

   Now that we have understood the history, definition and concepts of games platforms we will now focus upon the more specific areas. In this case, that will be hardware. 
   
   Within the following posts featured within this blog i will be discussing and documenting the various manifestations and components of hardware which form and make-up the various games platforms for example: GPU's, CPU's RAM (and it's various forms) etc.
   I will also be explaining what HCI means and how it has developed since games platforms began. Along with this i will also be detailing the storage mediums, sound processors/systems and displays which accompany games platforms.

   All of this research is important and vital to better understand what exactly makes up a games platform and with this information it will be easier to understand just how the technology of the platforms has evolved from being fairly primitive to advanced machines capable of billions of calculations on the fly.

   So without further ado, let's crack on.
