The article below is about how the performance of games can be affected by a detailed knowledge of the architecture of computer/system the game is written for. It uses the Xenon architecture of the Xbox 360 as an example. It's quite interesting to see how the three-core design of the Xenon lends to special types of optimizations.

My thought is this: would it be beneficial to learn the very basic principles of x86 assembly? I don't mean actually "learning" assembly, but finding a website or two that explains the basics of these things as they relate to C and C++.

Wuh?

I like Xbox programming because you can have great graphics without having to worry about poor peoples not being able to run it, because most poor peoples won't have an Xbox 360. No offense, poor peoplez.

If you can do any models for FW, reply to the FleetWars thread.
