as of

conclusion: Xbox 360's CPU power is handled by a triple-core 3.2ghz IBM-made processor. That's THREE 3.2ghz cores for a staggering 9.6ghz of multi-threaded computing power. This means that games can be programmed to have certain functions offloaded to other cores for processing. In a nutshell, this means one CPU core can be dedicated to AI (Artificial Intelligence used by computer controlled opponents), another dedicated to polygon pushing and yet another for anything else they wish to program it for. By comparison, PC's have a max of 2 simultaneous cores as of this writing for desktop computing purposes.





Doesn't "as of" have the same meaning as "from ...on"? I substitude it into the sentence but still doesn't make sense to me.



How to interpret the last sentence?



Thanks.

Here, 'this writing' means 'the time this was written'.

Is that clear now?
