Is PS4 the Fastest Next-Gen Console?

People like software and people like hardware; some like style some like ability. Take the Xbox 360 vs. PS3, the Xbox 360 may have better looking games but the PS3′s Cell Processor is a lot stronger than the Xbox 360′s hardware. So what about the PS4 and Xbox One?

Speculation. wait for E3 LOL

EDIT

Xbox one has eSDRAM (Enhanced Synchronous DRAM) the article has *SRAM*

Article made up od speculations and don't even have the facts right LOL

E3 is around the corner. All will be revealed then so speculation is pointless

JoGam4735d ago

It was already revealed.

bicfitness4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

Your denial is extraordinary. The specs are in the wild. They have been confirmed. PS3 > Xbox One, by a wide margin. Go read the Digital Foundry article, you buffoon.

To recap (PS4 is on the left):

GDDR5 > DDR3
1.8 TF > 1.2 TF (This is KEY, as the raw GPU power is +50%)

Bu-bu-but, the Cloud! Okay. I'll give you that one as the MS Cloud is powered by imagination. Like fairies and unicorns.

I'm sure that MS will have plenty of money-hatted "exclusives" (for a year until those contracts are up) for you to wet yourself at E3. So just stay low till then. And out of tech threads.

LostDjinn4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

"PS3 > Xbox One, by a wide margin." In sales yes but I get the feeling you meant PS4.

Anyway, I think greenpowerz is broken. It's happened to some people here recently. Just don't be too hard on him.

Edit: I was a little hard on a user a while back and I think I embarrassed him so badly he started acting out. It's just not worth doing that to people.

OT: Yes the PS4 is the more powerful console. If you're into that sort of thing enjoy it.

bicfitness4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

Thanks Djinn. Correction: PS4> Xbone. But PS3 isn't that far off with the Xbone's gimped specs.

zebramocha4735d ago

@lostdjinn the ps4 is more powerful so stuff like this doesnt zap gpu resources.

@bicfitness
Let's be honest, most of us just read the articles and regurgitate terms we hardly understand (ie, TerraFlops) without actually taking into consideration the intricacies of hardware development.
On paper, the PS4 is a significantly powerful gaming machine that uses high bandwidth system memory and is rumored to have a decent GPU.
But that is not everything when it comes to hardware. There are special custom tweaks to hardware that the common person, or even average PC enthusiast, couldn't understand.
This is why I say that judgment should be reserved for the actual product rather than the raw specs.
But as it stands, basic clock speeds etc. point toward PS4 superiority though that could easily change due to the custom tweaks to hardware that Microsoft is doing.

Gildarts4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

Lol at DDR5 > DDR3
that is an opinion rather then a fact.
Truth is DDR3 sacrifices bandwidth for speed.
While DDR5 sacrifices speed for bandwidth but is in fact much slower.
they'll get the job done at roughly the same time.
PS4 fanboys don't know what they're talking about. You're just assuming higher number means it's better but it's not not in this case.

That 50% more power thing sounds like a lot, on paper. But in real life you won't see any difference. Halo 4 and Forza 4 on Xbox 360 looked better then most PS3 exclusives and yes forza 4 looks better then Gran Turismo 5 there is no arguing. Even though PS3 was supposed to be a lot more powerful, that was also on paper.

Also the GPU in the Xbox One was custom designed for the Xbox One and it cost them 3 billion dollars, While the PS4 has an off the shelf GPU.

If you Expect PS4 graphics to blow Away Xbox One graphics you're going to be disappointed

MRMagoo1234735d ago

@gildarts

You do realise that it is a myth that ddr3 ram is faster the gddr5 right ? I'm guessing you are just spouting bs you have read elsewhere on this site, even if there where more latency on the gddr5 it would be that small a difference that the gddr5 would perform a lot better anyway, and if you think a smaller than a millisecond of latency makes the ram so much slower what is your opinion on the magic cloud ms are trying to say is super powerful even if you live right next to a server you will get around 20 plus ms latency on cable Internet.

SCW19824735d ago

I swear this greenpowerz guy is a 12 year old kid who ignores straight facts when they are presented to him. The specs have been revealed already. They aren't hidden, those specs won't change come E3. You can have your preference all you like but turning a blind eye to the truth doesn't make the PS4 less powerful. PS4>XBOXONE. FACT!

TomOfAllTrades4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

You do realize that eSDRAM is still not going to punch above the PS4's weight right?

"Speculation. wait for E3 LOL"

Nope, it's fact that the PS4 is a better and faster machine, multiple analysis's have proven this, I don't understand why certain 'Fan-boy's' believe it to magically turn on and spring an extra TeraFlop out of thin air, it's not happening lol. Is it really that hard to accept it?

Drekken4735d ago

You would be the only kid on this site still stroking the xbox's fuzzy wall.

Clarence4735d ago (Edited 4735d ago )

Why would have to wait until E3 when the specs for both consols are all over the net. You must be a M$ employee.
Is your first name Arron last name Greenberg?

2009 - Wait for E3!
2010 - Wait for E3 guys! That's where the games are.
2011 - You'll see when E3 comes, i'm telling you.
2012 - Tons of games, all exclusive.Just wait for E3.
2013 - Just wait for 720.Microsoft won't dissappoint!
May 2013 - Just wait until the 21st, Microsoft will blow you away

Now we're back to waiting for E3 again? Don't you see a pattern here..? Severe case of battered wife syndrome with you guys.

Gimmemorebubblez4735d ago

Greenpowerz is in lala land. The Ps4 is more powerful.

PS. Has anyone seen Strongman, Green's opposite.

loulou4735d ago

strongman has been replaced by kratos kills, mariahelfutura and quite a few others.

on topic, looking at the specs on paper, the ps4 is more powerful without question.

but, do we need more of the same article wise on here? this could be classed as a duplicate... about the 100th duplicate though.

no name sites needing hits

ThatCanadianGuy5144735d ago

We are all Strongman and Strongman is all of us.
We are simply, strongmen.

Corpser4735d ago

Yes but it's sad the fastest next gen console only has a 1.8TF GPU, a $160 graphics card has that, barely mid range for today

Utalkin2me4735d ago

Whats sad is you felt the need to come in here and comment.

-Foxtrot17d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose18d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE18d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername17d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy18d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde18d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8618d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8618d ago (Edited 18d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300018d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle18d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7718d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
