But PS4 and X1 are actually utilizing six cores for games, not to mention Wii U with three...

XboxPS4570d ago

Wii U Specs:
3-core PowerPC CPU @1.2GHz
2GB DDR3
AMD Radeon GPU @550MHz
Xbox One Specs:
8-core x86 AMD CPU @1.75GHz
8GB DDR3
AMD Radeon GPU @853MHz
PS4 Specs:
8-core x86 AMD CPU @1.6GHz?
8GB GDDR5
AMD Radeon GPU @800MHZ
Don't know how much the Wii U is utilizing for games...
Maybe 1?

ipach4570d ago

sorry to geek out, but just have to point out that clock speed is hardly as important for GPUs as the number of shader cores, bandwidth/bit rate and ROPs; e.g. there's a reason you get significantly better performance from an 800MHz 7950 than a 1GHz 7870... Clock speed is still important, but can be deceiving

linkenski4570d ago

Pretty sure you switched PS4 specs around with Xbone or something. PS4 is said to have 1.8Ghz and not 1.6.

TheKayle14570d ago

#linkenski
no ps4 have 1.6ghz xb1 have an higher clocked cpu
he forget the esram on the xb1 ;) just that

adorie4570d ago (Edited 4570d ago )

I don't think we have hard confirmation as to what the actual core clock of the PS4 CPU is.

If someone has hard proof, link it here.

Good interview but poorly interviewed. Twisted headline, pushing to much for opinions on Xbox vs PS4 technical differences, we know they're restricted on answering those things directly. Asking how mantle will effect console visuals, when Mantle is specifically for PC.

But yeah, look forward to seeing their hardwork in action.

solidboss074570d ago

No shit Sherlock - in response to the title.

And I think Sony studios will be up to speed already. Working with Cell.B.E will make them ready for multi core CPU.

No?

ATi_Elite4570d ago

I'm more interested in the "Flux Capacitor" Engine than Nitrous Engine.

The XB1/PS4 have 8 core CPU but they are SIngle threaded so as long as the Engine evenly distribute work then you are fine.

The real issue is Game engines that don't evenly distribute work across multi cores and engines that don't make use of Multi-threaded cores like Intels.

Most of these problems have been solved so we should all be good BUT yes a few games out there have this problem ESPECIALLY PORTS!

on the PC side I'm more interested in Low Level api's than game engines as PC's have been seeing proper Dev techniques now but Low Level api's are needed.......

as the GPU is doing most of the work anyway now a days.

In consoles it's still a nice balancing act of CPU/GPU to get full potential out of the consoles.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio53d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing53d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9253d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit53d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing53d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9252d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
