The specs quoted are for the 5870 not 5970... typo on the 9 I guess.
The 5970 puts out 4.64 TFLOPS, also from 2009.
You would have to be retarded to build a gaming pc using an APU. Buying an APU in the pc world means you are buying a substandard cpu paired with a mediocre gpu and mounting it on a feature deficient, underperforming motherboard and you can forget about dual GPUs too. Then you are locked into that combination pretty much until you are ...

I don't know about that... the AMD HD5970 was launched in 2009 for $380.
850Mhz clock, 2.72 TFLOPS, 25 compute units, 1600 stream processors, 80 texture units

800Mhz clock, 1.84 TFLOPS, 18 compute units, 1154 stream processors, 72 texture units. Doesn't seem like 2013 tech to me.
Just because the pc doesn't have access to the 'definitive' version (yet) doesn't mean it couldn't easily run it, some...

Once air gets under a formula car you see pretty spectacular airborne crashes.

$399 (cost of console)
PLUS the cost of online multiplied by the life of the console:
7 (years of life) x $50/yr (online charge)
= $350
PLUS the premium pricing on games multiplied by the life of the console
7 (years of life) x $95/yr (premium game pricing, more if you buy more than 6 games/yr)
= $665
Which gives you the real cost of owne...
It's true that some 5400rpm drives gobble up power but the HGST drive is a power sipper and in general, faster rpm means more power consumption (heat). See pic below.
http://media.bestofmicro.co...
HGST basically has 2 series of HDs that are 500GB and 5400 rpm, the 750 series and the 500 series.

Most HD sports channels are 720p60 with some premium ones being 1080p60, HD news networks are 1080i30, HD movie networks can be 720p60, 1080i30 or 1080p30 and they all use a 3:2 pulldown because film is 24fps. Most HD broadcast tv today is shot 1080p24 and also uses 3:2 pulldown and broadcasts at 1080i30 or 1080p30.
Film is shot at 24fps because of very old standards based completely on the physical film media. Rolls of film were/are expensive ...

I remember at the beginning of the current generation of consoles when few people had 720p televisions let alone 1080p and tons of people were playing ps360 on tube televisions.
Fast forward to today, 4K televisions have been available for a while now. Seiki has a 39" 4K television for $700 and a 50" 4K television for $944 and TCL has a 50" 4k television for $1000. Those are competitive prices. Even Samsung's UHD display is $3500 for a 55" which is l...
@insomnium2
On PC, the developer optimizes for a target amount of power not a specific hardware configuration. Developers make games that are balanced and designed to run smoothly with a target power then the pc gamer has the power to manipulate the engine to suit their own rig.
Console gamers talk a lot about optimization but it takes years for that to happen while the PC industry completely walks away in terms of power. It's great that naughty dog got the last ...

@dantesparda
I don't know for sure but I would be VERY surprised to see otherwise. Here are some of the reasons I would be surprised to see a faster hard drive:
1. Historically, Sony (and Microsoft) have never put anything but the least expensive hard drives that they can negotiate into their consoles.
2. The price disparity between a 5400rpm laptop drive and a 7200rpm laptop drive is significant when you are building a box that only grabs $4...
