Microsoft offers more Xbox One-to-PlayStation 4 hardware comparisons
This week, Microsoft Xbox marketing head Albert Penello, who has defended the Xbox One's hardware specs in the past, posted a message on the NeoGAF forums with what he claims are more even-handed comparisons between Microsoft's console and the PS4.
Penello said the idea that just because the PS4 has 18 control units to the Xbox One's 12 CUs, doesn't make the PS4 more powerful. He wrote, "Multi-core processors have inherent inefficiency with more CU's, so it's simply incorrect to say 50% more GPU." He also said that each of Microsoft's CUs runs six percent faster than the CUs in the PS4.
Additionally, Penello claims that the Xbox One, with its DDR3 memory, has more bandwidth than the PS4, which has GDDR5 memory. He wrote, "176gb/sec is peak on paper for GDDR5. Our peak on paper is 272gb/sec. (68gb/sec DDR3 + 204gb/sec on ESRAM). ESRAM can do read/write cycles simultaneously so I see this number mis-quoted."
The Xbox One also has 10 percent more CPU than the PS4, according to Penello, adding, "Not only a faster processor, but a better audio chip also offloading CPU cycles." Finally, he stated Microsoft has "3X the coherent bandwidth for GPGPU at 30gb/sec which significantly improves our ability for the CPU to efficiently read data generated by the GPU."
Penello did say that while he was not trying to disparage the PS4's hardware specs, he did feel that some people who have tried to compare the two systems were using inaccurate methods. He also said Microsoft's senior graphics and hardware engineers will offer even more information on the Xbox One's hardware features.
"They will be more credible then I am, and can talk in detail about some of the benchmarking we've done and how we balanced our system," Penello wrote.

Daw Why does it matter ? It doesn't make much of a difference.

i agree i feel they are the superior CONSOLE but we all know that people will fight saying PC gaming is superior
I was console fanboy until 2 years ago, pc is definitely the most fun system to play on, but its more adult oriented, and you have to know people if you want to, since people in game usually dont use mics, but hey the less 12 year olds the better

Dr-JSquadsDunZero_DevCan you elaborate the problems? You keep saying there was a problem.sir_greco570 Well we all new this competition was gonna start, Sony and Microsoft has been fighting for how long to make better systems... I just hope the One doesn't have the problems the Xbox 360 had..Can you elaborate the problems? You keep saying there was a problem.
which problem would you be talking about? ive had a 360 for 4 years now and havent had problems at all?
Ever since 360 released back in early 2000s and up to 2007, there was alot of problems. After 2008, not alot of problems occurred.
I think they're talking about the red ring of death, it's basically impossible for that to happen to the Xbox one now.
Yep, and thank god for it. I had the RRoD before. But that was years ago
Same, i have had it twice, Hopefully no repeats

Those problems you are talking about, is it mainly the RROD you are talking about?
And by early 2000s you're talking 2006-07 therefore the 1st year of the cycle where you always have bugs, please stop talking about this with your ridiculous information.
