PS4 memory and ALU are considerably faster than Xbox One, dev claims
The claims come from this Edge article. The site claims that developers have painted the difference between both consoles as “significant” and “obvious.”
Edge’s sources are reported to have said that the PS4 memory reads between 40-50% faster than Xbox One, and Sony’s Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) is around 50% faster than Microsoft’s. The example given by the site stated that a “platform-agnostic development build can run at around 30FPS in 1920×1080 on PS4, but it’ll run at “20-something” FPS in 1600×900 on Xbox One”.
One source also said that, “Xbox One is weaker and it’s a pain to use its ESRAM.” Microsoft recently said that it had upped the console’s clock speed, but another developer told the site, “the clock speed update is not significant, it does not change things that much. Of course, something is better than nothing.”
Apparently, both Sony and Microsoft have not finalised each console’s form, and that both companies are working on new graphics drivers for each respective system. Microsoft is being slow in the matter, one source suggested and added, “that has been hurting them.” Another source called the Xbox One graphic drivers, “horrible.” Drivers are said to improve right up to launch however.
It’s not all doom and gloom in the Microsoft camp however, as one source stated, “Let’s say you are using procedural generation or raytracing via parametric surfaces – that is, using a lot of memory writes and not much texturing or ALU – Xbox One will be likely be faster.”
What do you make of the above? Let us know below.

PashtunDlCEOh really? Do you think people will believe some guy named DICE that says "Micorsoft Supporter" in their avatar? LOL just shut up.KatsumiJPEG Bulls*it, they are both equal in specs.
They are not both equal in specifications, one console is bound to be better than the other, as they are using different hardware components
I can assure you that there not equal but there won't be a 10%-50% performance difference. These people act like ms dosent know what they are doing. Trust me neither company would allow any noticeable difference. They arnt stupid, it's these "developers" that most of the time no one knew about try to side with one console hoping to get a deal if they convince enough people. Only trust post from actual employees of either company as they will not lie as that is false adevertisment. Unless the use an indirect term such as side by side comparison
Multiple devs already said that the PS4 is 40%-50% more powerful. Like the Gears of War dev, anonymous E3 devs, war thunder dev, and these devs.
You are so biased... Just because I support ms dosent mean I'm lying. Plus it's impossible for the ps4 to be 50% more powerful when it's cu's are 6.6% slower, and it's ram bandwidth is only 172 gbs while the xbox one on paper is 276 gbs. Neither one is 50% stronger, nor 30%. Ms would not let that happen. Neither would sony now grow up fanboy

Daw Why does this even matter ? It doesn't make much of a difference.
Maybe it doesn't for you and me, but for them it does. Could be the difference of a couple of customers.
