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.

Aruss94DNaDee Of course the PS4 is way stronger. AMD has said it, Sony has said it, Xbox devs have said it, anyone with a brain has said it. It's also 100$ less which makes you think what the **** was microsoft thinking making a system that is weaker and 100$ more with most of it's selling points behind a 60$ paywall along with their own individual payments.
actually if u read microsoft has never said that. but honestly, can everyone shut up about graphics. seriously. unless there is an exclusive gaming title then that is when you can notice the graphics change. but if u play cod/battlefield its virtually the samee.
Graphics in CoD and BF3 are the same? That's a good one. Never tell it again.

None of this matters. Every single multi-platform game will look exactly the same. PS4 Exclusives (which there isnt many) will use all that extra power. Since it has all that hardware in it, its going to need to stay cool, and i dont understand how thats possible if its that small and only rear exhaust vents. Better hope it doesnt end up like the Phat xbox 360

Microsoft would never say that, that would jeopardize their sales.

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
They are defiantly not equal in specs I could tell you that for sure.

Bankshot Why does people always have console wars.
Because it sells the consoles quicker then them actually saying that there is no competition between the both of them.
