I did mention it was in theory :P Digital foundry were just testing for the theoretical difference when accounting for nothing but the 50% higher amount of graphical computing power. I assumed, when he said about being 50% stronger, that he had read their findings but not gone on far enough to see that it didn’t result in a 50% performance increase, but rather a 24%.

I did read it early last week, so if I’ve remembered that all wrong I’d appreciate knowing what i've forgotten/missunderstood :)

This is the most random post I have seen in a while xD

Nice.

OMG! If this turns out to be true, that means that the One will be 50% better than the PS4!

You remembered the correct number, it's just that that number is incorrect ;)

DigitalFoundry really screwed up that analysis. They used the wrong GPUs to replicate each system and completely ignored other differences in the consoles. Plus even if they did this test correctly, they are still using a flawed technique. In other words, just stick with a very broad term such as "around 50% stronger" or "somewhat better." Any specific X% in power difference for the whole console is the wrong way to even think of it.

Aaah, I wasn't aware of that. I thought their method of going about it was odd, but didn't know it was actually incorrect (my hardware knowledge doesn’t expand far past my own computer :P)

Yeah I feel ya on that. Fellow old man here but you got me by a year.

And this comment is for people who take console wars too seriously .  Not really sure what is funny about a company listening to fans but ok then.

With that said I don't like listening to rumors but a lot of rumors has become true this year that keeps popping up.  Still, I dont think it is possible to change hardware this late in the cycle.....Then again they just bundled the headset as well.  I will admit I dont know much about the manufacturing side of things from a business as most don't here.  I'll take this as a rumor and whatever happens, happens.

Glad you all like headset. We’re not going to 12gb, just to be clear. Feeling great about game performance – stuff is looking killer.

Ummm...did anyone click the actual link in the OP? This has been deconfirmed already...

the only thing i can say to that is they also tweeted before about not including the headset so dont know if this would 100% kill the rumor but it does make it seem less likely  then what it was
