I find it funny how 1.25 CPU is slow and 1.6 is fast. Only in the internet... its those 350Mhz that make the difference!
It might be easier for people to say Nintendo is slow and Microsoft is fast! Its about as obvious that theres no logic to it.
|
3 cores @1.25 is (not a little bit, a lot) slower than 8 or 16 cores @ 1.6
here in the internet and everywhere.
i don't get what is so difficult to understand...
|
Not necessarly. Depends on the CPU tech. And other rumors pointed out that half of the cores will be used for kinect. So it seems true that all next gen consoles will have similar power.
|
If that is true then a basic $600-$700 PC will wipe the floor with all the consoles, which is really just someones laptop and console budget combined.
My 3 year old PC hammers the crap out of the Wii U in everyway and it's using yester-years tech e.g. DDR2 RAM and a phenom II. The consoles are going to have to watch out for the steam box if they really think seriously low-clock speeds are going to give them next-gen capabilities.

So much power just to play an exclusive like Farmville. Im happy for you....
|
World of Warcraft? Starcraft? Diablo? Planetside 2?
All games at a true 1080p resolution?
The bigger, better version of BF3?
DX11?
Almost all MMO's are PC only, something you have forgotten....
Oh wait nah u just jelly ^-^

Nice you spent a lot more money than the rest of us to play 4 relavant exclusive games. Not only that youre actually so superior you felt the need to come here and boast that you have a gaming PC that you can upgrade next year with a video card and RAM more expensive than any console just so you can be on top and boast on more forums that you have the best. Those 4 games were definately worth the price.

I spent more money because I also needed something to do word processing on that ideally wouldn't die in 18 months aka most laptops, plus can also play games.
The advantage is that I get to play games which are cheaper, don't look like shit and run a lot faster & access to a whole world of mods. What I don't get are a bunch of reworked exclusives that are identical to their predecessors and laughably priced, or watered down versions of games e.g. Battlefield 3.
I never boasted about upgrading my PC.....Someones clearly jelly xD
Also you clearly don't know the price of RAM as a decent set is about the same as a wireless pad....
Either way if the next consoles focus on being small and efficient over being power hungry beasts, gaming will be far superior on the PC then on the consoles. Just take a look at BF3, PS2, or even just DX11.
