If these are true these are some horribly underpowered consoles......
Like wow next gen will be pretty awful. In fact I might completely skip next gen and go strait PC |
I would bet we will get something similar to the latest rumors. I wouldn't worry too much
PS4 "Orbis"
- AMD x86 3.2GHz APU Solution (Jaguar/Steamroller), 4 cores (2 core pairs), [Higher Clock than X720/Durango]
- Maybe AMD 8000 series GPU solution [Customised Solution Possibly utilising GPU + APU combo]
- 2-4GB GDDR5
- Launch Fall 2013/Early 2014
Explanation: PS4 has a higher clock, but less cores and is using an APU solution (CPU & GPU elements combined onto a single chip). The PS4 has less RAM but is using faster GDDR ram, so the overall performance should be a wash.
For more information, Jeff Rigby's rumour roundup.
Xbox 720 "Durango"
- AMD x86 Jaguar 1.6GHZ 8-Core [Targeting one core being dedicated for OS tasks]
- AMD 8000 series GPU
- ESRAM on the GPU (unknown amount)
- 8GB Ram DDR3, [1.5GB of RAM likely reserved for the operating system]
- Launch 2013

Just to clarify, I'm not familiar with the expression "should be a wash". Does it mean it should be similar or better...?

Similar. on paper the ps4 may look better but MS and AMD have said to have done a lot of customization on durango to boost performance or something. So yes overall similar in performance.
From what I read these specs mean that both consoles will be around the same ball park but will have strengths different areas. For example the way the RAM is places could boost different areas in games. Durango more ram, slower vs Orbis less Ram but much faster. I think Digital Foundry articles in the future will be very interesting :D

Meh, I'm betting it will be much like the PS3-360 gap this gen with the difference the relatively small Orbis advantage will translate to multiplatforms too.
And to anyone still with hopes of a 6670 I refer you to neogaf. The member who posted these specs and the roadmaps got banned later and his posts deleted because the site wouldn't dare to expose that information and it's not the first time they had to do that to an insider. It's pretty much confirmed by now, unless there are some constraints of physical order when actually assembling and testing the hardware.
