Sony - PS4 cpu underpowered? - View Post

The CPU is considerably the weakest point of the console, but the Xbox is using the same supposedly. For games it is more about the GPU. That is what will render the graphics. Still, think 8 cores and the amount of processing it can do over the PS3. Not as bogged down rendering graphics, able to run multiple functions. It is still very impressive.

They could go with piledriver or an Intel CPU, but they are trying to offer an architecture for developers while operating non gaming functions in the background. It is a solid choice that will offer function and a cheap and low power draw.

PS4 is an amazing package from start to finish.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(
