Battlefield 4 will be 60fps and 720p on PS4/X720

60fps and 720p or 1080p 30fps will be standard in next gens.
New Killzone runs at 30fps 1080p

PS4 will have tablet class CPU (though 8 core one) clocked at 1,6Ghz with budget-level (even for today standards) GPU with power between Radeon 7830 and 7850.
You simply need to compromise with such hardware.
And X720 probably will be similar or even somewhat slower if leaks are true.


There is no 7830. A graphics card like this doesn't exist. PS4 Gpu is with 18 CUs between 7850 (16 CUs) and 7870 (20 CUs)

Yes the 8 core is a small CPU but Tablets don't run with 150+Watt.

 

Games are mostly GPU limited anyway. In a Console the CPU is not that important especially with GPGPU. Games on PC utilize just 2-4 Threads max. So 6-8 Core CPUs arent utilized anyway. Alot of CPU time in a PC goes to Windows anyway this will not be the case in a Console. A Cpnsole CPU can make Draw Calls 10 times cheaper than a CPU in a PC. The Overhead on a PC is massive, especially for the CPU.

So really CPU is no Bottleneck for Consoles at all. Its again the GPU. PS4 GPU is about 2Tflop its budget but people underestimate how much power AA costs and also there is a certain optimization potential 1080p@60 fps with tweaked (reduced) IQ is entirely possible for PS4.  

People wiill be surprised that the difference will not be that big. Diminishing returns are a thing 1440p 120 FPS will be reserved for PC. But BF4 1080p/60fps with subtle trade offs in image quality  will be absolutely possible on PS4.
