-Let me just do the bloody math: -16x the RAM -The RAM is at least 3x faster -90nm CPU -> 28nm = 3.2x the room for more transistors (What makes up CPU's) --90nm GPU -> 28nm = 3.2x the room for more transistors (What makes up GPU's Core) -8 cores instead of 6 (Useable for gaming). -The PS4 CPU has 8 full cores instead of 1 core + 5 SPE's. -The CPU speed will probably be at around 1.8 GHz instead of 3.2 GHz
So how you put a total number on that is beyond me, but look at it this way: -The PS4's GPU can calculate 2176 GFLOPS to the PS3's 176. That is 12.4x the power alone! With everything else, it is very fair to say the PS4 is AT LEAST 10-15 times stronger than the PS3.
Now just accept it! Otherwise I can break down how the Wii U is no stronger than the PS3... |
Problem is you're math is bad.
PS3 is 230.4 GFLOPS, so assuming your PS4 GFLOPS value is correct, then the jump is 9.5x, however Sony hasn't released the GPU performance figures of the PS4, we only know that it's based on a graphics card which produces 1860 GFLOPS. So if we use those two figures, then the PS4 is only a 7x jump. However we know that the PS4 GPU will be slightly improved, so 9x is a good figure.
As for the CPU, I've shown this earlier, but the increase is 5x.
RAM Speed is about 3x greater, and RAM is 16x as much. However, except for RAM nothing is above 9x, and the most important factor is GPU power, and that's roughly 9x.
So like everyone else in this thread, except you, believe (CGI even changed his opinion, but won't admit that we has wrong one of the two times) the PS4 is about 8-10x as powerful as the PS3 (Some people think 8-9x, some thing 9-10x)
