Didn't GG help design PS4? And so many people confused about what bottle necks GG are talking about.. some are confusing it with peak performance!.. some are considering to bog down the cpu and gpu with inefficient codes and a poorly written engine.

So in simple terms PS4 has what? some where around 1.8 ish teraflops, what GG meant is that none of the components in the system will hold back the other to achieve that performance... best example is PS3, CELL was bottle necked by weak gpu and gpu was further bottled neck by memory pool. But I m sure people will still beat around the bush


basically every console is made for balance, only ps3 was really unbalanced. if sony changed that, ok. but ps1, ps2, xbox (360), gamecube, wii... all were designed for balance. this is nothing new or surprising. thing is: you can repeat what all others before you said with confusing limited performance and bottleneck but that doesn't mean there is no bottleneck. it *always* depends on your code and what you want it to do. simple as that. repeating false arguments doesn't make tham true.

thats what GG is trying to say they developed HW not to have any bottle necks. how developers bottle neck the system is different story altogether.. And if i could remember all sony console was built around a specific component for PS1 it was CD, PS2 EE, GS and PS3 CELL.. for PS4 they have unified approach.

Both PS4 and NXTX will be weaker, the only question is which one will be the weakest between the two!

Why is this an important question?

yeah i know its kind of irrelevant, should have added p.s :D

OK :) Well, I don't say it isn't important for me but I am mostly interested in how they are different and how the systems will work as a whole. PS3 was also better performance-wise than x360, didn't change my mind. And remember ppl have something to argue about! Forums would be boring without usual suspects twisting every bit of their favorite console to make it look better than the other ;)
