I did mention it was in theory :P Digital foundry were just testing for the theoretical difference when accounting for nothing but the 50% higher amount of graphical computing power. I assumed, when he said about being 50% stronger, that he had read their findings but not gone on far enough to see that it didn’t result in a 50% performance increase, but rather a 24%.
I did read it early last week, so if I’ve remembered that all wrong I’d appreciate knowing what i've forgotten/missunderstood :) |
You remembered the correct number, it's just that that number is incorrect ;)
DigitalFoundry really screwed up that analysis. They used the wrong GPUs to replicate each system and completely ignored other differences in the consoles. Plus even if they did this test correctly, they are still using a flawed technique. In other words, just stick with a very broad term such as "around 50% stronger" or "somewhat better." Any specific X% in power difference for the whole console is the wrong way to even think of it.
